Sometimes the simplest tasks can turn into disaster. Excellent advice to always have your phone handy and also let someone know where you are going to be. If you can only muster a few words like I need help or you're late coming home they can fill in the details of where you are. Glad you survived and hope you have a good recovery. I knew a guy that broke both femurs at the same time in his 60's practicing on an MX bike. He had bad arthritis and had trouble hanging on sometimes. Thankfully he never rides alone. Went on to win a few more championships albite a little slower. He was a 13 time world vet champion. (2nd most world vet championships) He lived for riding and was taken out by pancreatic cancer. Was riding a month before his passing. One of the toughest people I've ever known. Broke his leg in the US and drove all the way back to Canada to get it looked after.
