This thread and Freeper sdpatriot was so awesome and sent me this link from the Iron Dog: http://www.irondog.org/palin-snowmachine-crash/
An Excerpt: Anchorage, Alaska (AK). Iron Dog has been informed that Todd Palin was involved in a recreational snowmachining crash over the weekend and suffered some serious injuries. The extent of the injuries has not been publicly released, but word is that Todd is in stable, but serious condition and scheduled for surgery at a local area hospital.
Todd is a four-time champion Iron Dog racer with a long history of strong finishes in the longest, toughest snowmobile race. Regardless of your skill level or victories in racing, this incident demonstrates that accidents can happen to even the most skilled riders. All riders should be prepared for the worst and always ride with a partner, wear protective gear and a helmet.
My Heart is in pieces over this. Sarah put on a brave face, but I Hate Hospitals and know nothing good Ever comes from being in one. >:'(
Continuing Praying
I hope and pray that he has a speedy and complete recovery! He has so much to live for!
I suspect after six hours of surgery, Tod was darn lucky to be in a hospital. Something good does come from being in hospitals.
“...............but I Hate Hospitals and know nothing good Ever comes from being in one. >:’(”
Hmmmmm In 1976 my life was saved in a hospital. I think that was a good thing as two years later I married the most lovely lady on Earth.
Prayers up.
Ping to the Todd Palin is a Tough Hunk! ping list.
KC, I gotta disagree with you about hospitals. I went three times to hospitals and came home with three wonderful blessings. If I hadn’t gone the first time, I would have died and the blessing, aka Lion’s Daughter, would have also.
Modern snowmobiles have evolved a lot from the ones we had 40 or 50 years ago. They are a whole lot faster and more powerful. I know Todd is extremely skilled but speed and power even in competent hands can still be very dangerous. My wife and I pray for his quick recovery.
This is awful.
Prayers up for Todd, Sarah, and her entire family, in Jesus Name.
Poor Sarah. She must be beside herself. Todd’s injuries are very serious.
Thank goodness for her family.
