Abstract

Dr. Peter Rosen: Today’s case concerns a 29-year-old man who was riding his motorcycle down a quiet neighbourhood street. Someone had attached a chain from a tree on one side of the street to the other, because of an impending block party. The cyclist neither knew about the party, nor saw the chain. He collided with it at about 40 miles per hour. Someone saw him lying on the side of the road and activated the pre-hospital system by calling 911.
