Having been a rail buggy guy for years this was always my biggest fear. I pulled my good buddy out of a gully at Coal Creek and in the heat of screaming engines and tire smoke I drug him through a pile of tree tops.
When he finally got my attention and called me back to his car I had driven a 2.0 dia. Maple branch through what I was sure was his chest! Turned out it punctured his Carhartt coat, gashed a 2" long cut in his side and broke 3 ribs.
Damn close!
