Wired 13.06: The Xbox Reloaded: "J Allard is hauling ass downhill on a mountain bike when he sees the hikers. A pair of unsuspecting women strolling through the woods at sunset suddenly find themselves in the path of a mass of titanium, plastic, and taped-together skin and bone barreling toward them at 42 miles per hour. They freeze. Allard grabs the brakes, trying to remember the golden rule of skid management - keep at least 60 percent of the braking pressure on the rear wheel. He slides wide of the hikers only to have his tires lock up in the mud, sending him careening toward a trailside bench. If he hits it, he'll pinwheel over a cliff, into the trees, and back to the emergency room, a place he knows all too well. "
