Glad to hear your story Jaco . In 1978 I flew into a gas truck and did not walk away. 18 days in the hospital and 6 compressed vertebrae did not teach me enough . I continued sky diving until I broke my leg in 3 places. I'm a little bit wiser now but not very . God has been very good to me and my family in spit of my stupidity.Bill Starrs Clarkdale,AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jaco Swanepoel" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 21, 2005 11:54 PM Subject: KR> BRS
Mark, I truly respect everyone's right to make their own choices. I am glad you managed to avoid serious injury on that bike of yours. I would just like to shortly tell you were I am coming from. On 18 October 1999, whilst living on a farm near Marloth Park on the eastern side of South Africa, I was attacked by a Cape Buffalo whilst in the bush. I used to be a professional hunter and have 22 years experience without incident. On this day I was not even hunting. I sustained severe injuries which had a severe reaction on myself and my family. I had 12 operations in 5 years and died twice on the table. I was grounded for by caa for 5 years. After going through all of this, I will do ANYTHING at ANY COST to turn the odds in my favour. I do not expect you to understand, but living on the edge is one thing if you only need to worry about yourself. It is totally another when you laying in bed for 9 months, not being able to support your family and going without meals for 2 to 3 day so that your children can eat. God blessed me and gave me my life back (10 times better than before). Please make wise choices and be safe.
