"Everyone involved was brilliant"

My son overshot a jump on a steep downhill section near the top of the trail, didn't see him fall or land as I was slightly back but saw his bike bounce upwards behind the jump. Rode over the jump and saw him lying motionless half on/half off the trail. Son was unresponsive and making gurgling/snoring noises. Very scared and concerned at this point so tried to keep him still and called an ambulance - after a while police arrived at the top of the trail, then mountain rescue then the ambulance service.

My son had woke up after a few minutes and a doctor from a hospital in Glasgow had stopped to help too. Everyone involved was brilliant. Mountain rescue were great - a doctor from the local hospital was part of their team so along with the police they really helped put us all at ease.

My son was immobilised and carried down to the waiting ambulance, then transferred to the local hospital. In the A&E he was fully assessed where it was found he had a broken collarbone. Despite being given strong painkillers he was still in a lot of pain then started vomiting so it was decided to admit him to the children's ward so they could keep an eye on him try and control his pain.

Staff in the ward were amazing- they looked after my son and they looked after me too. They explained everything that was going on and why they were doing them - they involved my son in everything and went out of their way to be nice to all of us, including the rest of the family who by then travelled to the hospital too.
