Background and Wider Reaction

Following his death, other social media influencers reflected on the dangers of riding motorcycles. Fitness model JT Reinhard commented on Rinaldi's post: "Emotional stress and the road do not mix well. Impact almost took my life in January when someone pulled out of an intersection and I was going 55 without a seatbelt. He seemed like he wanted to do good for this world. When I saw the things he valued he reminded me of someone just like me, someone extremely important. The world watched how strong he was, I can't even believe this happened my heart is beating so fast."
