Is it time to roll out the guillotine yet?

Yep, basic physics. The hard side is slidier (the tech term) and the soft side is stickier.
A good thing in many circumstances.

No I hadn't heard of them before this happened. But son-in-law and his brother have been bike riders for years and their wives have ridden scooters and smaller bikes too, although the girls have grown out of it now.
The boys are just a couple of 45yo teens when it comes to riding but my daughter and her BiL and SiL are all nurses so they've seen the effect a road surface can have at high speed. They are very aware of the importance of protective gear.

And wear the right clothes. Daughter 's brother-in-law was jumped by a kangaroo a few months ago and he can't stop praising the air-bag jacket he'd recently bought. Roo still managed to break a couple of his ribs but the jacket saved him from any road damage including his neck. Apparently the whole thing inflates on impact even the collar.
He drove himself to hospital after a couple of passing strangers helped lift the bike up.

I don't think there's a minimum age, I just think that idea developed because a lot of us are slow learners and it took so long for us to emerge from our socialised shells.
I hope we're teaching our children to know better. 🤪

Thanks, that is the sort of considered response we should have had in the first place.
And my apologies, I just realised that I succumbed to the thing that made me annoyed enough to reply to the first response. The outrage factor.
To misquote the old song lyric:
The ONLY thing we ever learn is just to troll and be trolled in return .

He didn't say 'nuclear plant deaths', he referred to all the deaths from the incident. The fact that many people consider a reference to fukishima to mean ONLY the nuclear plant is their comprehension error not his reporting.

You mean there are people who don't love spreadsheets. How is that even possible?
