Oh man, Ellen told me there was a bike accident up in your neck of the woods.  You did all you could do, shit, I don't even know what to say to make you feel better.  Condolences to the the rider's friends and family.  A big [thumbsup] to you, Jim, for your effort.

I'll repeat basically what I said in your original posting.

Get some sleep!!  You went above and beyond today.  You get all the credit in the world for trying.

BTW - brunch is on us on Sunday [thumbsup]

Oh, crap.  That sucks dude.  What's the age of the rider?  Gear, no gear?  Any take away lessons for us?

No gear except helmet and gloves.

The helmet was not to badly damaged. The gloves were trashed but he had no cuts on his hand.
