[QUOTE="SurvivorGuy, post: 1444049, member: 97829"] Yo Toecutter: I find your words and post very indicative in regards to the day of my epic accident. In an attempt to dodge some gravel on a sweeper, I went off the road, when I reengaged the road again it was like hitting a ramp. I vividly recall looking down at the guard railing as I was catapulted over the road to then be looking down at the tops of trees as I was flying off a 70'plus cliff. I remember thinking how bummed I was that I was seeing the last day of my life. The next thing I recall was regaining consciousness face down in the water. Some trees slowed me down and I ricocheted into a creek. Due to the spinal cord injury, I could not get out of the creek I was broken in half face down in, so I would lift my head/helmet out of the water grab a breath of air and rest my head back in the water. I repeated this action countless times before I was rescued.. I could still breathe, I kept fighting and I didn't give up..Today I live to tell the tale. [/QUOTE]
