It's made me think to say the least.
In the most selfish possible sense if this guy's bike had a brake fitted and he had been unable to use it b/c he needed to change hand position etc, it would be tragic however more black and white in a court of law and would serve as self preservation in terms of him not getting a prison sentence.
Edit: how would this be different if he'd had a brake and didn't use it? - Is the question I'm asking

Another point: Many people ride without covering brakes with fingers. Their braking reaction time would be significantly slower. Too many people ride gripping the bars rather than covering brakes.
