This guy “weaved through traffic and crossed the tracks from a side that didn’t’t have crossing arms.” There were safety measures in place and this guy not only ignored them but blew them off.
If he’d bothered to dismount and get off his bicycle when the crossing arms came down—and I dare say that most of us have seen bicyclists that don’t bother to take one foot off a pedal and look around at stop signs (They keep going!)—he’d still be around.
I am not a cruel and heartless person, but I think that staying alive and uninjured requires some co-operation from people putting themselves in risky situations—and crossing train tracks even where the trains never go faster than 15 miles an hour is a risky situation. And Brightline runs much faster.
This guy was sixty eight years old. Sixty eight years old, with decades of life experiences to form a data base to draw from when assessing dangers. He should have known better.
