Danger Dassie Posted June 1, 2014 Share CoJ emergency numbers, 112 or 10177 will still put a call out and any ambulance service nearby will respond, not just Emergency Services. http://www.joburg.or...id=31&Itemid=32 http://www.joburg-archive.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=697&Itemid=9 Edited June 1, 2014 by danger dassie Sidewinder., scotty, Robodog and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robodog Posted June 1, 2014 Share That's what I asked- maybe old parks?Maybe he means that concrete bridge over the river? Must be Old Parks bombhole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbaker Posted June 1, 2014 Share Must be Old Parks bombhole. That's what I was thinking... A mate of mine broke his back there a few years back (3 I think)He has recovered- but will never ride a bike again. Dr said any slight bump in the wrong spot could cause permanent paralysis...

Fire Engine Posted June 1, 2014 Share It would appear that bomb hole has claimed a few victims of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaXiMuM Posted June 1, 2014 Share Hope all is OK. I ride with my discovery card in my back pocket. I also have discovery membership details on my phone under 3 names. Medical aid, discovery and emergency. All with appropriate numbers to call and so forth... No, I don't have a key lock, just swipe and search. And, yes, everyone should do a first aid course, I have done lots, been certified first aider, life guard and fire fighter for 20 years, refresher every 3 years. nonky, oneten29, slowpoke and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyatt Earp Posted June 2, 2014 Share It would appear that bomb hole has claimed a few victims of late. Seems like The Spruit claims victims in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayleyearth Posted June 2, 2014 Share Could well be.Patches? Patches is still fine as far as I know, but it was peach that broke himself. Not even at a jump/the bombhole, just some ruts at Delta I was told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted June 2, 2014 Share Could well be.Patches? Is that asking if I bailed, or if I caused the bail?! Either way, that's a negative. Aah, thee good ole bombhole. Like the Drake Passage of the Spruit. Many a sailor has scuppered themselves trying to ride it's waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Ruinaard Posted June 2, 2014 Share That bomb hole is notorious. It claimed a fiend of mine's spine - he didn't land it properly and went over the bars, albeit with a multi-tool in his jersey pocket. Fused vertebrae. He cant MTB any more and it was about a year to get him right. Plus i have seen a number of very sore/sick looking people sitting under trees alongside it after it has bitten them. That thing is experts only....Time for some signs i think Spruit Fairies ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
