Well, 3 days after my high school graduation myself, my best friend, and his entire family were creek riding in the bottom lands where we do every year, we had made it about 4 miles down the creek through water over the four wheelers and mud that was over the tires in certain points, haivng several drowned out incidents, had to fish a four wheeler or two out of random holes in the creek, and finally once we got back to where we enter the creek bed we were trying to get up a very very steep and slippery sandy hill, after about 8 attempts doing it the right way I got lazy and sat down on the seat and in a split second I caught a rut on my 28 inch kenda executioners and the four wheeler raised up 10 feet in the year and landed handle bars first into my face..aobut 800 lbs straight to my eye brow. I bent the handle bars back into the frame with my head, and split my face open considerably good. I couldn't feel it but I was in shock and my friend and his uncle threw the four wheeler off and they had owl eyes at the damage that I couldnt even feel. I looked in the relfection in the water and realized my entire face was covered in blood and my skin was dangling over my eye and my bone was visible...so I attempted to remain calm as I start cussing..and they ran me as fast as possible to a vehicle to rush me to the hospital..and hospitals dont take to kindly to a pissed off guy with his head split open that is covered in mud and soaking wet head to toe dirtying up the hospital with every step I took..It was a bad experience, had to lay with my head rested 3 days after graduation for a week with stitches in lots of pain while all my other classmates partied away. Learn from my stupidity..and wear a helmet. Double layer stitches are not fun.
WOW sorry to hear that! Glad you are ok! Thanks for sharing that story maybe it will make someone think twice.
Live it up! Doug
