This is without a doubt, the most asinine post that I have ever seen on this site. Speed is not what killed this fellow, enjoying life was. He was condemned to death when he was conceived and it sounds like he was enjoying a hobby when he died. If you are stopped at a light on 280 and are run over by 80,000 lbs. of truck because the driver goes to sleep or is talking on the phone to their significant other, does that mean that the lack of speed kills? As the great philosopher Jimmy Buffett says “I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead”. Go ahead and live in your sheltered life without any danger, fearing what might happen, waiting for death to take you, I will be enjoying mine. A friend lost a child to cancer last month at the age of ten years, one month, and twenty-three days – but he could find solace in the fact that Austin enjoyed those days doing what he loved – hunting, fishing and four-wheeling. I learned from that child and I hope that I am that fortunate.
