[QUOTE="Willie, post: 936208, member: 19038"] Nik As I have heard, taking a fall is not a matter of IF, but a matter of WHEN. I always pafooed (sp?) such a saying until that day in Clyde Park MT. We escaped relatively intact very much like you. Your statement that your friends said you should be in a fetal position if you go down and your response about I had no idea where my limbs were, ring so true. Things happen so fast one can't possibly think of what one should be doing. It is great that the only real damage was some fairing scraps and a cut finger. Glad, you were not faster than the angels following you that day. I have mentioned it before and will mention it again, I am in awe of your photos. The colors, the composition, the subject material are FANATASTIC. You really capture the moments. I think you mentioned you had a Panasonic DMC5, which I own as well and don't come close to your pics. Guess it is not the tool. Thanks for the great read and the pics of the gear doing what they are suppose to WHEN that time comes. An important reminder to all of us. Willie [/QUOTE]
