I Crashed My Quad

Well the Way I Ride, some of you knew it was Inevitable.
Below are Three Videos.
First one is Slow Motion of How it Happens.
Second one is Normal Speed, and what happens after the Accident.
Third one Follows more of what happens after .

I Was Riding By Myself. I was going through a Mud HOLE Either there was a log or a rock, or A Dip but just as I was almost through it, Machine, Rolled over on my right side, as soon as I contacted the ground, I Heard A SNAP! I got up, flipped the Quad back over. I had the wind knocked out of me.

5 broken Ribs
1 Punctured Lung
1 Broken Collar Bone
2023 Quad Riding Season is Over for ME!

Holy crap man!  You're lucky to be alive. Heal up quickly and stay active brother! 

I ride alone sometimes. My worst incident was getting my ATC stuck.

I got out of it with a little help from th local constable.

[Rich1028]

Thanks!

I go in Friday for Surgery on my collarbone.

[Mech]

Sorry man but I had to laugh..   I know the feeling  "oh I stuffed up..  I'm f***ed !"..

The gasping too..  I know it well..  And that walking around in circles following the pain, hopeing that if you move towards it it will somehow stop dragging at your ribs..  haha..

Hope you get better soon.

Sorry to see that, it was a bad one, I don't see how you turned it back over with 3 broken ribs and colllorbone and punctured lung, the way it went over you lucky you didn't break your neck.  

[Rich1028]

It was 5 broken Ribs, But after 3, who's counting.

Yes, it could of been worse .

here is A Update on how I am doing

 

[Gwbarm]

Looks like you doing great! Just be careful until you are all healed up, don't want to end up back in the hospital.

[George Henry]

Well, you look much better. Take things slowly.

By the way, how is your Honda?

[Rich1028]

Thanks George Henry  &     Gwbarm

Honda is ok, just needs new Tie Rods

 

[Mech]

Yeah..  be safe.. and don't do those silly things..

I normally tell my sons, "have fun. but don't get caught". I'll have to change it to "have fun. but don't get hurt"..

[Rich1028]

I have been riding since 1991, and this is the worst Crash! 

I Agree "have fun. but don't get hurt"..

So, how many crashes have you had? I think you've had enough.

That's wild, glad you are still alive!

[IgotAmagnum]

Absolutely terrified watching that! I thought when you sat down next to your quad you were going to pass out and we would be watching "found footage".

 

I used to live in downriver Michigan, it was always awsome heading up to the Brighton rec area. But they closed them years back.

Hope you are doing well!

[Rich1028]

Thank You All !

I waited A Year to Get Back to Riding.

Been Taking it Easy.

I Also got a Body Protector.

it is Very Comfortable when Riding.

I Should of Got this Years Ago.
