AI-generated summary
A 13-year-old experienced motorcycle rider died from complications of abdominal trauma following a motorcycle crash on private land. He failed to negotiate a 90-degree left-hand turn while riding alone at 28 km/h on a gravel track he had ridden several times previously, striking a wooden fence post. Despite wearing comprehensive protective equipment and the motorcycle being mechanically sound, he sustained fatal abdominal injuries. He received appropriate care at three hospitals including emergency surgery, but his condition deteriorated despite multiple operations. The coroner noted that while ST took appropriate safety precautions, this death serves as a reminder of the importance of supervision in motorcycle sports, though the coroner could not definitively state whether supervision would have prevented the incident.
