Wow!  From news.com.au Crash biker drags himself for two days December 19, 2007 05:13pm A 38-year-old motorcyclist with a broken pelvis dragged himself an agonising 1km along a bush track in search of help in a two day ordeal following an accident in Brisbane's west. The man, from the Ipswich suburb of Chuwar, had been trailbike riding on four-wheel drive tracks in a forest about 25 km north of Gatton when he hit a tree on Monday, said RACQ CareFlight crewman Garry Isakiewicz. Despite a broken pelvis and possible internal bleeding he survived for two days until two other trailbike riders found him dehydrated and lying in a ditch shortly after 9am (AEST) today. "He said he hit a tree on Monday at lunchtime and said he crawled about a kilometre along a track,'' Mr Isakiewicz said. "He had a broken pelvis and maybe some internal injuries but all his signs and symptoms like his blood pressure were quite good,'' he said. "He was conscious and said he wasn't knocked out during his ordeal.'' The rider has been airlifted to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane in a stable condition. A spokesman for the Queensland Ambulance Service said the man had survived the ordeal due to his physical fitness and a bottle of water. | ||

That's nothing. Tim Nedveds from California summited Everest this year with a broken hand. My buddy fell 20 feet from a tree stand, broke his back and crawled for 32 hours, through the woods before his sister found him. Aussies need to stick to boxing Kangaroos | ||

You do what you have to, when you have to, the survival instinct is the strongest & will override other small considerations, like being mashed up! | ||
