Wow that is scary! I hope they have a full recovery. The person that wrote that blog did an amazing job. I'm sure he helped prevent other people from getting injured.

Does a mountain biker $&!# in the woods?

Yeah, the blog post even describes what it sounded like. Pretty freaky.

4th time in 6 months that a tree has caused serious injury in Sonoma County? That is freaky, man. Freaky.

Although on the other hand if you don't mind risking death, that would probably be a good area for spring training...

I was 20 seconds ahead of the guy that got hit by the tree and yes you could hear it fall and him screaming.  Very unsettling.
