Update on Frosty [Archive] - Kiwi Biker forums

Some of you might be aware that Frosty had an "incident" today at the end of the trackday where someone put the chain accross the pit lane not realising that Frosty and three others were going out for a session. Unfrotunately we not did realise in time and Frosty peeled off into the pits before anyone could reach the chain. He saw it at the last moment but was not able to stop in time. He managed to break the chain partly with the bike and then his arm and throat. Big thanks to those with the knowledge to be able to help straight after the crash.

I have just returned from Taupo Hospital and he is basically OK, although somewhat sore. They have X-rayed his throat and there appears to be no major damage but they are "deporting" him (true, that's what it says on his hospital bracelet!) to Rotorua hospital overnight just to be safe (Taupo hospital has limited Trauma facilities....like sweet stuff all).

A couple of messages from Frosty: a big thanks to all for a great day (...and everybody behaving themselves!) and naturally the Karting night is postponed (perhaps a mod could put this up for me).

who the fuck thgought they were important enough to close the track? Frosty has worked hard to bring track days to kiwibiker, and frankly, whoever put the chain across, should get a bollocking. it's almost criminal negligence.

a speedy recovery Frosty.

21st May 2006, 21:03

For those concerned about liablity for the accident, this will be a "topic of discussion" with the track manager and his bosses on monday. Someone may have made some assumptions that they should not have resulting in some confusion. In the circumstances, I would think that proving a case of criminal nuisance might be tricky. Knowing some of the track management, I am sure new procedures will be in place very quickly.

For the record, this evening Frosty was blaming no one in particular simply saying "shit happens" (his words).
I'll let Frosty take it from here.

21st May 2006, 21:04

until the exact circumstances of the incident are known, no one should be blaming anyone nor should they be expecting anyone other than the injured party to pay for any medical costs or repairs to bikes.

22nd May 2006, 11:31

Get well soon Frosty.

This was an incredibly unfortunate incident that could have involved any one of the four of us out on the track at that time.

I believe it was purely bad luck that this has occurred but I would like to see Taupo track management consider an alternate means of closing the pit lane - either not at all or with some kind of obvious marking. It was very late in the day and light was fading fast - it would have been impossible to have seen the chain from any distance.

Jill
I thought the same thing when Frosty suggested closing the "gate" during sessions. I could just see someone late getting out tearing down the pitlane before anyone could stop them and missing the chain across the track.

Thanks for the text updates Tony, get well soon mate. I feel bad about black flagging ya in your first session now.

Actually, no I don't. Tha was funny as fuck. :lol:

Finn

22nd May 2006, 11:35

This is another case of "Only in New Zealand". What the hell are they doing using a friggen chain to close off the pitt lane knowing the track is used for bikes??? They should have a gate for fucks sake.

Some lazy sod probably wanted to go home early.

Frostly is incredibly lucky. Hope he's okay.

Frosty Boy, Frostly Boy, often licked, never beaten...

James Deuce

22nd May 2006, 11:39

Take it easy Frosty, and I hope you return to full function ASAP. Well not full function, but like you were before ;)

Definitely won't catch me doing a track day at Taupo now, even if I could ever get it past SWMBO.

Mental Trousers

22nd May 2006, 12:34

As Frosty himself said, just lucky it wasn't one of the girls. Guys are natural bigger, stronger and tougher. If Keystone or Velox (both are slim wee things) hit it they most likely wouldn't have gotten up. Andrews Stroud most likely would've hit it faster, although he turns off into the carpark normally rather than going through the pits.

mstriumph

22nd May 2006, 12:46

Frosty in chains IN PUBLIC??.......... nasty! - i mean, isn't this the sort of thing that should only happen between consenting adults and their bikes in the privacy of their own garages?? :innocent:

seriously, Fella ---- glad you were only "shaken, not stirred" and it gets sorted quickly... [ie don't make me come over there bearing grapes!!! :nya: ]

Waylander

22nd May 2006, 12:46

I also, would like to suggest the "person" who did iot be paying for all medical costs, days off -including those of his freinds - etc,
Was none of us on bikes there that did it. Frosty went up and down the pit lane shouting to everyione there that "the girls are gonna go out and give stroudy the learn" We all knew they were still out there and wouldn't have done the chain up. My guess would be one of the young flag marshals thinking the day was over.

Anyway Frosty heal well and soon.

Not good news at all. An op sounds a little serious. :(
Hope all goes well mate. What a bummer.

Hit a bull chain on my Suki 250 when I was 18. Doing a runner from an amorous cop down a favourite alley and didn't see the chain in the dark till my headlight picked it out. Going to quick and hit it about fork level. Thankfully the bike speed snapped the chain but it dented my tank and ripped a side cover clean off. Could have easily got my leg.

Rather nasty way to seal off a pit lane on a track???? :nono:

22nd May 2006, 15:54

Actually I have a comment to make about the marshals. Now I was a guest to the track and only went out twice but I noted the marshal in the tower close to Pit lane was holding the yellow flag out when a bike dropped a load of oil at the S's. That's good but that same person had his/her head down on their arms leaning on the wall of the tower looking down at their feet and was unable to see the track or what was happening. So why do I mention this...well if Tony is going to pay for marshals they have to be more aware of what is going on at all times. If that was the attitude of this marshal when we had a hazard on the track could they be so relaxed and keen to go home that they never thought about what they were doing should they have been the ones to put the chain up? If yes and they were paid to be at the track I think questions need to be answered. Anyway that is up to Tony and I do not want to start a witch hunt but I was a bit disappointed to see that from paid marshals.
Also I was only a guest at the track and with that in mind I will not continue this but get well soon Tony.

22nd May 2006, 19:52

Just curious about how it happened, was this the chain on the exit from the pits to the track? And was he coming in or going out?

Frosty was coming into the pits late in the afternoon having peeled off from the other three riders still on the track. A well meaning (but misguided individual) had placed the chain across the exit lane possibly not realising that there were still four riders out there. Light was fading fast and Frosty would have had no chance at all of seeing the chain.
Chaining off the circuit was a new proceedure for this track instituted for security reasons. The large gate was put in at the old cicuit because we had continuing problems with local morons breaking in and hooning around at night causing considerable (and expensive) damage to the track surface and surrounds and creating liability issues for the club.
The issue is not whether or not there should have been a chain there, but who should have put it up and when.

ajturbo

22nd May 2006, 20:40

The issue is not whether or not there should have been a chain there, but who should have put it up and when.

MY theory on this issue....... the cost of a gate that size is around $150...

small cost on the overall scheme (sp?) of the track...

trumpy

22nd May 2006, 20:53

MY theory on this issue....... the cost of a gate that size is around $150...

small cost on the overall scheme (sp?) of the track...

Totally agree, though it still would have been closed when it shouldn't have been (although it would have been somewhat easier to see). Major systems failure.

FROSTY

22nd May 2006, 21:11

Thanks for the messages of concern folks.
This is Pillion typing for FROSTY
I was discharged from Rotorua hospital at 4.00pm today.
I talked my way out of an operation (now that would have been interesting to seee/hear)
Not feeling 100 percent (or actually even 50percent).
It seems I've done damage to my food pipe and my voice box so I'm really tired and very hungry.At this stage theres about a 50/50 chance its permanant.(sexy very quiet sean connery voice)
As to what happened. Its been pretty well explained elsewhere. I was following the two gals around as a mobile marshal in case anything happened to them. I decided after 10 minutes or so it was time to call it quits. I came off the track to wave the flag but there was a chain slung across the pit entry road at neck height. I hit it with my neck and flew backwards off the bike. I took the impact on my neck,broke the chain in two and tore it off at both ends. I flew backwards and smacked my head on the track. The bike carried on and smashed down on its left side.
I won't let this tarnish an otherwise fantastic day so please lets not talk about the blame thing.
I am literally just thanking God I peeled in early because the concequences had it been one of the gals or Andrew wouldn't bear thinking about.

It was his throat that got hit, Buggy. Your grasp of anatomy's worse than mine.

Perhaps we could get him one of those Stephen Hawking voice box things, like the cop in Mad Max that goes through the windscreen.

Seriously, heal up soon, Tony.

That was a real nasty way to end the day! Frosty - I didn't even know you were out on the track with us until we came in and you were standing there clutching your throat and yelling what had happened. Really hope nothing's permanent mate. Although there were a few people that were kind of grateful that you'd been shut up for a while!:blah:

Keep us posted on how you're going ok?

Good to hear you're out of the hospital mate.

Thanks for the text updates - which I would have gotten sooner if I'd remembered to take my personal cell to work :mellow:

All the best for the next few weeks and I'm sure this little setback won't slow your irrepressible personality for long...

Hey mate, glad to hear you are out of hospital, all the best for a speedy and full recovery. I had a great day there as I'm sure everyone else did. Its such a shame that an incident such as this marrs the end of it, but it sounds like you are fairly philosophical about it all.

Keep us all posted on updates, you have a lot of well wishers on this site.

Actually I have a comment to make about the marshals. .../... but I noted the marshal in the tower close to Pit lane was holding the yellow flag out when a bike dropped a load of oil at the S's. That's good but that same person had his/her head down on their arms leaning on the wall of the tower looking down at their feet and was unable to see the track or what was happening. So why do I mention this...well if Tony is going to pay for marshals they have to be more aware of what is going on at all times. If that was the attitude of this marshal when we had a hazard on the track could they be so relaxed and keen to go home that they never thought about what they were doing should they have been the ones to put the chain up? If yes and they were paid to be at the track I think questions need to be answered. Anyway that is up to Tony and I do not want to start a witch hunt but I was a bit disappointed to see that from paid marshals.

I have had a private message relating to my comments above ^^^^.
I want to apologise for my comments. Things are not as they appeared and as I had been told.
I thank everyone that worked at the track on the day. If Tony had not got hurt I would not have posted my comments. I should know better at my age.
Thanks for a great day everyone.

I just want to say thanks for all the support. The horspiddle staff probably wanted to take my and Forstys cellphones so the other patients could get some sleep. The staff at Rotorua were fantastic.

Just wanted to really say thanks to Trumpy for offering me somewhere to sleep as shacking up next to a rather sad looking Black Ice in the freezing cold in the back of the van was not an appealing thought

Dreamer thanks for the bed at Camelia Court...hope I didnt eake you when I left.

Mr Cowpoos....thanks for popping into the hospital with lunch and someone to talk to - that raspy voice was getting on my damn nerves. Not that I understood what you and Frosty were on about but I hope I nodded in all the right places. You are a legend!

Ok folks I've had a few PM's n stuff. Im totally blown away by you lot.
I'm still not talking propper like and it looks like what Ive got is about as good as it gets. Sorta normalish but a distinct lack of volume.
Left arm --(why ohh why is it always that one) is very sore.
I tried to do some laps at the trackday 31/5 which I managed but at a VERY slow pace. The ol bod just couldnt manage to jump around like it used to. After a few laps I couldnt manage more than a slow cruise
But definitely on the mend so thats all positive
The poor ol bike really took a hiding, I borrowed a few bits to get it to the track day

That's awful, I'm glad though that he's ok... One thing that scares me is any impact to the neck area.

Get well soon Tony

This crash has set Frosty back some what. Not only did he get hurt doing suff for us, but also his racing bike and racing gear (encluding his helmet). This is not cheap shit and is not cover for by Insurance for this accident.
Now we have heard the saying "Playing It Forward", well considering Frosty has "played it forward" for so many of us, I think it's time we "Played It Back" and helped him out.
To that end I am Starting a thread with this in mind:

Hey FROSTY, only just saw this thread now, hope you are well on the way to healing! It sux that this happened in a "safe" place. Thats motorcycling i suppose.
I hope that you get your voice back properly and can launch off in the saddle asap.
