    "Now, this accident has snatched away their son too, leaving them childless."

    First of all RIP to the youngster.

    Then:
    to parents of children, including my brothers and sisters who so happily purchase a two wheeler for their children

    1). Every so often Daiji reports a two wheeler related death of at least 1 youth.

    2). Most of the dead youth are the only son or the only child of parents who sadly have crossed into their fifties.

    3). The death rates for youth by two wheelers may surpass the combined death rates of all possible other causes, including drowning.

    4). A person driving a four wheeler can also die in an accident however the chances of survival for a two wheeler rider in an accident with another vehicle is very remote considering that the rider's whole body is exposed. Even if he/she is wearing a helmet the person could die of a broken neck due to the weight of the helmet.

    5). The recklessness and speed combined at which the two wheelers are driven transform it into a deadly weapon.

    7). The manufacturers of these two wheelers happily portray in all their advertisements the economics and speed of their death machines without warning the viewers of the dangers of driving these at high speed.

    All said and done a two wheeler although very economical exposes its riders to grave risks at all times.

    Use the city bus instead, it may not be clean, it may not be comfortable and it could get into an accident however, the threat to life may not be as grave as that from riding a two wheeler.

    I am very sad to hear that both children s life lost due to accidents. How cruel it is. May God Give them strength to bear one more loss.
    Its extremely risky now a days to ride bike in our roads and we have to think twice before we start the bike whether do we need to use bike or not.

    This is heart wrenching incident.Parents lost both children.really sad and unfortunate.R I P Hitesh.Two wheelers are the biggest killers in mangalore and udupi districts. every day there are one or two incidents and that too youngsters. still why the parents, traffic department do not wake up.why parents cannot control giving 2 wheeler to teenagers and youngsters.Believe it or not one person in every four families in Mangalore and udupi have either seriously injured or died in two wheeler accident. Good statistic for smart city.
