My brother from another mother/roommate layed down his Kawasaki 500 just hours after we finished painting her Lambo orange. He was going around a turn and lost it when his wheel slipped off the shoulder. He and the bike both tumbled and bounced into a steel reinforced concrete pillar. I'm at work when I get the call that he's being airlifted. He had his gear on, but its not good.
Come to find out he's got a torn aortic heart valve, fractured spine, broken ribs, punctured lungs, skull fractures, facial fractures, fractured pelvis, and broken leg.
He's currently recovering from heart surgery in intensive care at the heart trauma center. They have him in a drug-induced coma right now. All his vitals are stable but he can't breath on his own. They say it seems that he'll pull through it but there's a possibility that he's got an infection/pneumonia in his lungs. All we can do is hope for the best...
(Here's a few pics. We don't have any "before" pics because she wasn't wet sanded or buffed yet.)
