    Wire snaps on Mumbai Highway, slits Biker's throat. Truly bad news.

    "Mumbai: Wearing a helmet is just not enough for two-wheeler riders these days as danger lurks in arcane ways on the city's highways. In a bizarre incident on Western Express Highway yesterday, a 27-year-old biker was killed after an overhead metal wire snapped, slitting his throat." This is how the article begins. Only gets worse after that.

        "Pal rushed Khan, who was still alive, to a private hospital nearby, where he was denied admission. Panic-stricken, Pal then took the still breathing Khan to Cooper Hospital in Vile Parle. However, he was declared dead on arrival. Authorities at the hospital's post mortem centre later confirmed that Khan's death was caused by shock due to multiple injuries."


        Sick behavior by the hospital, he may have survived if these guys had treated him.
        Beware of Bread, don't say I didn't warn you!
        More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
        Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
        Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
        Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !

          That was my thought too initially, but we don't know the kind of facilities or the doctor's availability at the hospital; if they didn't have enough facility, then it was better to ask them get going as it might in turn back fire them.

          But it were otherwise, then I rest the case.

            In a lot of countries a patrol car and ambulance are present in a lot of streets. Back here in India, they arent present in hospitals and police stations too! So, whats new?

              actually out here in kolkata i see patrol cars and ambulnce in some important intersections.
              and the question remains why do i race?

                  There are emergency relief vehicles to respond to accident's but they are on the express highway which unfortunately is not open to bikers....

                  This is really a sad incident, the goverment need to keep patrol cars and emergency vehicles for help on the highways just like they do on the expressway.
                  If they have to they can also charge a toll for using the highway, maybe like 10rs. or something at the start of the highway and another 10 at the end from where we exit for mumbai.
                  Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a Ride!' -Hunter S. Thompson

                    Ever head about doctor not available? Even if doctor not available, afraid of consequence? Facilities not available? Ambulance not available?

                        No matter how much ever safety and awareness we spread on safe motoring, there's no stopping the freak accident.
                        Sad to see such a thing happen. May he RIP.

                          That's a very tragic accident and RIP to the deceased biker. And how many things you have to keep in mind while riding...?? Heck!


                          And like I told you all guys before, The SC Judgement remains in the books only. Even I was troubled similarly on 3 Aug, 2010 when I had a fracture. The doctor was asking my dad if I was riding drunk, and did you inform police, etc, etc. instead of treating my bleeding mangled-up right arm.

                            Yes, looks like it is yet to have passed as law.

                            Moron!!! Had he asked you, it would've made some sense!!! May be the Dr was trying to remain cautious
