7 of us on a fast downhill doing 40mph or so... 1 car attempts to pass the 2 cars waiting behind us (it was a 35 zone!)... passing car loses control, spins through our line, punts the rider behind me (I was 2nd wheel) into the ditch... All I heard was a lot of tires screeching, a collision (with my buddy), more tires screeching. I had to decide: Ditch or Road... Ditch or Road.
My buddy survived with some broken bones. As everyone was screaming at him to remain calm (ironic, I know), I knelt down and calmly said "Dude, it's going to be okay - I paused your computer." He laughed.
The EMTs took pics of the group IN the ambulance before they carted him off. Oddly, the rest of ride was not a hammer fest ;-)
