Look, this is clearly user error. But two things: everyone, I wouldn't wish a rib fracture injury on my worst enemy, please please please don't let this happen to you! Get yourself some kind of chest protection!

Or use your brain to protect your chest while riding.

Second, and this is why I'm here, can we have a discussion about the deadly Cut out, how to prevent it, and maybe shed some light on my alarm settings on my King Song? I've since set my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd alarms to 20, 25, and 30mph respectively. I want to prevent this from ever happening again, and maybe save someone else from ever having to go through this!

IMHO, it's relatively simple to prevent:

  • Push the leaning efforts slowly to learn the limits of leaning. That is, always assume that the wheel will not take it and use trial and error with small (tiny) increments to revise this default assumption.
  • Always keep the upper body upright when "leaning", https://forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/7049-how-to-lean/
