Default My nephews crash that fractured his arms, and more.
The following is from my Nephew back in Philadelphia.


"hey glenn,
thought you'd get a kick out of these. left elbow fractured, and right wrist probably broken, mri needs to be done still. left shoulder sprained, and a whole assortment of other "minor" injuries. could have been much worse though..."

update! He got the MRI results, he broke 2 bones in his right wrist, plus the broken left arm.....he started driving 2 days ago......

Maybe you dont need to remind your nephew to weight the back and never, ever, never use one's face as a means to stopping forward motion.

Somebody get that guy a helmet...and some ice.
Luckily he didn't hurt his squash, lesson learned I'm sure. Hopefully, everything will heal well.

What a dumb move... -_-

I'm nervous riding down my driveway without a FF helmet on

Furthermore why was he trying to hit a gigantic double on a XC bike, while clipped in?

Glad to hear he only had some rather minor injuries as opposed to becoming an organ donor. Hope he knows how lucky he is!
