Sled Carnage Pics

[2g00d4u]

So we were riding sleds for the last time of the season, a good 25 people came out.

We were riding at a decent pace, my friend's dad was riding their arctic cat 1000, slowed down to fix his glove, pinned it to catch up to us, doing about 100mph, didn't see a big drift everyone was avoiding, got thrown in a corkscrew in the air, the heavy front dropped and caught the ground and it rolled front over back for about 200 meters. He broke 4 ribs, knocked out some teeth, bloody nose, concussion, and some other little things I didn't hear about.

We're going to part it out, try to get some of the $7000 spent back.

I don't know, but he landed hard. There was some air time involved.

Where did this happen? I saw a cat that looked exactly like that on hawk lake a few weekends ago right in front of my cottage. Didn't see it crash but saw it afterwords and it looked very similar.

DAMN! Wonder how a drift could get it spinning? Did his face hit the sled? OUCH!

 

[Paulie B]

OUCH! I hope he has a speedy recovery...

i bet that sled could do more than 100 my 440, 550, and 570 all do about 80mph

@musselman: It wasn't that long ago, but I guess they're too powerful for the riders then

@slickerthanyou: no he was flung off it when it first hit the ground and he was thrown about 100 meters. I just heard what sounded like bombs going off behind me (heard it over my sled) and some parts flew across the trail in a cloud of snow.

@Paulie B: Thanks, hes doing alright now, just pissed about the loss

@0_o: Thanks, it was my friends' dad, but no, it will go a lot faster, the speedo was around 100mph when he hit the drift.

@88' Blaster: Thanks, and that sucks, I've never seen it happen, but if the motor blows out hard enough it will burn itself to the ground.

I hear that. I've had little accidents, but that's a warning to be careful.
