![]() ![]() ![]() here is her myspace account I was looking at her pictures and what not http://www.myspace.com/brit2morrow Thats' her message : Tursday, November 24, 2005 What it's like to almost die... Current mood: content Well, if you really wanna know what it's like, I mean REALLY, I can describe the pain, the thoughts, the emotions, what its like to smell a pool of your own blood... but you'll have to ask me personally, because I won't write my memories of the accident in a blog. I want to say thank you to everyone who wrote me or called or even stopped by the hospital. I truly believe it helped me recover faster, and it is the reason I am home now and almost normal again (with all my clothes on). For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, I was in a motorcycle "accident" on September 25th. I say "accident" because it wasn't a crash at all, more of a bad dream come true. Here's the jist of it: I was a passenger on my friend Sean's GXSR 750, we were going WAY fast on highway 550 (that means about 120mph), and my helmet visor flipped open, making me instantly un-aerodynamic, and ripping me off the back of the bike. I tumbled 522 feet down the highway and slid to a stop across the yellow lines at mile marker 8. The guy riding behind us said I looked like a bag of trash rollin' down the highway, and he had to swerve to avoid hitting me. I ended up on my stomach, with my right arm pinned underneath me and my left arm extended out onto the road. My clothes were shredded, my helmet was fucked, and my shoes were gone... they had all been claimed by the cement. My injuries included, but were not limited to, 50 percent body coverage of third degree "pavement" burns , which we lovingly call "road rash." To get an idea of what this means, some of my bones, tendons, and even internal organs were exposed in several places, and chunks of muscle and skin were completly missing. I lost half of my left breast (which I still am sad about). I also dislocated my right big toe and severed all the tendons in my left pinky finger. However, I didn't break any bones whatsoever. This is probably because I let myself go limp, as I just wanted to die while I tumbled on the cement. The ambulance arrived 45 minutes later because we were out in the middle of nowhere (Indian Reservation!). Once the Paramedics realized the extent of my injuries, they called the helicopter out and flew me to UNMH, where I stayed until just yesterday. So, after 8 surguries and 2 long months in the hospital, I am happy to report that I am home and alright. But, I did have to learn to walk again, and my scars will never go away, and many scars I do have. As of now, I look pretty gross under my clothes, but my pretty face survived. Of course, I do not regret getting on the bike because you never know when something like that could happen. It was a Sunday drive, and I was sober when I chose to ride. Nothing could have changed what happened or even warned me about the problem with my helmet. I only hope that poor Sean has stopped blaming himself and that he comes with me to Vegas for my birthday. It's amazing what you can learn about a person if you simply fall off their motorcycle. So, to wrap up this little novel of mine, this is what I am thankful for today: 1. That God didn't listen to me that day when I asked him to let me die. 2. That I am recovering and will eventually walk again on my own. 3. That my helmet held up long enough to save my face because I am still gorgeous! 4. And of course, to have so much love and support in my life from all my friends and family. Happy Thanksgiving! |

La première chose qu'elle dit c'est : First of all, no one DESERVES to fall off a bike that fast, no matter how new they are to riding, stupid they are being on the bike, or whatever mistakes they are making at the time. What every fellow rider DESERVES is respect from you, from me, and from the rest of the sportbike world. I ask for nothing more than respect, it's not a huge request.
Apprendre de ses erreurs ... un peu rude comme leçon dans son cas ! Elle est effecitvement courageuse parce que moi je capoterais ! Ça cicatrise très mal des brulures comme ça.

moi ce que j'essaie de comprendre c'est comment une visiere qui s'ouvre a cause du vent peut te faire basculer a ce point sur une moto!

J'allais dire après avoir lu le premier post qu'elle semblait pas avoir réalisé qu'avoir porté du cuir elle n'aurait probablement rien, mais en lisant son autre post dans son blog elle semble l'avoir finalement compris.

Je vois cette histoire simplement comme un gros manque d'expérience de sa part, mais c'est pas nécessairement de sa faute. Lorsque j'ai une/un backseat je juge leur expérience avant de rouler 120 mph. Je roulerais jamais cette vitesse avec ma copine pcq les chance sont que je la perdrait aussi de la même manière. Si elle était habitué et expérimenté sur une moto ça lui aurait jamais arrivé, elle a du lever le tête ou se tourner la tête pour que sa visière ouvre ainsi et en plus elle se tenait pas fort fort ... |
