HT has been keeping her Summer exciting with a new found sport. For years she's been on the back of my bikes. This year we decided it's time to saddle up on her own. She did well except for a few slow speed incidents. So I decided she needed to learn a little accident avoidance and I bought her a motocross bike. She has been hooked since the first ride. She has a bad habit of going way to fast and grabbing too much front brake. So she has had several trips over the bars. Lost some skin a few times, and named her bike "lil tuffy" because it always bounces back.
July 21st we were up at the vacation home in Northern WI planning a weekend of motocross and street bike riding. I am riding a new bike that I am still tweaking so I told her we are going to have a mellow ride. I didn't feel like bleeding. She got bored of that real quickly and decided to let me get an 1/8 mile or so ahead so she can ride balls out without me knowing.
So I came up on a few atv riders that were coming towards me and I stopped to let them know she's behind me. After a minute or so I got that all so common sinking feeling that she wiped again. So I turned around and drove back towards her and as I got withing an few hundred feet the atv'ers were waving their hands in the air. I then saw her laying on the trail. Every time she crashes she is usually holding up a bike part standing next to her bike with this "I'm sorry" look on her face. This was different, she wasn't moving. Her helmet was off so I knew she was alive, but she's a tough chick so I knew it wasn't good.
When I got to her she was screeming "I broke my leg". I asked her to let me move her off the trail and she couldn't handle any movement without a horror movie style scream.
So without making this a four page story, I will sum it up. It took about another hour and a half to get her out of the woods with a dozen emt / search and rescue people. Then another hour and two ambulances to get her to an er. I have never encountered so many skilled and kind individuals an a accident situation and I have been through many. They let me help and be with her throught the entire ordeal. She was pretty banged up, and no amount of morphine or sedative did anything until we got her crushed femur into traction.
So she ended up with a broken femur, (badly broken). Her arm lost some skin and looked broken but was ok. Her hip also was pretty banged up. Thanks to full protective gear her knee is still in one pc and the rest of her body is ok. Without the gear she wouldn't be so lucky.
I have to go pick her up and bring her to the gym, but will post pics later. Even with 45 staples and an erector set in her leg she's still lifting!
