I really hurt myself yesterday on my C-Dale

Yesterday started out fantastic, rode at an MX track in Galway and then went to a friends house in Upper Washington County. About two hours into the ride we forged a rather large creek and had to hop out up a huge bank on the other side everyone was having problems.
So when it was my turn I hit the bank square on and the hole shots dug in and up came the front and off the back went Jimmy! Did a flip over back wards right into the creek! Uuuuuugh!
So once I recovered from that we traveled another few hundred yards and had to forge another three foot deep ditch. Everyone was picking their place to jump across and so did I. I approached the jump to slow and I knew it but it was too late. I hit the other side with my back tires still in the ditch and I came down very HARD on the seat. Severely drove my butt through my shoulders. UUUUUUUuuuugh! The machine kinda popped out of the ditch from the force of going in that direction.. Rolled a few feet and I just fell off on the ground... Oh my god the pain!
After laying on the ground for 35 minutes I realized that I was all done. The pain would not go away and I didn't know how the **** I was going to get out of there. So I had the other riders help me get on my C-dale (hurt so bad I thought I was going to puke). I leaned all the way foward and rode my bike out to a main rode where I waited for them to go get my truck.
When my truck finally got there I was shaking and was light headed. It took three of them just to get me off the quad and lay me in the truck... Off to the hospital we go... It was over an hour away in the back of a 2500HD. All the bumps and jars just about killed me.
Finally at the hospital they gave me some drugs to knock me and the pain out. Six x-rays, blood work, stool and urine samples later they sent me home to be bed ridden for four days with muscle relaxers and pain killers.
Hey, be carefull out there guys this is no fun!
