truck and a rescue vehicle out for that one, while heading
out on a Sunday outing. The other had a suspected spinal
trauma, but he got lucky. About a year ago, a dental student
in his final year got a horrible injury to his brachial
nerve in his arm, due to blindsiding a tree, and it had to
be amputated. Tsk! Tsk! The wetland group meeting last night
was hopeful. With regards to Mountain View Park, "it ain't
over until the Fat Lady sings". You made my day with this

XC riders in full boddy armor? Were they riding super light bikes that spell out HUFFY down the side?

more people die or are injured from accidents that occur
in the home.

therefore, we should focus all energies on banning homes for
the safety of everybody.

Funny stuff? I can only come to one of two conclusions
regarding this post...

1)That MV thinks anyone who wears protective gear, yet still
can get injured, is silly. This group would also include:

All cyclists (both off and on road) Equestrians
Motorcyclists (both off and on road) Firefighters
Construction workers Downhill ski racers Skate boarders
Hockey players Football players Baseball players at bat
Police and Military wearing body armor Mountain climbers
Kayakers And so on.

I suppose it's possible that all of the above are "silly,"
but more then likely..

2)"Silly" is just an excuse for Mike to revel in human pain.

We should focus our efforts on mandatory padding in all
homes, I know some people here can attest to the benefits of
living in a padded room.

Um, didn't you post that butchered poem?

Is this one of Mikey's voices talking to another?

DUH! . .How do we know that it's any better than a normal
national park type .scenario, which is a a few paths criss
crossing a vast area of land?

Because we are still losing species from national parks.

I saw a woman fall off a horse and hurt her back. I also
read about a hikers that were killed by bee stings, a
mountain lion, a bear and fall off a cliff. Oh and don't
forget about all the pedestrians in Oakland that are injured
and killed by cars (more than San Francisco!). All this is
to show how stupid your post is, but then Vandeman spells
stupid. I don't usually call people names but I notice you
do it constantly and must like it. I'm sure if I go down
this post I'll find some more of your stupid psuedo science
and the thing is you don't even realize it!
