Never witnessed an on road bike accident, but my buddy and I were dirt biking on a MX track we built on the farm. We stopped and he said he was pretty thirsty. I said ok let's go up to the house. He said maybe a couple more laps. I told him it was up to him, so we ended up going again. He was ahead of me and I had just come off the first jump, I look up and his bike is flipping through the air like on the bike crash shows you see on TV. My heart stopped. The bike landed partly on him, he fell in kind of a sitting position and the bike was still on. The scariest part was the tire was still spinning, he went limp and his helmet hit the tire and it just kicked his lifeless body away.
I ran over to get the bike off of him and see if he was still alive. He was thank god. But very unresponsive. I asked him if he was ok and he said yeah I'm okay but then he kept saying it over and over again even though I only asked once... Well he finally snapped out of it and looked around like he'd just woken up. Looked around, looked at me and just said "what happened". I told him what I saw and he's like really?- he didn't remember a thing.
Anyways he went to the hospital to check for any damage, concussion etc. Nothing of that nature but he was dehydrated :spank:
Scariest thing I've witnessed in my life. What I took away from it is NEVER push it if you think you need a drink. We concluded he passed out right before the 3rd jump and consequently bad stuff happened. I was shaken up for weeks even though he was alright.
He may or may not have passed out if he wasn't dehydrated. But it's good he was limp through all of it.
