I was on that job Wednesday night. It’s a case of inexperience and crappy equipment. The boy didn’t know how to come down that hill loaded and what to do if his brakes faded too much. We can all sit here and say what we all would’ve done but it wasn’t us taking that ride he did. We can all learn from ones mistake. Know your equipment. Don’t take your knowledge for granted.

Some roundabouts aren't well-advertised and the advised speed is 20 mph. I've been caught off guard once or twice.Bud A. Thanks this.
