classmate went down today, he's ok

Jesse H · 12-07-2006, 05:16 PM

We took our police academy final today and passed! I guess he was excited and that combined with the cold tires he target fixated on a concrete culvert, froze and bailed.

Really bad rash on his left hand and knee. Unfortunately the doofus wasn't wearing gloves, fortunately he's ok. Lid was untouched and his textile jacket looked fine. BDU pants are all torn up, tactical boots held up fine. His FZ6 is actually ok, just a bent shifter and some fairing rash.

We were worried at first when I got the call, "Hey Jesse, I just wrecked and really tore up my hands can you come get me??"

I was carpooling with my friend who already got issued his take home car so it was the first time we got to run lights and sirens.

A friend that was with us is an EMT so he cleaned his wounds and wrapped them up once we arrived. Buddy with the bike ends up riding home. I'm always telling him to wear gloves, hopefully he'll learn to.

Wonder if he was ready for that kind of first response.

Glad he is okay so far...

Make sure he wears all leather gloves.

Ask him why he wears a ballistic vest and carries a gun.

Congratulations on passing your test, thats a big step. Now, comes FTO training.

After your friend heals up be sure he gets some good gloves such as those Moto GP's that AlphaFire X5 and I got.

I wore mine tonight and they felt great! Thank AF5 for that recommendation.

whew! glad he wasn't hurt any worse.

congrats to you and your classmates that passed.

I'm glad your friend is O.K. and I hope a lesson was learned. I feel naked on my bike without my gear...helmet, gloves, jacket, boots. I've never needed any of it but it sure is comforting knowing it is there.

Good deal on passing your tests, Jesse!

Glad your fellow rider is not banged up too bad.
