dunefreak Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Was anyone else out there today? If so did you hear what exactly happened to Scataloni's brother's friend? Evidentally he crashed and suffered some major head trauma (fractured his skull) and lost a lot of blood. Just thought I'd throw this up on here to see if anyone was out there when it happened. Here is where I read about it on GD. http://www.glamisdunes.com/invision/index....124238&st=0 Thoughts and prayers are with him and hopes that he is ok.

dunefreak Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 update: http://www.glamisdunes.com/invision/index....t&p=2558593 ouch! :beer_bang: Evidently he hit the trailer with his head while loading the quad splitting the top of his skull open. Yikes. The serious dangers involved with loading quads is something I think people always forget about. One time at Coral Pink we witnessed a lady get seriously hurt while attempting to load a quad on a side load trailer. When she drove up the load gate the front tire drove up the side of the trailer and the quad flipped right back landing on her and split her head right open. I always think about that every time I load up to go home. Usually you are tired and in a hurry to get loaded up. You don't even think to put a helmet on until it is too late. Just a warning to everyone, be careful. Things can happen when you least expect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandBox_Kid Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Wow....that's a lot of stitches/staples. Someone was very busy. The outcome sounds like it's going to be a good one! As far as loading and unloading, I even put on my harness when I load the rail. I've read too many horror stories to NOT buckle up. Sounds anal, but a throttle sticking could get ugly.

You were there too? Thats crazy. I remember they had to land the helicopter on the highway to life-flight here out. All for an accident that happened in camp!

~JILL~ Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Thats it I'm gonna choke my husband when I get home! He always has me loading the bikes onto or into our trailers. Maybe I know why, now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scataloni Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Good news, Mike is home and resting. Not so comfortably but resting.. Thank you all for you thoughts. He will be recovering for a while, but knowing him he'll be back to ride another day I heard that the ride home was not the most comfortable though.. Continued hopes for his quick recovery..

metalalien Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 You guys should try and load an ATV that has a blower on it... it only has two settings... idle and full throttle (more or less)... scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
