Guess he’ll miss participating in the next X Games.
That was an uncomfortable read.
I’ll be advising against carbon frames from here on out.
“What happened? Apparently a hairline fissure around the carbon bike fork failed, and the fork bent and locked up the front wheel without warning. (Yes, I know I should inspect the bike thoroughly each time I get on, but the crack was invisible.)”
Thank goodness he is okay. It really does give you an appreciation for the times we live in - at least medically. If you had taken a tumble like that off a horse in 1652, your life would be altered to a monstrous degree (if you had even survived). Reminds me of the scene in “There Will Be Blood” where he breaks his leg down in a hole in the middle of west Texas. I mean, the bleak ghaastly feeling you would have knowing nobody is around for miles of sheer emptiness. It’s a wonder we humans survived our most primitive years.
Next time, think I'll walk. No sudden stops at 15-20mph. Walking appears to be probably the safest exercise, least hard on your body. The Bay Area is a Heavenly Paradise for walkers with mucho trails, wonderful weather, and gorgeous views. Too bad all that good stuff is under such oppressive Leftist rule.
We need more clear-thinking people like this out of the ivory-tower think tanks and on the ground fighting the Leftist coup d'état.
Property rights are the basis of a free society. VDH knows this - most Americans are oblivious. When they only exist on paper and not reality (because they soon won't exist on paper either) America is no better than Venezuela or the Congo.
Carbon - what your new airliners are made of....
Did he slide forward and now has a higher pitch voice.....?
To anyone who goes to the link, check out the “Angry Reader” letters and his responses. They have a “napalm in the morning” feel; shallow idiots should not match wits with a thinker.
If I had injuries like what he described there’s no way I could think clearly enough to write. Get well soon, Buddy.
A great man with a tough accident. Get well soon.
I love Hanson, but when he came out for Amnesty a couple of months ago, I was NOT HAPPY.
I also think it’s stupid for adults to ride bicycles...but it is their right. Eventually they will get clocked, although this one was weird.
