Darwin might apply. The kid might have been smart however. We don't know. It certainly appears that he was not wise, at least at that moment. Wisdom is not genetic--it is learned. I am thankful that my 3 M/C related trips to the ER were not fatal. Hmmm, one of those visits was from a wheelie incident, now that I think about it. I guess I am just a lucky fool. I'm sure that we all could get wiser in our riding. Most important is imparting wisdom to the next generation. I am thinking about how the kid's parents are feeling after this.
One of Solomon's proverbs: Proverbs 10:1
A wise son brings joy to his father,
but a foolish son, heartache to his mother.
