As motorcyclists, we must be more vigilant than most other road users. Not only are we far more vulnerable if something goes wrong, but it's a lot easier for disaster to strike if we're paying full attention; a pothole that might just crack an SUV's rim could end a motorcyclist's life. And now we have a new danger to live in fear of: sinkholes.
If you're already stressed out about being swallowed by a sinkhole while riding, then you're more on the ball than me because I wasn't until I found out about a motorcyclist who died after he fell into a sinkhole in Soul, South Korea.
The man, who was in his 30s, fell into a sinkhole that was around 65 feet deep and 65 feet wide one day after it opened up. He was found in a state of cardiac arrest at around noon on Tuesday, although the incident happened at around 6:30 pm the previous day.
