Rider Down

[SlowLX]

I don't know all the details as to whos fault it is, but my cousin was riding his motorcycle today when he ended up runing into the back of a truck carrying windshields today :( He cut his neck BAD and barely missed his corotid, Cut his femoral and another artery in his calf. He's lucky he didn't bleed out, but he's had way more blood transfusions than a normal human should ever have to. His right leg is also fucked up beyond belief. I dont think anyone on here other than Talisman knows him David Slider a 20yr old kid from Arlington. I cant stand seeing him with all that shit in him to keep him alive. Please keep him in ya'lls prayers. :(

Just for more info, he went into surgery about 20 minutes ago to try and save his popiteal artery. If the graft doesnt take we're worried about losing the leg. And he had 2 more bags of blood last night which brings the total to 11 :( I know he's a young kid and all but god damn thats a lot of blood to be lost, I don't even think I saw that much lost in Iraq :(

sorry to hear that, I hope he pulls through.

Damn.....hope he makes a ful recovery.

THe surgery went well to repair his leg, its all pinned up and all the arterial damage was able to be fixed. His tendons in his foot were pretty much torn away however so he won't ever have a full range of motion in it again. Saturday is his next big surgery, they're going in to repair the nerve that allows him to control his breathing.

I hope he makes a full recovery man..He's too young for some bullshit like this to happen to him.. :(

[talisman]

They were talking about this in a meeting yesterday. He t-boned a windsheild truck and got hung up in the middle of it between some windshields and the rack after crashing through a few of them? Jesus fuck. Hope the little bastard is alright. I can't think of a way to possibly wreck a bike worse.
