Fallen Rider?

[Sak]

Hey all,
Anybody up at Whistler yesterday? My buddy and I tried to help out with a girl who got carried away from the rock drop on Schleyer. Apparently landed pretty badly on her back.
Does anybody know how she is doing, what the damage was, etc?

...healing vibes, in any case.

Thats too bad

hope she is feeling better sooon, Hopefully no long term injuries

I wonder what the WBP tally is so far...

[Furious]

Bigdaddy on the bb helped her out until first aid got there...
He took off his gloves when doing first aid, helped carry the rider out on the spineboard, went back for his gloves and they were gone...

I sure hope someone took them to the lost and found and didn't take them for personal use... because taking something from someone who stops to do first aid is asking for some ultra bad karma

I was there on that day and saw him in a stretcher, unless it was a different guy.
And some healing vibes to that girl, and whoever else ever falls and hurts themselves.

That is exactly what i did 1 week before that guy. i flipped over the abrs ion mid air and landed 15 feet past the tranny. I heard that guy died a week later.

Wow am I ever glad to be able to type this right now

This stuff is sooo scary. Just how many people get injured or even die doing a fun pastime!!! I remember last year when I was up at whistler going up the chairlift i saw somebody on the ground just after the last jump un schleyer with some bike patrol and then they must have did something to her leg (ended up she like broke both or something like that ) and they were probly putting back in and I heard the most skin pearsing scream ever!!!! I will never forget it!!! Scary and good vibe out to all the injured riders and the people that help them!!!! A little message to bigdaddy, I think I've got an old pair of fox gloves lying around, if don't have another pair then pm and I would be happy to give them to you for just helping out a fellow rider when needed (i don't need them and u do).
