randyvw Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 came upon the rangers working on a guy sat night nov 2, saturday afternoon. saw he had been riding a black banshee. looked like he had stuffed it into a dune on a very abrupt bottom and it got on top of him. one guy had seen the bike and by the time he got there it had been on him quite a while and he couldn't breathe during that time the guy thought......just guessing, but i think probly broken ribs and brain damage from no oxygen for too long. he was labored breathing and they had to transport him to the copter on his side...probly cause his lung was full of blood? didn't look like he might make it? i sure hope for the best outcome for him. that's about all the info i can come up with....oh, yes. they did find his celphone so they could notify his family. so there's a lesson here.....always carry your ID with you when riding, or at least a celphone so they can find family.

dunefreak Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Very scary. This situation might not have been as bad if he had someone riding with him. Try not to ride alone! I hope he comes out ok. Those holes or sharp transitions can come out of nowhere sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakster884 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Hope all is well. Yes cell phone and I'd a must. Even if you take a moderate ride accidents happen. Just never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
