Boy hospitalised after mountain bike accident

9:45am Thursday 15th April 2010

AN 11-year-old boy was rushed to hospital after an accident at the Out
to Grass Mountain Board Centre in Cradley yesterday (Wednesday).

The incident happened at about 3.10pm and an ambulance and the
Midlands Air Ambulance from Strensham attended the centre at Bromyard
Road.

An ambulance service spokesman said: “On arrival at the scene, crews
found a boy, believed to be 11 years old, who had been injured after
falling from his mountain bike.

“The boy had suffered significant facial injuries in the accident and
had been unconscious for a short period. He was treated at the scene
by ambulance crews and immobilised using a spinal board and neck
collar.

“The boy was transferred by land ambulance to Worcester Royal Hospital
for further assessment and treatment.

“Fortunately, the boy was wearing an appropriate cycle safety helmet
at the time of the fall which saved him from suffering more serious
injuries.”

It is hard enough to ride a bicycle on a hard surface road. To subject
children to mountain biking is a crime. The parents should be taken to
court and given stiff prison sentences - either that or a good
horsewhipping.
