Mountain biker on Guisborough Woods crash
http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/te...4229-28745302/
Mountain biker on Guisborough Woods crash by Mike Morgan, Evening Gazette May 23 2011 A MOUNTAIN biker has today told how his helmet saved his life after he hit a tree at speed in a horrific crash. Mark Preston, 41, of Coronation Street, Carlin How, is recovering at home after his serious crash at Guisborough Woods, above Hutton Village. He sustained a suspected badly broken nose, severe swelling and cuts to his face and whiplash to his neck. The crash happened at about 8pm on Tuesday when Mark was plummeting down a fast, downhill section with fellow members of Guisborough Mountain Bike Club. He said: “Fortunately, the helmet took a lot of the force of the crash and split in two at the front. “It probably saved my life, or saved me from more serious injury. I would like to stress the importance of always wearing a helmet which some young riders don’t always do.” He praised members of Cleveland Search and Rescue Team, who used a 4x4 vehicle to get him out of the woods to a waiting ambulance. He also thanked paramedics and staff at Middlesbrough’s James Cook University Hospital, who treated him. Single man Mark, a Tesco warehouseman at Teesport, said: “I’m a keen mountain biker and have been going to Hutton Woods for 25 years, with no bother at all – just a few little scrapes. “I always wear a helmet. We go out in a group on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Hutton village. “We all wear helmets and some wear knee and elbow pads too. “I was in the middle of the pack and going down a fast trail when I think my handlebar caught a tree near the bottom. “I came off and knocked myself out. Everybody stopped and gathered round me and there was blood all over the place. It took me a few minutes to come round. “The next thing I remember I was sitting up, but everyone was very concerned. The paramedics later checked my legs, which were covered in blood, but they were OK. “I’m off work for a few days while I recover. But it won’t put me off mountain biking. It’s just one of those things and the nature of the sport. “The CSR team and all the emergency services were very prompt and I’m also very grateful for the kindness of the hospital staff.” Mark’s bike came off better than he did. “It’s damaged with the brake levers bent, but it’s not too bad,” he said. “Now I’ll get a new helmet and when I’m better carry on, wearing that!” A total of 23 members of Cleveland Search and Rescue Team attended the call and the casualty was on his way to accident and emergency at James Cook just over an hour after the team was called. Barry Warrington, spokesman for the team, said: “This was a serious incident and the man was in considerable pain. “Fortunately, he was wearing a helmet which, although it was damaged in the accident, could have been much worse if he had not been wearing one.” |

Hey Mike, Tom Sherman and I have established a new tradition here on these newsgroups since you have been away. We change subject headings at will so as to increase the insult value. Always check the subject headings from now on and change them to suit yourself since they no longer have anything to do with the original post. They now have to do strictly with the message.

Frankly, I'm shocked, yes, shocked, that MV wasn't on the forefront of reporting this great news. Perhaps he did see this item, but for some strange reason, decided not to share it with the group. Since MV has stated that he's morally and ethically superior to any MTB rider, you'd think that he would be bound to report on all data on MTB injuries (since he does this almost constantly), regardless of if it was positive or negative. Hmm. Food for thought. |

One thing that I have little doubt about - this won't be MV's last
time in court, up on charges for attacking MTB riders. Look at how this expensive, degrading, and humiliating experience had ZERO effect on him. He'll return to his ways as soon as possible, with inevitable results. BTW, it's no wonder MV can't accept the 50 million MTB participants figure I quoted from the Outside article. It's a complete repudiation of his attempts to limit the expansion of MTB riding in the US. Why has he failed? Because MTB riding is a mainstream activity, the same as hiking, equestrian, and other trail use activities. Real trail users work together cooperatively so that all can enjoy the outdoors responsibly, with minimal impact to the environment on a day-to-day basis. That's a "truth" that MV will never accept - his loss, not ours. Adios until the next jury trial. |

It's a complete repudiation of his attempts to limit the expansion of MTB riding in the US. Outside Magazine is pure trash journalism. Only an idiot like Brad Anders would read it or give it any credence. They couldn't get a figure right if their life depended upon it. 50 million indeed! Why has he failed?

That's a "truth" that MV will never accept - his loss, not ours. Mountain biking is for ****heads and assholes and will never be mainstream. It is on the decline everywhere. Mr. Vandeman performs a real service to call our attention to all the injuries and deaths caused by one of the stupidest pastimes ever invented. Adios until the next jury trial. **** you too ...
