Have you been injured riding a quad?
I have had a few mishaps over the years. I flipped my lakota in 1999 unloading it from the truck. ( I never ride it off the truck anymore unless i am parked in a bar ditch. I also try not to ride it up the ramp to load it either)
I gashed my leg open in 2001(raptor) when i got crossed up in the whoops and run over my foot. ( I toughed that one out should have gotten it sewed up)
I have had a few dismounts in the dunes but nothing big
My son has crashed a few times and got back on the quad with out a trip to the doctor.
My wife is the only one that made the trip to the doctor. (cut her finger open on some part of the handlebar/front basket of her quad) She always wears gloves now.
So do they know you by name at the ER or Doctors office?

Well the last crash that I remember was at your land..nothing serious.. actually pretty funny[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].
I did case out a step-up on my 'shee and got bucked over...that was funny too. I crashed ALOT when I was younger though. Bit through my bottom lip, burned leg at least 10 times from off camber hills on a quad w/ no suspension ('86 lt50), scraped leg from gettin caught up in rear tire. Haven't ever been SERIOUSLY hurt on a quad yet, hope not too (knock on wood).

Hmm me crash? NEVER .................... ok maybe a few times. I'll list them by location lol
MX Track #1: cased double, fell off, got run over by my own quad and then someone else ran over my arm. Just a few bruises
MX Track #2: took large jump at too high of speed, big air+crappy suspension= compressed spine. I continued the race but could barely move for about 3 days afterwards.
Kermit dunes: rode off a 15-20 foot ledge. large deep bruise on my leg from where it bent the throttle to a 90 degree angle, bent the handlebars with my stomach which ended up looking like raw steak, scrape on my left leg from I have no clue, extremely sore for days.
Rocky Ridge: on their crappy drag strip I pulled a wheelie going into 4th gear, tire hit a rock or something and kicked the tire up, I came off the back at about 40-50 mph. raptor cartwheeled to a stop about 50-60 feet in front of me after I slid on my back for about 15 feet. lower 1/4 of my back had massive road rash and I had some more road rash on my forearms.
Those are my major ones [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
I'm waiting on Ernie's reply now lol

I broke 3 toes the first day I had my Raptor, learned very early on to respect the machine[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Outside of that just the normal scratchs, cuts, and bruises a person will get every now and then[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Ernie- You did not get hurt hitting the trailer house but your banshee suffered a terminal ilness and you did 1500 dollars damage to the trailer. 4000 dollar banshee & 1500 trailer damage= slight headache and bruses on ernie. The look on my face as ernie mumbled a word- PRICELESS
