It is a sad loss.
Wondering if his flambyant BIG hairstyle may be contrubutry to his helmet coming off? Quite possibley. Had he had a shorter cut I think the size of the lid would be considerabley smaller. I can speak from experience as I once had hair like Hendrix but knowhere near as big as Simonchelli's. I got it cut as my helmet always felt loose and was very easy to move on my head. After the haircut the helmet was way too big and I had to buy a new one.
I'm not saying this was the cause but I don't think it helped. The velocity and forces in an accident like that are huge and would have played a big part too. There are also other internal injuries to consider. Only post mortem can determine in more detail what he died of.
P.I.P. Marco

Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad
