Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

But yes, at least it held together. That makes me a little happy
Speaking of scares on a steep DH, check out this frame break story from Elden, the "Fat Cyclist".
Be very happy this didn't happen to you
