slowrollwv Posted June 9, 2019 #1 Posted June 9, 2019 My 6 year old grandson was riding with a neighbor girl yesterday in her yard and they had an accident. She went to make a turn and lost control and it flipped throwing her free and not hurt. My grandson was not so lucky. He was transported to the hospital and found that he had a broken jaw it two places and maybe broken ankles. They put splints on his legs. He had surgery this morning on the jaw and had a plate to hold the bone together. They were both wearing half helmets but the ATV landed on top of him.
Patch Posted June 9, 2019 #2 Posted June 9, 2019 Wow! That is hard news, I certainly hope he heels well, both injury's are difficult ones.
Sylvester Posted June 9, 2019 #3 Posted June 9, 2019 Wow, that makes me nausious. So sorry for grandson. Prayers are being said.
leo3wheel Posted June 9, 2019 #6 Posted June 9, 2019 So sorry to hear this news, Chuck! Prayers for your grandson!
djh3 Posted June 9, 2019 #7 Posted June 9, 2019 Man that sucks. So he is going to be laid up for the whole summer vacation. Kids usually heal pretty fast and recover good. Hope all works out for him. I actually think those things are more dangerous than a regular dirt bike.
slowrollwv Posted June 9, 2019 Author #8 Posted June 9, 2019 Update on the grandson. He got to come home today. No broken bones in his ankles. But does have two brakes in his jaw. One at the corner of his mouth where they put the plate and the other one is high close to the left ear. He will be sore for a while but doing good.
Ky. Rider Posted June 10, 2019 #9 Posted June 10, 2019 All in all that's good news. Could have been a lot worse. Lost a sister n law a few years back when one flipped back on her. Prayers for your grandson.

XV1100SE Posted June 12, 2019 #14 Posted June 12, 2019 Sorry to hear about your grandson's accident. Hopes for a speedy healing !
slowrollwv Posted June 12, 2019 Author #15 Posted June 12, 2019 Thanks Don he is doing better every day. His face is swollen but he is starting to talk some and not in a lot of pain. The worst is that he is on a soft or liquid diet for four weeks.
