Throttle stick on shee and causes mayhem


Recommended Posts

Hey guys:

 

I entered my quad into a parade on Sunday... During the parade i was riding some stick wheelies and two wheeled circles and shit like that...

 

We were nearing the end of the parade when i put the quad into a wheelie again... when i went to set it down and took my thumb off the throttle it stuck....

 

I went onto the grab bar and since i was sitting i slipped back... i had no control and went into the crowd... I hit an old lady on a chair... the quad flew out from under me and landed in a yard i went flying and my body slammed a utility pole...

 

I was knocked cold and apprantly was talkin non sense to the paramedics... after i was rushed to the hospital and got checked out... I was released with Minor head injuries... and some soft tissue damage on my upper half...

 

I then found out that they impounded the quad... Article on my wreck ... They are investigating on the throttle issue... However its only done it one other time... So i dont kno wtf is gonna happen...

 

Overall im lookin at some legal charges, Wreckless endnagerment and some other B.S... And a possibility of me getting sued...

 

THIS SUCKS BALLS!!!!

Accidents happen.. If you had permission to be in the parade with your quad, and had permission to be doing wheelies, then in my eyes it's a simple mishap. A very dangerous one, but it was an accident. :shrugani: I do think though that whoever did give you permission (if you had it) to be riding like that when there is a big crowd around is a moron. So really, you prolly shouldnt have been out there doing it, but shit happens...

 

EDIT: Holy shit you made the news. :blink:

It was a really rough day with alot of critisim... I feel bad that i hurt the overall rep. of Riders as yourselves....

 

It sucks... I read the other board and i feel even worse...

 

Overall i figured id share this story because it happened to me and you guys have shared all of your stories...

 

It was a mistake, a mishap... The people were loving it until the time of the accident....

 

Overall people said we were the life of the parade until i wrecked... but shit happens...

 

It just got me really good....
