A man fell from a rental bicycle while going downhill on a wet evening in Center Parcs’ Longleat Forest site, in Warminster and suffered fatal head injuries, with the coroner’s inquest finding his death “accidental” after the site director said that it was “strongly recommended” for visitors to wear helmets when cycling.
Ms Price recounted her dad’s face to hit the floor first and then rolling over twice. When she went over, he was already unconscious and lying in a pool of blood, reportedSarah Deverill, the site's Village Director, told the coroner’s court that while they “strongly recommend” helmets are worn by guests, it is “not compulsory” because it is not a legal requirement in the Highway Code.
However, Mrs Killeen-McGuirk told the hearing they had been to Center Parcs on “numerous occasions” and “never, ever” been offered a helmet. She said: “We slowly cycled back, it was starting to get dark. And then I saw people running towards an incident. “At the Cycle Centre our knowledgeable staff will make sure you get exactly the right equipment for your height, age and ability. From adult and junior mountain bikes, to tandems, tag-a-longs and trailers, we have every option you can think of.
