This won't help my riding area one bit. Not that its cool anyone got hurt at all but - thankfully they weren't on an ATV.
Motorcyclist falls from cliff
Bucks County Courier Times
Lower Southampton - A teenage motorcyclist from Palm Bay, Fla., fell off a 50-foot cliff along the Norfolk railroad lines in Playwicki Park Sunday afternoon.
The teen, whom police did not identify, was riding in the park near Langhorne Avenue with his uncle when he fell from the cycle and down the cliff, police said.
Penndel Fire Chief Sam Simon said rescuers needed ropes and rigging to lift the teen out of the ravine. Simon said brush and shrubbery had to be cleared for rescuers to reach the victim.
Police said the youth suffered serious injuries. He was flown by PennStar helicopter to an area hospital.
The Northampton, Parkland and Penndel fire companies responded, along with Northampton and Lower Southampton police and the Penndel-Middletown Rescue Squad.
The area of the park where the teen was injured lies in an area of heavy undergrowth bordering Lower Southampton, Northampton and Middletown.
