Obviously... we should all have a riding buddy BUT...if I had to reply on someone else just for me to have fun, then I would have quit riding years ago. That is my personal choice. I've been hauled out of the woods by buddies...and I've also been out there by myself when things went wrong.
Most recently Jan 2013. Unconscious for 2 hours, shattered collarbone (3rd time and required surgery), #2&3 ribs behind the heart broken, and a cracked femur ball joint. Pretty bad 'huh? Even more so...the crash happened on my own grass track. It could have been allot worse, and had it been...I was all alone.
Food for thought.
