Its a Turnbull Thing...

After my accident my parents went on a vacation to Denver to meet up with my uncle and cousins.
In Denver they have extreme mountain downhill cycling. You take a mountain bike up a ski lift and go down the ski hills. My cousins convinced my Uncle Doug and my dad to do this event.
My uncle Doug went down the hill fell down and dislocated his shoulder. A couple days later my cousins convinced my dad to go with them. Sure enough my dad fell down and got a concussion. Notice his helmet. This was less then a week from my accident.
In the meantime in Edmonton my brother Christopher had just gotten a brand new bike. It was less then 3 weeks old and he was enjoying riding it around the city. I get a phone call from my mother that Chris had been in an Accident. A truck ran into my brother's bike. Its unclear on exactly what happened, but the bike was smashed and my brothers helmet saved him. Beyond that he was pretty banged up but nothing serious.

My Brothers bike.

IN LESS THEN 2 WEEKs there was 4 bike accidents!!!! WoW!!
