12 Year Old Dies from Fall from Bicycle ...

CBC news is reporting the tragic story of a twelve year old boy from Eden who died at the Neepawa Health Centre following a fall from his bike in his yard ... it would appear the young man was jumping ramps (something ALL of us likely have done at some point) when he fell off his bike and struck his head ...
This story hits a bit close to home for me ... on Friday my son was doing the same thing when he did a header over his handle bars and broke his nose ... fortunately my son is recovering, though battered and bruised ...
For now - this is a reminder of the safety of wearing bike helmets ...
A tragic story with accompanying thoughts and prayers for the family of this young boy ...
