I don't think I could have been that calm, losing a foot or not. Especially not losing my foot.

That sux, sorry about the foot of course, but glad he did not go down and get flattened out by a huge set of dual tires.
Going to be long court battle over this.

Ya know, suing doesn't even come to mind with me. Guess that's the first thing some think about. Not that he doesn't deserve major compensation, he does. It's just not something I jump to.

In Wyoming involving two people from California is how I read it.

I just hate hearing about crazy stuff like this. Hope he gets rich over his pain and suffering. Also shocked he didn't get crushed by the back wheels.

I never could understand the "sue the he-- out of them" attitude. I would only resort to that if really necessary, not just jump right on the band-wagon from the get-go.
Hope Marko pulls through OK. There are a lot of support groups out there to help....and if he appears on this site, he'll have a lot of support from the members who know what he is going through.
