XxDrumCorpsFanxX Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 My thoughts are with him! I was following along to some tweets, and on the live blog on DCIs website when I heard about that. It sounded so shocking with how the events rolled out, but I hope for a speedy recovery for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersop Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) Can anyone explain how this happened? Was it a result of a fall? I am no authority on this .. but over the course of the night I've read it was a compound fracture. I've read that He had been having troubles and nursing a previous injury throughout the season and could barely walk this week at times. I've read it was a fall going into the company front (at breakneck speed). I do not know if the leg just gave out or any details of the sort, but I would imagine this to be the case. It's a very high vocabulary move getting into the front. It sounded as if though he tried to get off the field under his own power and might have really hurt himself in doing so. It was reported that a staff member took him on their back and carried him off the field. Edited August 15, 2010 by supersop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rd Glasgow BB Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 All our thoughts are with him. Those of us who marched will remember being told that if you trip, fall or bump into somebody, just forget about it and do your best to catch up. That's what he was trying to do. It was horrible, a real gut wrenching moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
