All of the above points about the phone being dead after 10 seconds if its an iPhone aside, i use this;

it means i cant bump uglys with old flames without being caught, but it also could mean i get found in a ditch while i'm still alive.

Good job it was only a broken spine and not MANFLU.

Have I told you that I have MANFLU. I'm being brave about it.

This is why I would never ever go out on my bike after an argument with the partner, nor would I let him, I'd kiss and make up just to potentially save his arse (shhh don't tell him though, or he'll win every argument by threatening to go out on his bike haha!).

What a tough cookie, I wonder how much longer he could have lasted? Must play havoc with your mental state

I guess even just having a whistle around your neck or something would be useful, just to signal you are there, esp. if your phone is broken or unreachable. Low tech

I had my big get off after an arguement with my wife at the time. Didn't go out again after an arguement.

just checked my setting on my Luimia800 as i thought id previously turned it off to save battery, ive discovered it was on, and im still getting a days battery out of the phone,

will inform Mrs PDUK how to locate me on laptop for just in case moments.

its quite a worrying though.

but fair play to the guy for hanging in there

Apparently, the police located roughly where he was by using his phone. I did see somewhere a tethered "distress baloon" that you can release in such an emergency but this isn't the sort of thing that happens very often and I for one won't be rushing out to get one.

He might not be completely paralysed after all, saw the following on the dailyfail website:

I bet he was gasping for a roll-up. It's the first thing I think of if I get knocked off the bike.

1stly, before this post..
Wow, what a guy, I'm certainly hoping the DailyFail weren't mistaken in their assertion that he had movement, and again lets hope a full recovery to that man!
And the way I pictured it, after initially thinking 200m is a bloody long distance (football pitch, My bike slid 82m at NSL(ish) speeds on it's side.. I didn't go anywhere near that far)
I think it's more likely that he stayed on the bike for some distance after hitting or 'clipping' the sign.. obviously out of control,
Possibly veering over the road or fishtailing/ tank slapping until him and bike either bit the dust and slid off the road or rode straight off.. which might be more likely given the extent of his injuries.

This is where a tracker with a "biker down" sort of feature comes in handy. Mine texts and emails the registered numbers if the bike leans over too far and slows down suddenly.

I wonder what he was thinking the whole time... and the part about being able to feel insects on him would make me want to die if I were him.
