That's correct. when the hood of the air-condition bus pulled the wires down on ChogM road near the cemetery, they were at neck level to someone driving a 2 wheeler. i happen to reach there at the same time to witness what happened. So i parked my scoter at the side and went into the center of the road, flagging all vehicles to slow down and saftely allowing them to cross. After being there for about an hour, i pulled the granite stones that mark the edge of the road and put one on each side keeping the wire at road level, thinking i could go home and get a wire cutter and hammer to cut the wires. when walking towards my scoter a car going from Panjim to Calangute went by so fast that the wires lifted while simultaneously a car coming from Calangute proceeding to Panjim hit the wires. Headlight broke so I turned around but it was too late, the wire caught me on my ribs, i spun around and lifted off the ground to about 5 feet, hitting the road with my helmet and elbow and being dragged to about 15 meters. Although i sustained head injuries - could have been fatal if not for the helmet. Jason

To: [email protected] Jason, I think I still remember your accident. Were'nt you trying to warn oncoming riders about a fallen electricity wire or something like that?

(a few may remember). fortunately for me i still had my helmet on and believe it or not it saved my life. My advise to all the youngsters out there - accidents don't tell and happen, or could even be the fault of someone else - but if it does, and you have your helmet on, it could save your life. Life is worth living with a lot of choices. Make one of those choices, to wear a Helmet. -- Saligao-Net is at http://groups.google.com/group/saligao-net To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe email [email protected] -- Saligao-Net is at http://groups.google.com/group/saligao-net To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe email [email protected]
