I am a surgical resident. I see traumas like this all the time. ATV’s and snowmobiles are deadly. People. don’t seem to understand the damage these vehicles can cause. Think 5x before getting on one of these.
It’s so sad, I think it’s time for ppl to think before they go to enjoy themselves, that some activities are just too dangerous , this is the second accident of a boy in Williamsburg that I’m familiar, the same goes with skiing, I would suggest to anybody skiing, to first step in for a minute in the first aid room, they are constantly full of patients, with a broken limbs, while the more serious patients are transported to the hospital
Sorry for your lose
BDE. That’s a long way to travel to snowmobile, over 300 miles from Brooklyn. It it one of the coldest and snowiest parts of the state home to little other than dairy farms.
