Had a freak accident and was trying to think of ways to prevent it from happening again.
A trail I normally ride on was blocked by a huge fallen tree. I was going around the tree and a vine grabbed my thumb throttle.
I took off like a rocket plowing through brush until I ran up a tree sideways and it flipped me.
Broke several ribs, banged up both legs and bruised me up pretty bad.
I understand if I was more careful this should not happen. BUT it did and I've been out of commission for close to a week. Highliter is unscathed.
I'm installing a lanyard kill switch and was curious if they make a bar that would block the throttle. Friend of mine installed a twist throttle on his but I don't like that idea.
Any ideas? Anyone else had this happen??
