scary accident

My friends and I were driving to Auburn to go for a long hike today, and on the twisty turny road, a guy fell off his motorcycle right in front of us. It looked like maybe he was going too slow, and then slid out on some gravel in the road. He was extremely lucky, as his bike caught a small stump and stayed at the top off the hill, instead of falling onto the ravine below. He was probably in his sixties, and seemed to only hurt his shoulder, but he was also limping after we got him back up onto the road. so someone called him an ambulance. There was another guy who pulled off the road too and he had a tow strap, so we looped it through the rear wheel of the bike, and pulled it back up onto the road. It fell into some pretty soft dirt, so there didn't appear to be too much damage to the bike. That guy was really lucky.
