I walk on that path everyday & sometimes any large vehicles that fly past miss me within inches.Also the amount of pigeon droppings under the bridge sometimes makes it very slippy under foot.My view is some kind of crash barrier should be erected where the path narrows & under the bridge should be cleaned weekly(or better,kill the bloody pigeons).I know non of these were a factor in the poor lads accident,but it could help prevent any further ones from happening.
