The Perils of Urban Fly Fishing
Thursday, March 29, 2012 at 12:00AM 
A cyclist riding along the Platte River Path in Denver, CO was seriously injured when he was snagged by a fly fisherman.
According to 9 News, a fly fisherman attempting to land a large fish crossed the bike path with his rig, leaving the fishing line draped across the trail. He pulled the line taut just as the cyclist passed by and snagged his helmet on the line. The cyclist lost control and landed in the hospital with a chipped bone in his spine, a concussion, broken pelvis, broken arm and multiple bruises and abrasions.

Well did he land the large fish?
Stay off the Platte Trail Lance.
That's some funny shizz right there. Sounds like a comedy sketch.
I love how you "people" think this is funny. Wait until one of your loved ones is seriously injured by a bicyclist and bicyclist are writing on forums laughing about it.
I know this is the internet and people are protected by anonymous speech but you "people" are pathetic.
