Hey thanks guys for all your support after Saturday's events, it means a lot to me knowing that you all care, I really am fine about it now, I was a medic in the army years ago and have maintained a lot of the skills that I learned back then and I am also fairly pragmatic about these things and have developed pretty good coping skills, such as disassociating myself from the humanity and tragedy of the event and focusing on what needs to be done in the moment and then debriefing later and venting some of my feelings, my last post was part of that debrief and a way to help me work through the events of the day and deal with it, I found it quite cathartic and your subsequent comments helped a lot and again I thank you for them.
I still haven't heard back as to weather the bike rider is ok or not, but either way I know that we did all we could do and that in the end he (the rider) made the decision to do what he did and is paying for that decision, in fact a small part of me is a pissed at him for putting us though this experience when all he had to do was slow the fuck down.
