Dunno, maybe IABU but am a bit shaken up by this.
Was out walking in a forest with the dog and pass a group of approx 40 school kids out with their teachers all on mountain bikes. I'm going in the opposite direction on the forest track.
About a mile down the track one of these kids who has turned round and come back in the same direction im going in passes me going way too fast. Came round a big bend and lost it - major crash. He's in the grass opposite me and I realise he's badly hurt as he sat up and started screaming he was spraying blood out his face. Properly spraying.
There was another kid just behind him who said she would go "and find Miss". She disappears back up the hill.
I'm left for a good ten minutes with this kid who is pouring blood, drifting in and out of concisousness and totally in shock after making some fairly large puncture holes in himself and taking most of the skin off his face.
I just keep thinking if I hadn't happened to be there it would have been awful for those kids, they were Year 8. Not a busy forest either, I passed one other person on a six mile walk so total chance there was someone there.
Just seems the teacher was a long way away for what is a moderately dangerous activity......especially at the speed he was going at.

AIBU?
To think maybe these school kids should have been supervised more closely?
