Thankfully the most we're talking about is tits because I'd rather talk about that than say "RIP" to another rider any day.

One thing I learned from MSF is that you put faith on your FRONT brakes - squeeze the shit out of it. I NEVER use the rear brakes.

Not sure about totally preventable...anticipating a car jumping in you lane is one but this was just a freak accident. The car and motorcycle were at least 2 seconds apart but I think her first survival reaction was to look for an escape route to the right which closed up right away and took away precious stopping time.
