Thats friggen disgusting that somebody actually has the intention to hurt someone or worse like that would be nice if they caught the basturd and charged them with attempted murder

 

[sunshinesmiles]

Agreed !!!!!! I have a Quadding and Sledding page on FB so always hunting for stuff to post. Couldn't believe this when I saw it. People make me sick and yes if found should be charged with attempted murder I agree !!!

I hope this didn't happen on private property. That's a problem around my neck of the woods. Cutting fences gives snowmobilers a bad wrap.

Edit.... Just noticed the river part. Definitely not private property, and absolutely disgusting. I take it back.

Dont think a river is private property.

Jesus. You're right. Didn't even pay attention to that part. I take it all back.

Farmers water their cows on the small rivers and run a wire across quite often to keep the cows from swapping quarters. Not usually to snag a sledder as they do it in the summer not thinking. So always take the first trip down the river cautiously.

I have been taken off my sled by a 1/4" cable across a river near eckville at night years back. Thankfully it wasn't barbed wire but it was defineatly a trap. Found out who did it and Revenge WAS served cold to the prick.

Thing is about a layin a trap, ya can't control what you catch. Read a news story a few years ago about a guy in Manitoba that was nearly decapitated by a cable strung out across a trail frequently used by sledders. It turns out to be his brother had set the trap to stop riders from using the trail. The sledder had just bought a new sled and was making a trip over to visit his brother and show off and was nearly killed. I bet that was a quiet Christmas family dinner...

Snowmobile victims identified - BC News - Castanet.net

This a natural trap. Not an intential one, but puts a reminder why we should not throw caution into the wind.

 

[sunshinesmiles]

Be safe out there sledders...............guess one never knows where the next a-hole lies !!!

 

[Kibbels]

Yes ... Unfortunately people do this. I know of a friend 26 years ago this happened on the Bindman River... And yes he was cut and injured bad. Sad but true...

 

[sunshinesmiles]

I wanted to post to put the awareness out there. So sorry to hear some have or know someone who's been a victim if this BS !!! Awareness I guess is the key here !!

Had this happen to me years ago out south of Barrhead. Durning the day me and a buddy went down a well used trail along the river all was good. That night we used it again I come around the corner and bam into wire stretched across the trail. But luckily it was more of a net then a single wire. And this was done on a road allowance.
