From my perspective it was a little disappointing to see his reaction.
I've had some HUGE offs, broken my patella (knee cap) into 9 pieces (and took a chunk off my femur and fibula) in one accident (ran up the back of a trayback utility that decided to swing around a car in front and stop) and I swear before you all, I tried to move and my knee hurt, I reached down and picked up a piece of my patella and said "I've fked it now" before getting up (as best I could with one good leg) and hobbled to the side of the road.
The best one was when I broke my hand, wrist and middle finger of my left hand.
Got a lift to the hospital from the scene, walked into the waiting room and told them. They didn't believe me and 11hrs later when the Radiologist said he was going home, I literally begged for him to x-ray me before he left.
The Nurse came in 30mins later and said "You've got three broken bones" to which I said "I know" (3hrs later I had pain relief when they bandaged my arm.....)
LOL!
That last was from dodging a squirrel and hitting a rock wall! (shoulda taken my chances with him!)
This squid obviously has everything done for him - rather than check himself and get off the road - he just lay there screaming for help.
The strange thing was, it looked like the area was fairly uninhabited - so to whom was he screaming?
And as for the 'maybe no-one told him about gear' - if you've ever picked up a magazine or watched telly (or seen a leather clad Hog rider) then you would know.
If you've fallen off your pushy as a kid, and given yourself gravel-rash - then you would know.
Just a member of the 'It'll never happen to me' crowd - and that deer had other ideas.... (bloody good waste of venison right there!)
Cheers,
Rick

Bones break, but skin loss sucks! Still no reason to waste your time screaming like that. Poor soul. I wonder what mommy said to make it all better?
