Meryem isn't here to tell us if she fell, but I find it very hard to believe that she did. How often does an experienced cyclist just fall off? Saying that though, I understand the coroner can not rule differently where there is doubt. I just don't think the haulage industry in being encouraged enough to commit to best practice, like companies such as CEMEX are doing. Considering the stats DocA presented I find accident verdicts infuriating.
Cynthia Barlow says it much better than me here:
