I don't give a flying f*uck if he was drunk, participating in risky behavior, etc. My thoughts go directly to--- oh man, he was 26 f*ckin' years old..... 26 year old guys brains just are not fully developed. They do NOT think through every risk to decide if what they are doing is safe or not. And my god, his family.... makes be so sad. Try to FEEL what they are feeling..... to know their boy was hurt and there was not help for him. IMAGINE what is going through their minds...... did he suffer? Did he want his mama at the end? Bless his heart...........
As someone who still reads "the other board" I think you are making a blanket statement of the members there when the vast majority are saying the exact same things as here. I truly feel for this guys family - only 26 years old. The bottom line is, if you have a medical emergency while just about anywhere in Jamaica, good luck. Not sure how riding a scooter is different than doubling up on a motorcycle and touring the island?? I have driven to Port Antonio from Mobay and driven that area for a week. There are crazy drivers all over the island.
