Just back from another rescue at Lucille. Broken arm above the elbow and a number of broken ribs and possible internal injury above the hip. Please be careful out there, watch where you park. This fellow got hit by a ghost rider sled, pinned him at a high rate of speed against his own sled.

well glad to hear everyone is ok. Always wacth for the line of fire and if your in the path of a sled coming down a hill chances are you area also in the line of fire for a slide. Remember your avy training and be aware. If we don't the government will make us get safe "riding" pemits and fill out FLRAs. lmfao!!!!!
Glad everyone is ok though

Unfortunatly for him it was his wife's sled. Keeping it in the family. He was airlifted to Valmount and then went to P.G.

It's been a busy year for you guys and gals, i'm glad to hear that he is ok. The sledders that ride in Mcbride are extremely lucky to have a dedicated group of individuals to look out for them should anything go wrong. Keep up the great work! Hopefully its quieter for rest of sled season!

I hope there are no serious internal injuries....
