At 50+ mph coming down a hill, it is rather tough to manuever, especially if you are trying to line up a turn at maximum speed. If something were to happen to me while making a turn on a decent, I would be SOL. I also never put my head down on a decent because there is way too much that can be in the road. Hitting a large pothole could be a disaster.

I hate to see these accidents occur, but as long as people ride bikes I guess there will be accidents. Same goes for cars, trucks, horses, planes, etc.
