Hopefully, he made it through with minor injuries and light damage. I have been down with minor injuries and light damage. Most have. For me, it was a learning experience. I spent weeks deconstructing what happened and what I needed to do to keep it from happening again. I think it made me a better rider and a better student of riding.

There is nothing like getting pitched on your ass to provide you with a healthy dose of respect for riding.
