I've been there before. In ~2005/2006, I was riding above Bountiful when the trail gave way, causing my machine to throw me and subsequently rolling down a hill. I came to rest against a tree, then my 700 pound Kawasaki landed atop me, pinning me at the chest.

I was up there ~45 minutes, nobody for miles.. fortunately, I was able to get my big knife out and dig enough soft dirt out from under me to slip out. I then used the winch to flip the machine over and drag it back up the hill and onto the trail.

3x broken ribs, bruised liver & kidney.

I learned a valuable lesson and that is that if I do ride alone, I need to always bring my SPOT and a whistle (on my person).

Wow! Yeah I try to ride with buddies, even on Mountain Bike, but there's something about those solo rides that are nice and peaceful.
