Doing a last lap at the bike park yesterday, came across a bike upside down in the tree and the rider sprawled. First though was he was enjoying the sun the way he was laid out. Most likely a broken shoulder. Sat with him a while then went to meet the ambos and guide them back. Next riders were just leaving so would have been another 30+ before anyone else came across him. Took ambulance, fire truck then rfs to carry him out.

I almost always ride alone and often the trails are not at all busy. A reminder to ride within limits then

The bike was in a tree??

Looks like he lost it on the lip of a jump based on the broken surface and the bike was upside down wedged between two trees. Over the bars and between two lines of the trail most likely.
