As a good friend of James Tindle and the Florida Ridge, today's Oz
Report sent me into a bit of a panic. I spoke to James Tindle and Derreck Turner
and there was an accident but in James’ words, "A couple of broken down tubes, a
couple of broken ribs, and a severely damaged ego but everybody’s all right."
I’m sure that James and Derreck will fill in the details soon as well as submit
a full report to the USHPA.

It’s not a rumor there was an accident, but it’s been greatly
exaggerated. The part about ICU is because it was the only beds available not
because of life threatening injuries, the student didn’t have his phone with him
and so friends and family could locate him when they called the hospital. There
will be an accident report written and I will try to send you a copy
