Mountain biker plunges off 40-foot cliff
Annapolis man in critical condition after accident at Patapsco Valley
State Park
By Melissa Harris | Sun reporter
4:10 PM EDT, October 30, 2007
An Annapolis man mountain biking on a walking trail in the Patapsco
Valley State Park this morning failed to navigate a curve and plunged
over a 40-foot cliff, according to the Maryland Department of Natural
Resources. The accident occurred off Ilchester Road southeast of
Ellicott City in the Hilton area of the park.
Christopher Campbell, 40, was flown by state police to Maryland Shock
Trauma Center, where he was listed in critical condition this
afternoon.
Campbell was the second person in a line of three bicyclists on the
trail about 10 a.m. The first cleared the curve but Campbell did not.
The third cyclist saw the accident and rushed to render first aid,
said Kara Turner, a spokeswoman for the Department of Natural
Resources.

Having fallen off a cliff myself, I can tell you that you don't need to be a
dumb mountain biker to do it. Dumb backpacker is enough. ;-)

It's pretty hard to do as a hiker, and pretty EASY, as a mountain
biker.

I think you should consider yourselves fortunate. Here in oz we have filthy
bloody trail bikers
(as in motorbikes) to put up with on walking tracks.

I'm told that Australians can get a motor home into places your average
American couldn't get a Jeep.

might get some gravel dings in the paint. The Jeep is for appearances
only (in most cases), and the full-suspension ATB mounted to it is just
a fashion accessory, and not for riding.

What can be done about it? The National Parks and Wildlife Service have
limited resources.
Admittedly, it only occurs in the national parks close to urban areas, but
how do you argue
against a moron riding a 500 cc at you? They even ride unregistered bikes
around on suburban
streets on weekends. Again a lack of police resourses would be to blame.
All part af increasing
lawlessness under a fascist government.

Lawlessness and fascism are opposites and no they don't attract.

You need to get a new government.

Tell me about it! Unfortunately people don't like change and are duped by
the scare campaigns
of the encumbent government. We have an election coming up and I have my
fingers crossed.

By "fascist" I meant extreme right-wing - not a police state.
The so-called "liberals" (read Tory) in Australia are committed to give more
tax cuts to the
rich, while infrastructure and services (education, health, law enforcement)
dwindle to a shadow.
Not enough police = more lawlessness.
