Hi guys,
I know this is a little late in the day but does anyone know if there were any serious injuries during the 2012 or 2013 cycles. By serious injuries I mean, death, paralysis etc. I suppose anything permanent. Also does anyone know how people on average are tended to by the ambulance crew or first aiders.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yeah, I died going up Moll's Gap, both years, 2012 and 2013.
And I got paralytic after the 2013 edition.

Unless the reason for that question is explained I'd advise everyone not to answer it. Asking people to comment on how seriously injured people were treated reeks of legal reasons and could have serious consequences

No idea why the question was asked but 180km x 8500 cyclists = 1 million miles cycled. The data could make very for a very interesting study relating to how safe cycling is.

x amount of injuries per million miles?

The question wasn't about the number of injuries though, only serious ones, and was about how they were treated, not the numbers

Plus, any statistical data drawn from that day would only be relevant in cases where 8000 cyclists were cycling. Would be impossible to argue that 8000 cyclists on closed roads was representative of normal cycling

Jesus lads will ye get over yourselves.

I never asked about HOW people were treated, just how many.

And for the record the question has nothing to do with legalities. It stemmed from a conversation I had yesterday with someone who claimed that there was a fatality and 4 people paralysed on the 2012 cycle.

I was just wondering if he was talking through his whatsit or did it actually happen.

I quote from your original query:

"Also does anyone know HOW people on average are tended by the ambulance crew or first aiders"

Yes you did ask how people were treated.

Tomfla

Apologies, that was supposed to read 'How MANY' people were treated.

It is almost impossible to imagine that there would be a death and four people paralysed and it would not make the newspapers no? We know exactly how many cyclists are killed on the roads each year and we know, for example, that a man was killed by a hit and run driver while out training for the RoK in 2012. How would be not know that someone died during the cycle.

I was on the 2012 cycle and there was no talk of any injuries after the event. The organisers sent out PR messages about how successful it was and I don't see how they wouldn't mention the sort of carnage you describe.

Tomfla

That’s what I thought personally. But I wanted to be sure that I was right before I hopefully get my chance to tell him he is talking sh1t

For some reason the second page of that group is not showing but if you change the URL manually to say 'index2' you'll get it.

where is the Viaduct - looks amazing but I don't remember it at all :eek:

found me at the finish line - don't look half as wrecked as I felt
big thanks to the photographers on the day - can't have been easy standing there all day and editing them afterwards.

Hi,

as the web admin for killarneycameraclub.ie, I appreciated finding out about the issues with the Ring Of Kerry photos on here.

As you imagine, working with over 16000 images is a little difficult, and unnoticed mistakes can creep in.

I have added the links to pages 2 and 3 of the 1500 - 1600 Finish Line album now.

If anybody wants to share the ROK photos with a friend, please use the following link...
http://www.killarneycameraclub.ie/rok.php
which is a link to the gallery, within the main Killarney Camera Club website.

While the website seems to be working quite well, if you are experiencing delays in page loads, please be patient. The site has used 76GB worth of bandwidth in the first 3 days of August alone.

Happy hunting.
