Survival - no SPOT

I was low, one wing hit something and I was not high enough to
deploy the reserve wing. I had just enough time to think this is going to hurt
before I hit the ground. If somebody crashes there are normally other people in the air who would see
you, but I was the wrong side of the mountain so nobody did. I crashed and realised I had damaged my arm quite badly. I could not use it, I
had fractured seven ribs on my left side, punctured my lung and fractured my
pelvis.
A great read. Read the whole story. Apparently Guy will follow up
with his own story.
