My little brother, Anthony Bing, was in a terrible snowmobile accident on January 3, 2016, while we were sledding together in the back country. Sledding is his passion. It was nearing the end of an amazing day of sledding together with Mindy, his wife, myself, my 4 year old son, and our mother and father when this horrific nightmare happened. We had all been playing on the hills all day long, Anthony decided to go up one last time. The hill got a little steep and Anthony's sled came right over backwards, spun 180 degrees and the track of the snowmobile landed on his leg while the throttle was stuck wide open. The scratcher (a metal bar that digs in the snow) went through his boot and through his achilles tendon which stopped him from being able to pull his leg out. Meanwhile the back end of the track ripped through his clothing removed all the skin and tissue and into the muscle and tendons on the back side of his entire right leg. While the track was spinning at 70 mph it was cauterizing as it ate through his leg. He put his hand into the track to free his leg and shattered his hand. I was quickly at his side and able to get him down onto flat ground where I removed my clothes to make tourniquets to stop the bleeding. We called an ambulance and my amazingly tough in shock brother road out to the parking lot where the ambulance rushed him off to the Whistler Clinic. The clinic did triage on him and determined

Had a friend roll his summit over and some how the sled went into reverse and pinned the throttle. His right arm was sucked into the front of the track and around the drivers. They had to cut the track off the sled and use logs to pry his arm out. He had 3 breaks (2 compund) from between his wrist and just past his elbow. He is recovery nicely but very luck to still have his arm. This accident wouldn't of happend if he had his tether on, and thas straight from him mouth! PLEASE WEAR A TETHER!!!!!

Man I've had a tether for so many years I almost felt naked when I had the new sled out for my breakin ride. Haven't had time to get it on before my ride tomorrow but thinking I'm going to have to lose some sleep to get it on before my ride tomorrow.

D@mn, dude...

Yeah, tethers are cheaper than hospital bills or runaway sleds that smoke trees.

Hope that guy recovers fully.
