The first negligent action could be climbing on the bike.
I think I'm safer slowing and rolling through a stop sign in my truck than I am getting on the bike in the first place.
I realize it's different-- causing a threat for others and all. But I think the point stands-- you're just debating where negligence starts.
I tend to agree with the GP. It's an accident anytime it wasn't intentional, even if it's a preventable accident.
