ATV Florida Forum

I only have some of the info so maybe others on here and further explain. This is a reminder why is it important to ride with at least one other person and to remember to keep an eye to be sure that person is still following you.

Saturday Night (before sundown) A rider was separated from his friend and wrecked his dirt bike breaking his leg, I believe this happened at around 5:30 6:00 after a few people went looking for him the Ranger was advised of the missing rider. as the sun set and it got dark a few groups of people went out looking for the lost rider to no avail. At around 9:00 the helicopter was out using infrared to try to find the lost rider but that also did no good. He was found the next morning at i believe 7:00 7:30 i believe with no shirt only a chest protector and a broken leg. I don't know about the other members of this site but i wouldn't want to spend the night out on the edge of a trail all night with the temps in the 40's just a reminder to be safe and ride in groups.

thats horrible. Hopefully the guy is alright.

i hope hez alright

Hopes hes alright.  All night in the darkness, especially at Croom would freak me out.  used to streetlights :-\

I really hope he is alright, I mean that pretty tough. All night with a broken leg. ???

that sucks, but at least the boogie man didnt get him

I ride out there somtimes by myself as well. When I ride out there by myself, I always make sure to carry a cell phone just in case. I can get cell service anywhere in Croom and hopefully I will not have to use it for such a reason. That would definitely freak me out.
