Tough Weekend

**ChumpChange** · 11-06-2017, 04:21 PM

Son got his first ride in an ambulance. Teenager thought it would be cool running a hot lap on his 250 and pretty much went head-on into my six-year-old son on his 50. Saw the whole thing go down about 60 yards away and didn’t know what I was going to find when I ran up to the scene. From where I was, you could see the bodies fly. Fortunately he was in full gear from helmet to chest protector to braces on arms and legs. Tests still being done to figure out the damage. Got out of the ER but now seeing specialists and realizing the ER doesn’t know much.

Maybe I’ll post a picture of the bike later or maybe I should just delete all the pictures I took because they just make me sad. Rough weekend.

Dude I totally feel you. When my oldest was around 6 or so he launched his little 50 quad off a dirt hill and came down helmet face in to the bars. I can still hear him screaming to this day. Worst sound I've ever heard in my life. When I got to where he was all I saw was a mouth full of blood.

Had it not been for some super cool and helpful strangers who saw what happened, all of our bikes would have stayed in that offroad area, because I was going to leave them and haul ass as fast as possible to the ER.

Very similar deal though. That ER got him cleaned up and stitched up. Then we had to take him to ortho's and specialists when we got home.

Fortunately he only ended up with a permanent cool scar below his lower lip.

kids are incredibly resilient and super fast healers and I honestly think we felt worse than he did after the accident.

I hope your son is okay. Please update us.
