Mountain Biker Hit His Head on a Rock
http://www.courant.com/news/local/ec...,1357963.story
Mountain Biker Rescued September 20, 2008 MANCHESTER — - Rescuers from Manchester and Glastonbury rescued a mountain biker who was thrown from his bike and injured while riding on Case Mountain. The injured man, identified only as a 37-year-old from Berlin, was riding with a friend when his bike struck an obstacle. He was thrown over the handlebars, and his head struck a large rock. His friend told rescuers that the man suffered a momentary loss of consciousness. Rescuers from the Glastonbury Fire Department, Manchester Fire-Rescue-EMS and local volunteers mobilized after being notified about 10 a.m. A paramedic reached the cyclist, who was wearing a helmet, about 11 a.m. Rescuers carried him to an ambulance by noon. It took about 20 minutes to carry him to a point where he could be loaded onto the vehicle, and then another 26 minutes for that vehicle to get out of the woods, Manchester Fire Chief Robert Bycholski said. -- I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8 years fighting auto dependence and road construction.) Please don't put a cell phone next to any part of your body that you are fond of! http://home.pacbell.net/mjvande |
