They also report on people who die in accidents who weren’t wearing seat belts or when kids aren’t secured in car seats, or when people hop barriers and try to walk across 10 lane highways at night and then get smeared by a semi. This isn’t some pro-car blame shifting conspiracy to report on how someone died unnecessarily when easy safety measures are available or were bypassed. The car driver can still be at fault for the accident, but the pedestrian/cyclist/one-wheeler/whatever can still assume risk exists when near traffic and take easy and reasonable precautions. I wear a helmet when riding on bike paths away from cars because you can still get bumped or make a mistake or have mechanical failures and fall and die if you hit your head wrong.
