About ten years ago climbing up steep hill here in southern AZ.
As I hit the apex wind blew extremely hard through a gap between two mountains. Pushed me sideways and off the road. Did my paratrooper roll over the bars and that's the last I remember.
Result: 6 broken ribs and a punctured lung.
Was lucky . . . I just missed a 50 ft. dropoff!
