Couple of tidbits from the motorcylist death in Death Valley National Park
"Due to the high temperatures, emergency medical flight helicopters were unable to respond, as they cannot generally fly safely over 120 degrees, according to Death Valley. "
"Death Valley said that once a heat index of 99 degrees is exceeded, ambient air no longer helps provide relief. Because the group was traveling by motorcycle they were not able to cool down while riding due to high ambient air temperatures and because of the necessary heavy safety gear worn to reduce injuries during an accident."
