Came across this on Dirt Magazine http://mpora.com/articles/terrifyin...aved-mountain-bikers-life#xyXJGC45CJIZW0LW.97 . I think this guy is so very lucky , kudos to the other MTB`ers about who helped him .
I myself ride alone a lot and often on trails that don`t see very much traffic at all . I just don`t think of this happening at all , it has but I have been lucky to have been riding with people . One nasty one I landed on my head and when the helmet was taken off my head it had split in two .
Will this make me change the way and what I ride ? In short , no . What it will do for me is to make sure I let my other half know exactly where I`m riding and if I ever come across an injured rider like this at least I know how to help them ( first aid course ) .
