Default Why is "Crashing for no reason" OK

How come, If you hit a deer or poodle (LOL not really but IM beating you guys to it) - you are a horrible rider....

I have noticed in alot of threads, that when people crash on a curve or gravel, with no REAL explanation it is somehow chalked up to "nobody's fault".



"I dont know what happened"

"all of the sudden I was sliding"

"The front washed out"

MY FAVORITE: "Must have been something in the road"

"Bike just went out from under me"

"Curve needs repair"

"Heard Other riders have gone down here too"


Not trying to diss anyone but it is kind of a curious thing to me. If you hit something that is moving, you seem to get ragged on, but if you run into a stationary danger, or just completely lose the bike , it is ok?

Or maybe it is just me.

Bored and wanted to post up something new, besides the same threads we have been regurgitating all day.


EDIT: All the people who ragged on me may be glad that through my accident - I have learned this:

I could have avoided it - if i was scanning more - MAYBE i could have seen it coming..- but the problem was that I swerved hard and STILL Hit my favorite dog. I guess an attempt is better than a straight out fall over.

Either way, I dont think the Post accident me would have the same accident again.....so I take some blame
