Got a call from my buddy this morning, telling me of an accident he had last night, and got me wondering what the worst injuries others have got riding.
My buddy was with a couple friends riding trails way too quick at about 3am. All had a couple beverages in them. He came around a corner in a power slide, and a tree branch that had been snapped off with a point impaled him in the shoulder, right under the collarbone, taking him off the bike, and basically stuck to a tree.
His friends were able (and smart enough) to break the small 1/2" limb off closely without removing it, and took him to the house, where his buddys sober wife could drive him to the hospital.
Don’t know that is the worst injury I’ve personally known, but certainly pushes the needle on the "squeamish detector".
