as playerone said, the first thought that crossed all of our minds, was that he was dead. matt was the difference between chris leaving hospital after 4 days, or losing a hand or possibly his life.
I can't thank matt enough, but as player said, we all pulled together as a group and did what needed to be done.
I can't speak for the others, but I felt completely helpless, and I've promised myself that i'll do a first aid course (or whatever it's called these days) in the very near future.
i'd also suggest that anyone going on a riding holiday abroad, to get the best travel insurance policy they can afford.
I also suggest not riding/swapping bikes, as it seems like a fun idea at the time, but it opens up a big can of whoop butt when things go bad....
