Robbie Stewart Posted October 27, 2018 Share I saw a lone cyclist head out that way earlier today at the R27 Bigbay intersection. He was not wearing a helmet. I commented on how stupid he was to do that, and on that road. I pray it was not the same guy, but I have a serious suspicion it is him. Bike looks familiar.

porqui Posted October 27, 2018 Share I'm assume that 99.9% of riders have a phone with them ?? (Which could get stolen and be of no use) Sterkte to the rider - heal up - looks like an old toppie like me which makes healing take longer - eich!

PhilipV Posted October 27, 2018 Share EDIT - Glad his family was found. And I HOPE his friends and family ID him in time to get him to a private hospital ..... ...For that type of trauma, Groote Schuur or Tygerberg is one of the best hospitals to be taken to. Great doctors, and he will be triaged quickly. It's for the aftercare where you want to be in a private hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private ER like N1 sorts you out quick and gets you to urgent surgery the quickest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus Posted October 27, 2018 Share Memory loss directly after an accident is frightening. I've had it twice. I carry my phone with "Wendy" as my ICE number. The phone isn't password protected so anyone who finds me can use it in an emergency. I'm happy to say that phone theft in that situation is highly unlikely here. If someone finds you, they will do the right thing. peetwindhoek, DJR and Robbie Stewart 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how android works.. Bonus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how android works..An iphone wouldn't be much use in a crash...... IF (a big if) it survived the fall, the battery would probably die before anyone managed to press the button 5 times Hairy, Sven137 and jdwet1980 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
