My ridding buddy Hermann was stretchered off the mountain at Tokai, Snake Eyes single track just below Boomslang on Sunday. Hermann is in hospital with multiple fractures to his neck, cracked skull and is lucky to be alive. Thank you to the EMC team who made it up and helped us get him to hospital in the quickest possible time without causing further injuries. A big thanks also goes to all the other riders who dropped their bikes and jumped in to help us carry him up to the ambulance. Special mention goes to the guy who rode down to the parking lot waited for the ambulance directed them right to us and helped with getting bikes down to the parking lot etc..etc. We have been ridding for some years in Tokai and I never thought this could happen to me or somebody close to me. Please guys have all your ducks in a row i.e. Current Emergency contact number for starters. Also please treat any neck or back injury with the utmost care if we had had not been careful things could have been very different. Once again on behalf of Hermann and myself thank you for all the help and support.
