Default Bad Bike Wreck

This is actually one of my good friends that i go to school with and who has lived by me for many years.

Turns out he got 10 staples in the back of his head and 15 stitches right above his eye. The doctors told him that he could be blind in his left eye.

That sucks. Maybe it's the fact that I'm getting older, but he should've been wearing at least a skate helmet.

Damn, hope dude doesn't lose his vision! This is why I still have my training wheels on my bike.

Kinda saw that one coming though. He was way too close to the bottom on the previous two attempts.

Anybody SAY HELMET!!!!!!! **** like this gives people perfect reasons to not build or shut down these parks. I hope somebody learns from this. I do hope your buddy comes out of this ok sorry if it sounds like I am being a total dick here. Vince


On a side note while watching the video I kept saying to myself someone use your damn shirt to slow down the bleeding. EMT's were very quick to get there.

i agree totally. people just dont understand when people get hurt like that. they start watching the parks, if you dont wear a helmet or protective gear. somebdy's kid will go there and end up with a permanent injury. they will try to sue. which will end up closing down the dark because of people not being responsible.
