It's from Sweden. Filmed for a couple of days ago. The guy that got caught by the track got third degree burns over 70% of his back and a broken bone in one of his arms.
Lucky he got his friend with him and that he acted that fast!

I bet he installs a tether wow that hurts good luck on the get well.

Lucky he didn't have studs or it would have been much worse. Read about a similar story where a trail rider had a similar mishap but had studs, wound up in critical condition. He survived but his back was mincemeat.

Our problem is that our sleds don't come with tethers. An incentive to add one for sure.

No doubt that is scary!

track

tekvest!!!!

 

[Mooseman]

Although a good suggestion, a Tekvest wouldn't help to protect arms, legs or lower torso.

Wow! That one is definitely engrained in my head now. Wont ever forget my tether anymore.

 

[BOUNTYHUNTER]

WOW...LUCKY

If that was a STUDDED TRACK....YIKES

Gotta lov those Safety Vest.....Ive always said tethers should be a STANDARD FEATURE on ANY sled

 

[Newfie Apex]
