motorcycle safety
This weekend, my brother-in-law was involved in a motorcycle accident. He was riding the bike, and my sister and the kids were following behind, when this kid in a pickup truck came outa nowhere and ended up right in front of him. The next thing you know, my sister sees Jon flying through the air (she described it as looking like he did a cartwheel) and landing in the ditch. Chaos insued as everyone tried to get their bearings, but thankfully there was a farmer nearby, who was already on the phone with the authorities as he came over to see if everyone was alright.
According to Alicat, Jon underwent surgery and now has two rods in his leg, in addition to a broken pelvis and foot. No brain damage, though, cause he was wearing a helmet-thank GOd! The first EMT on the scene happened to be Boo's best friend's father-he walked over to Alicat and showed her his helmet, pointing out the scratches on it and said, 'thank him for wearing this, 'cause if he hadn't, this would be his brains.' Blunt, I know-but that's what all of us have been saying-Thank God he was wearin' his helmet!!! He's resting now, and has already started therapy. Please keep him and my sister and their family in your thoughts!
