Real rescues, biker hurt in fall

[peanut]

anyone see real rescues on Sky this morning ?

A lady was found lying in the road under her trike? She had a really nasty tissue cut down to the bone and lots of blood loss on the road. I couldn't see how a trike could have gone over so easily ?

Trikes look very stable but I imagine she may have been going quite quickly down hill and turned the steering too quickly and gone over the bars ?

It was a new trike and she was a new cyclist and I could'nt help noticing the the saddle was way too low and the 'chopper' type bars were wide and too high and quite unsuitable for commuting Presumably it was sold to her by her lbs ?

Trikes are very stable but don't go round corners!

Normal trikes? They are known for throwing you in the hedge. It's only recumbent trikes that are very stable, and even they can be tipped if you try hard enough.

Also a bit of a difference between delta or tadpole configuration. Which sort was she using.
