Four days ago my nephew (sister's son) took a spill and bonked his head hard on the pavement. He's still in ICU recovering from a fractured skull, minor brain sewlling and lots of road rash. I truly believe with ATGATT he would be home leading a normal life. Being a die hard Harley dude (no bashing intended), he was wearing jeans, t-shirt, and a novelty beanie. He was returning home from a bike night where beer was likely consumed. He doesn't even remember being in an accident and those riding with him don't know what happened. One second he was riding along just fine, and next thing they saw was him sliding down the road. He had his hot little girlfriend on the back also dressed in the same fashion. She suffered road rash over one entire side of her face, shoulder, arms, etc.
I thought about posting this in the Prayer List sub-forum, but it looks like prayers have already helped and now he just needs time to heal. I want to offer to buy him good gear but doubt he would wear it and he might even take my offer wrong. Any suggestions? He's a head strong 32 year old that still thinks he's indestructable.
I guess the intent of this post is to offer a reminder of what can happen without proper gear, and also to vent frustration that a family member is suffering. Thanks
