Title: Prayers needed for fellow ATVer
Post by: Young Gun on September 30, 2007, 07:58:32 PM
I just got a call from a friend tonight that another friend of mine, Josh, is in the hospital.  They were shooting video for the Judgment Day 5 DVD and I guess it went wrong.  They were out on an abandoned road, and I guess they all pulled wheelies in a line.  Josh lost it, and the bike landed on top of his left leg -- literally snapping it in half.  They called the paramedics and they said he needed to be airlifted asap.  They had to shutdown 19 and land a helicopter and away he went.  I guess he is just getting into a hospital now.  I'm waiting to hear whats goin on cause judging by the paramedics it doesnt look good.

I hope he's OK. It is common procedure to be airlifted if you break your feemer. A main artery runs a long side of it. They airlift you because you can bleed to death in minutes if it gets cut.

  I can relate to the fast response to be hospitalized. It does not feel good to get hurt and be waiting for relief.

  I hope he heals fast!!

Hope he's OK, prayers & surgeons can work miracles.

How old is Josh ?
IMO, the younger the better, I think the body heals quicker/better when your young.
He will be OK.
Keep us posted.
