Great read, UD! To put this in context, the years are passing me by, and I’ve made a conscious decision to step away from most higher consequence stuff, and….
I almost became one of the spinal cord stats anyway. Ripping along a well known, “dark green” trail, around a blind corner at high speed, and there was a fallen tree about a foot (xyz meters) above the trail.
Over the bar, headfirst into a pile of rocks. Broken helmet. No concussion, thank you Kask. Cut on side of face, eff you brand new frameless “shield” style glasses; Whiplash and torn upper back muscles that took 10 weeks to completely resolve. I felt really old and creaky for two months.
It doesn’t have to be Whistler or the North Shore. NW MT can also bite you when least expected!
