Bike accidents and garmin/strava data

[ebikeerwidnes]

I just read this

thought people should know about it
rather shocking case - clearly in foreign places but I can imagine it happening here

I used my strava data when I got my spine broken. 13 mph to zero. The data even showed the bike gained altitude then dropped (it was catapulted some way).

Did you get the KOM though?

Never had to use it but I have already figured out that it would be a good tool to show time of incident etc in the event of anything happening

Mine was recorded on my trusty 200. Still use it every day, it's old. I don't use the Explore for commutes because its more complicated.

The 705 I had at the time would have recorded more data, as would the Explore I have now, but for commuting, my 200 does what I need. Records the miles with no fuss. It did it's stuff. It also recorded me accelerating to over 20 mph when some scallies tried to ram me off my bike at 5pm on a sunny evening commute home - I showed it to the cops. This was just last year. My old 200 works hard, and does it's stuff.
