I have said it too many times - never say one more run it is totally jiinxed.  Heal fast Merrick. 
Lesson 101..
Skate within your limits..
If you read it it didn't say he was bombing some 150k hill in outerspace. It says he was hitting the same run he'd already done twice and forgot that in canada you drive on the right. 

fixed it for you bro

its a direct quote from when I had my crash. I like him, had done the run before but unlike Merrick I was in my lane.

 

I feel for him and crashes suck.

 

I'm just ribbing.

Tibia-Fibula fractures....so hot right now!

 

Get well Merrick. Hope your recovery time estimate is a hell of a lot shorter than mine.

hahaha alll good sorry to come off harsh man. I just thought you were some random having a go at a guy in hospital with compound fractures.
ahahaha peace bro

Another fallen soldier.. Heal fast mate, hope you make a full recovery and dont get too bogged down with the  cant skate blues.
A compound fracture is one which the bone pierces the skin- I'm guessing by the nature of his post he did not have compound fractureS....cause that would be completely fucked.

Vincent, I think he did. He was travelling at 60kmph at least. The SUV tank would have been doing 50kmph. They collided. A lot of damage is going to happen. If they are putting in pins and rods in multiple operations I would say it is compound.

 

For all the kids/adults that dont wear helmets out there, here is the lesson. Without a helmet Merrick would have been toast. He is sitting up in hospital giving us an account of his accident. The other skater this week that got hit by a car without a helmet is fighting for his life. Helmets save lives. Legs heal. Brains dont.

 

Amen! 

 

Heal up Merrick! You should still come to Europe and roll about in a wheel chair!
