Default scared to tears....

Last Thursday we when to the dirt bike track and my brother crashed, when I come around and see him he's shaking on the ground drooling, knocked out......I thought he might die. They took him away in a stretcher, and he woke up 2 hours later in the hospital. He turned out to be okay tho, just a concussion, fractured foot, and a really sore shoulder.


I've never been close to that scared in my entire life.

thanks, Idk if any of you guys have been in that situation but I hope it doesn't happen to anyone. At the same time I wont ask my bro to stop riding and live under a rock, and neither will I. I guess thats what makes life exciting.

I have seen my lil bro crash a dirt bike numerous times, good thing he is a tough SOB. I have seen him nearly die 2 times from cancer related ****, so trust me man i know how you feel. It sucks feeling helpless knowing/thinking he might not come back to you and your family.

Glad to hear your bro made it out ok. Could have been much worse. Pass along my well wishes for a speedy recovery.

The only time I felt so sick like that my sister had been in an auto accident, some guy ran a stop sign when we were living in colorado and she had the right of way and was on a rural highway speed limit was 60 she was doing 63, so they collide, I got there before my parents and her car was on its side in a ditch and the dudes taurus station wagon was in the middle of the road completely obliterated, my sister was ok, she walked away with only bruising to her chest and some whip lash, Dr. said she must have had a great car, cause he has seen other accidents like hers where the people weren't as lucky, she had a 00 honda CRV, awesome car in crashes.

Yeah After a friend died a couple years back in a car accident I snapped and became more relaxed less up tight, you only have one shot at life, unless you believe in re-incarnation, so one shot give it all you got, or give it all you want to give.
