Well I guess you can add my uncle from Lancaster CA, to the list of injuries during the weekend. He was riding his utility quad near the north pole and hit a sand bump that was built up around a bush. It kicked him up and over then the quad landed on top of him. The rangers were great, they brought his quad back to camp and let us know what they were going to do with him. They sent him by ambulance to Phrump, there the doctors at the Hospital said there was nothing they could do for him. From there they ended up medivacing him to UMC in Vegas. Thas was Sat AM and he is still there in the ICU today. He ended up with 7 shattered ribs,(5 with multiple brakes), a hematoma on his kidney, some internal bleeding from something ( we havent heard of what yet ), cracked shoulder and thought he had a punchered spleen. This just goes to show you that you dont have to be hauling a$$ to get hurt out there. It was a very humbling experience for the rest of our camp. I have plans to head to Vegas this weekend if he is not out of the hospital by then. My prayers are with all that were injured out there this weekend and hope everyone has a speedy recovery.
