So today I started my first run down Upper Dominion and got waved down on the 3rd table by a guy whose buddy had overshot the 2nd double, OTB'd and broken his collarbone. Diablo staff shows up, and the injured rider gets on the lift to go back down.
His buddy is still fine, he and I go our separate ways. I finish my run, get back to the top of the lift, and see the friend limping back to the lift. His bike looks...weird. When he gets closer I can see that his stem had snapped almost all the way off and his bars were barely attached. I asked him what happened, he was only able to say "Hurts when I talk, think I broke a rib."
Bad luck for that group. Hope they heal up quick. Can't believe they both got injured within an hour of each other and on the same run. Was one of the weirder things I've seen at Diablo.
