Two winters ago I was crossing the top rim of a gravel pit at night with my sled and didnt see the 13 foot deep washout. No broken bones and only $200.00 in damage to the machine so I was lucky.

We were coming back from a fourwheeler trip one day in the summer and I decided to race one of my uncles to the house. I went a little bit too fast and couldn't turn into the driveway, so I drove right into the ditch and hit a tree. Nothing major happened, thankfully. I only walked out with a stiff shoulder and a huge scratch on my chest.
This could have been easily avoided by passing my driveway and slowing down. But hey, I was thirteen. Accidents happen.
My buddy was on the way home his girlfriends one afternoon and hit a culvert with his left tire at 45mph.He flew over the handlebars and the machine was doing cartwheels behind him!He walked away from that wreck but the blaster was never the same bent frame broken a-arm and bent handlebars.

He's lucky to have walked away from that accident alright. A totalled bike can be fixed or replaced, but a bone or anything like that can't be. Must've been quite a scare for him, I know that after my first and only accident I haven't been quite the same with riding fourwheelers.
Wrecks.....
