The Perils of Urban Fly Fishing

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.
