1) Don't we have "aggressive jocks" who straddle the line between aggressive and insane rides on all the major circuits. Plug in a name in New York, KY, or So Cal and you'll find riders who try to alter the laws of physics.
2) Chicago is one of the 3 or 4 best cities in the country for trauma care. Most Level 1 trauma centers work two rotating teams on 24 hour QOD call for the trauma service. The ED does initial assessment but the trauma team on call is aware of an incoming patient before they hit the door and assumes care almost immediately.
The whole thing is tragic but Rene may have been exceedingly lucky because of the city it happened in. Sometimes the outcome of an act determines how we view the intent.
