After seeing what looked like a shark attack amount of blood. He was able to get himself on the boat. Once we had pressure on it, the bleeding subsided to a manageable level.
Two hospitals and 13 staples later, he was all put back together again. I guess it was a freak deal, but I think we may start wearing helmets.
Hopefully, he will heal up in time for our thanksgiving ride.
