Seems to me that the "jogger" is more in the wrong than the cyclist in this case. Making erratic moves on a busy trail when your senses are blocked is not the fault of the cyclist. Even if he was speeding, it doesn't change the fact that the jogger did the wrong thing. It is unfortunate the cost was so high.
Making erratic moves? It's a trail, not a race course for cyclists.
The cyclist ran over the runner.
The cyclist is at fault.
It is similar to if some drunk ran over cyclists on a road.
Other cyclists would be all upset, oh he ran over a cyclist boo hoo.
But when they run over a runner they think it's okay and is the runner's fault for getting in their way, even though it was on a running trail and the cyclists should have been out on the road, not on a trail used by pedestrians.
