Health issue and riding, ever worry you?

[Pol Anorl]

This has crossed my mind a lot of times, even more so due to loosing a relative the other day, sudden death as he walked out the shop.

Do any of you guys ever think "what if i have a heart attack whilst riding"

or any other sudden illness which would cause you to lose control such as a stroke or is it just me.

An 11 year old worrying about having a heart attack...


Heard it all now.

No more than "what if I have a heart attack whilst wanking".

I did wonder once if I fainted but tbh, death is a gurantee anyway, however it happens. Concentrate on doing good and enjoying life.

I often think about it as when I had a tumour on my heart I passed out once whilst in traffic on the Daytona... It was then I sold it and got checked/sorted etc.

I just Googled for "heart attack motorcycle" and ZOMFG it does happen!

I don't want to have a heart attack, so I'd better stop riding my bike immediately. Thanks for saving my life!

Meh you can't do anything to prevent dying suddenly tbh. So why bother to worry about something which you cannot influence?

Hell you could have something which you don't know about either.

For instance Fran a skydiver guy I vaguely know a few months ago. He suddenly went limp in the wind tunnel at Manchester Airkix. He started bouncing off the walls. Till they turned down the fans and took him out. He'd died of a genetic condition he didn't know he had.

Oh great, just one more thing to consider whilst riding! As if I don't have enough to deal with like the d*ckhead that's tailgating me when I'm on the limit approaching a speed camera who forgets I dont need to brake to drop speed or the idiot who peals out of a side road across oncoming traffic into me (cue perfect emergency stop) or the van driver who thinks its fun to drift out to the white line to block my view every time he catches sight of me in his mirror so I can't do a clear overtake (oncoming lorries) despite the fact that he's doing 20 in a 30mph and there's absolutely nothing in front of him for at least 20-30 yards......

Sorry for your loss and all but if you were to have a heart attack or stroke whilst riding then unless it was an undiagnosed condition, genetic or otherwise, and/or extremely rare then you would in all probability have warning signs which you would hopefully take heed off and pull over.... In any event, if the worst was to happen I'd rather be riding my bike and keel over than be sitting on the toilet...
