slowpoke Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 at least it wasn't me... had a company funtion at the bike park today. one of the events was an mtb relay (very short lap)... so about half our team fell, but mostly just dust and a minor bruise, but one guy went down very hard. at first he didn't want anyone to even look but we could all see it was bad. his knee looked very eina and hte medic cornered him to check him over. seems like his worst injury, however, is not his knee - they think his wrist is broken :-( so yeah, if anyone notice an ambo and medic vehicle sirens blazing headed that way it was not serious (unless you consider the fact that he's a develop - needs his hands)
Curlygirl Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Lol men and their ego's Broke my wrist a year ago, it was EINA
cat-i Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 how on earth do you get your company to hold a function there? i'm not jealous. i'm not jealous. oh allright, i AM!
Capricorn Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 thought this thread was in memory of the dude in the US who crashed and hit his head. Turned out, he broke his neck. So guys, it's all good our wounds turn into chick magnets but take the necessary precautions.
Riding in Africa Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 I was at the park before your event started doing some training laps and made sure i was finished before you started. You could see that **** was going to happen beer ,un skilled riders what a mix
h4tch3t Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Ego...Something we all suffer from. Mate of mine on this same forum broke a rib in the Sabie Classic last year on the first stage.Didn't wanna check it out and wanted to do the night stage still. After a check with the medic, which I forced out of him, they realsed his rib is cracked.Stubborn I tell you...
Riding in Africa Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I have heard from a very good source that he fell on the very wide un technical perimeter road!!!!Its so safe it is not even colour coded
slowpoke Posted October 25, 2010 Author Posted October 25, 2010 we did a very short "easy" route - yep it was the wide perimeter section - we had to do a sharp hairpin turn off of it and as an inexperienced rider who was adamant he wanted to get past the rider for a specific other team, he tried to turn a bit faster than his abilities apparently he is at work today
