Help for COPMOBA member Many accidents happen — on Saturday, for instance, yours truly did a goof, and fell in her home; a really slow fall that seemed to take five minutes, and ended in a feather-light landing. No injuries, just a freaked out cat. But unfortunately, many other accidents are a lot more serious. On Friday, a member of the Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association, and mountain biking coach, Dan Wegelin was doing some work at Confluence Park in Delta, when a "rampaging cow" approached near another man with young children. Dan told them to get to safety, but, according to his family, the cow turned her ire on him and charged, knocking him down an embankment, and then fell on top of him. He sustained multiple crushing injuries to bones and a collapsed lung; somehow managed to drag himself to his vehicle, and is now in ICU at St. Mary's Hospital. He faces a long road to recovery and many bills. If you've got a little to spare and are so inclined, please consider giving to his Go Fund Me. Wishing you the best, Dan. - Katharhynn, from the Newsroom
