Cameron went down...

[01YZF6]

Just fyi to anyone, my son Cameron went down yesterday. We were in Maryville, TN by the dragons Pitt BBQ.

Short version:

Slow left hand corner, 30-35 mph, late apex turn in, caught the peg and lowsided.

Bike and son slammed steel guardrail.

He was airlifted to UT Knoxville.

Broken femur, lacerated spleen, displaced hip, L2&3 fractured vertebrae. Bruised all over back arms and legs.

Surgery was yesterday for leg. Rest is monitoring for healing on its own.

Only rash is at knee where the suit seams split and impacted.

Wear your gear! It will save your life!

No head trauma suffered either!

Sorry to hear this.  Let us know if you need anything!

Sorry to hear that. I always roll thru Maryville relatively care free. Sad reminder to always be careful no matter the environment. Hope for a speedy recovery.

Praying for you and your son.  If you need help getting the bike or anything back home just say the word.

[Mulley]

Man, that's bad. You are correct, it could've been a lot worse without proper gear. I hope he recovers fast and well.

Is there anything we can do to help?
I assume you are still in Knoxville.
Tell Cameron we are praying for him.
