So today, I was at the skate park in Springville and there was a rollerblader on the half pipe. I hear him moaning and swearing and I look over and he's lying on the ground saying, "I broke my arm, I broke my arm, oh #$%@ I broke my arm" and for a minute everyone is just standing there staring at him and his arm all bent and unnatural looking. I ran to my car as he got and got my phone as he got up and started skating in circles, no one really knew what to do, his wife was already calling 911 or someone anyway, and then he started skating out of the skate park toward his car with his wife running after him with a baby in her arms. I opened my trunk and opened the first aid kit in it, but bandages and a flare and emergency water seemed pretty ridiculous at that point. There was no broken flesh, but an obvious break in his ulna or radius or both the way his forearm was no longer a straight line but seem to take a detour halfway between his elbow and his wrist. Ugh, I cringe just thinking about it. I have to admit though, I was tempted to get my camera out of the car and ask for a picture, is that awful? I guess we won't be seeing him at the skate park for a while. Poor kid.
