P1000 Bad Night and a Concussion but we walked away!

[Hometeam]

A buddy of mine was driving me around his pond and it turned into this!( I was thrown from it an unconscious and unresponsive for around 10 min. It was a Bad deal!!!
Not sure of next step yet....I'm moving slow and suppose to take it easy for bit. I have an appointment at my dealer but it's 2 weeks away!

Wow!! Glad to hear you are Ok! What did you hit?

 

[chadbo]

Aw crap that sux...

 

[joeymt33]

I see what appears to be some fluid leak under the front. Not good man. Did the lower ball joint break and cause a crash or did break during the crash?

I am hoping for it to be totaled but not sure if it will....the a-arm mounts are ripped off the frame! Not sure if the frame is bent or not.

He was coming around the pond and dropped the hammer got going over 40mph and he lost control on the grass slamming into a tree. It spun us the opposite direction and spit me out hard according to him and my boy who was watching. My wife heard the noise and came running over to find me on the ground out and my buddy hanging out the door out to. Went in the ambulance and he went to the doc the next day with a fractured rib. My knee is pretty beat up too! I don't remember any of the wreck!

Everything broke on impact. I think the fluid was the break line that was ripped off, but I haven't felt like tearing into yet. Can't stand up without getting dizzy yet. My head hit the role bar/grab handle.

Wow that is some serious damage! Glad y'all are okay. It may be dorky but I put my seatbelt on every time I hit the trails. Cause these things are capable of some serious speed (like you don't already know that huh?) Lol. Take it easy for a while. Getting dizzy is a warning sign.

Yeah it was a family pond and wennie rost night. I usually put my belt on too but we were just going 2 football fields in length away so didn't think it was gonna get crazy! Lesson learned!!

 

[Eltobgi]

We can't be trusted with this much power and performance in one package! I would like to see a security/safety feature in future Honda sxs's that would require the seat belt to be used. My buddies Highlifter Ranger has this feature.

WOW!! That looks like a hard hit man. I glad to here no serious injuries. Could have been way worse. Goes to show you never know when something like this will happen. They put seatbelt a in these things for a reason. I don't wear mine as much as I should. But I'm trying to get better at it!! Saw some friends of mine on a ride hit a tree with a ranger 800. Drive and pass. In the middle had seatbelt a bit one on right side did not. She just missed the cage and was ejected. Broken ankle and cracked rib is all she got. Very lucky too. Hope all ends well and your back on the trails soon! Again glad to hear no serious injuries!!!!!

People would just buckle the belt and sit on top of it lol. VW had the right idea way back in 74 when they had a weight monitor underneath the seat. It could be disabled too but it took alot more thought/work.

Dang son! I'm glad y'all are ok.

 

[Delton]

I've been considering installing a 5 point in mine. I think this thread just pushed me off the fence lol. There are sections of the trail I ride where you can exceed 30mph easily. And it only takes one rock or log or critter to turn everything south.

 

[cwalton]

Hope you get to feeling better soon. The good news is you are ok!

 

[solrus]

Good that you are alive and will be able to fully recover ( I hope no hematoma or intracranial bleed and God forbids not to wear seat belt and have head trauma for those who on anti coagulation for multiple reasons).
But I did not see you have mentioned wearing seat-belt in your post? Anything above 20 mph should prompt you to do so next time.

I think this is good example to remind about wearing seat belts and if you do crazy driving/jumping then install 5 point, and obviously helmet , especially for those who is on blood thinners.

I just see often ATV/SxS accidents , stupidity of the operator (high speed/no helmet) and drama for all family to have their beloved ones with irreversible brain injury from head bleeding because no helmet was worn.
It also relates to all "old farts" on full dose of aspirin or warfarin who drive atv/sxs faster then 10 mph.


Everyone safe driving !

P.S. I've open face helmet for trail riding on P500, but if anyone still concerned about bulkiness of full or open face helmet, then just get downhill ski or white water rafting or cycle helmet

Dude...
Most importantly, I'm glad you are ok with only minor injuries. Don't want to think about the worst, but you can't but help it. The WHAT IF we all need to think about and wear our seat belts and helmets.
With the frame being ripped it should push it into totaled if you have insurance to cover.
I only carry theft and fire. I will be adding full here shortly.
Well, I wish you a fast recovery. God bless.

as a physician I am glad you seem to be doing well. I want to caution you to keep good follow up with your doctor so he/she can monitor your concussion closely and help you get back to full activity. You don't want lasting effects from this.

This is a good place to get some info. I am a pediatrician so my info is kid related, but most converts to adults as well
