Nighty Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 Euhm.. what can i say, I'm speechless. Life can be over before you know it. Quote
ondeeeznuts Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 Man, that has got to totally suck for his soon to be wife and family!! Quote
nater006 Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 That's sad... I'm sorry to hear that. Another good reason to wear a damn helmet.. Quote
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 That's horrible. All the plans all the dreams now all the memories. I know when I woke up in the hospital after my last crash with all my family there worring about what was going to happen to me it made me think about how easily it could have been avoided with a helmet. I was lucky. Now it's mandatory if I plan on going more that 2000rpm in 1st or leaving the driveway. It's not worth losing everything because you don't want to wear a helmet. Quote

I used to have a rule about "if I'm not going any faster than 1st gear" until one day the clutch lever slipped out of my hand. It bucked me, not very hard, but it let me know how quickly things can get out of hand. They can get out of hand "Simpsons" quick somedays. Quote

sredish Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 Damn, that's terrible. Sorry to hear that. It makes me cringe when I hear about an atv accident with serious or fatal injuries. I just hate it. Accidents happen, but we have a lot of help preventing injuries at our disposal, like helmets, chest protectors, boots, and there's no need to ride like that without wearing them. I've learned, from experience, that accidents can happen even more when you just hop on just to screw around for a minute or so. That's the worst time, cause you think your just playing and not seriously riding and let your guard down, not put on your helmet or some other dumb shit. I don't know what happened in that particular accident above, I just really hate to hear about it. Quote
