Default Well It happend

Was riding at a local park two sundays ago, and was thrown off the quad. I felt it going so I tryed to get out of the way of the rolling atv, the only place to run was off a 3 foot "cliff" so i jumped, landed at the bottom and the first thing to hit was my left knee on a boulder. Dislocated my knee, shatterd my knee cap, had surgry tuesday and have 22 staples in my knee. The Dr. said my knee cap, well the pieces were actully flipped upside down in my knee, and refered to it as a gernade going off in my knee. But the best part, the fourwheeler followed off the cliff landed on the tires after one complete turn still runing. Thats the quaulity of a Polairs

Got to love the Polaris frame. Wish we were as durable. I was fortunate that a tree caught my X2 when it rolled and threw me down a hill. Still, $400 of plastic damage. No, more severe off camber downhill corners for me... Hope your knees heal up well. I damaged both of mine and they are about 75% but stopped there.
