ANOTHER Mountain Biker Breaks His Leg
http://www.newstimes.com/news/articl...er-1449127.php
Injured mountain biker rescued in Bridgewater Dirk Perrefort, Staff Writer Updated 03:12 p.m., Friday, July 1, 2011 BRIDGEWATER -- A mountain biker in the Sunny Valley Preserve who emergency officials say broke his leg was transported by ambulance late Thursday to Danbury Hospital. Bridgewater Volunteer Fire Department Chief A.J. Murphy said it took crews more than an hour to reach the mountain biker -- a man in his mid-30s -- due to his location on the Silica Mine Trail. The man's injuries were not life-threatening, Muprhy said, and emergency officials were in contact via cell phone with other members of the mountain bikers group. The fire chief added that instead of bringing the man an hour back up the trail to a waiting ambulance, officials decided to carry him to Lake Lillinoah -- about a quarter-mile away -- and transport him by boat to the state launch off Route 133, where a Brookfield ambulance was waiting. Murphy said the incident illustrates the need for mountain bikers, hikers and others using the woods to bring a cell phone or some other communication device with them in case of an emergency. The fire chief also said it's important to tell someone where you are going and when you are expected to return. While Murphy declined to comment on the mountain biker's medical condition for privacy reasons, an area dispatcher said the victim fell and broke his leg.
