goose491 0 #1 December 19, 2002 Hey all, remember that premature in Ontario, Canada in August? It happened on the step of a C182 and the guy (Leon Sebek) hit and opened his skull on the horizontal Stabilizer? Well as per yesterday's Toronto Star, he is being dispatched from Hospital today after spending over 100 days in a coma. I've updated the thread in the Incidents forum but figured you'd all like to see it here too. He and his wife are on the front page and he's looking very well. The article is well-writen and includes a pretty good description of the incident. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lsebek1 0 #8 June 21, 2012 Hello everyone. I'm Leon Sebek and I just posted an update in the "General Skydiving Discussions" forum under the heading "Follow-up -- Leon Sebek -- Press Clips". As I mentioned in that post, Quade and Kizzie92 had most of the facts correct but Quade posted an article from the local paper which had some errors in it (it's odd that non-skydivers can make so many mistakes when writing up a story... gust of wind, indeed?) and Kizzie92 was a wrong when he suggested that I had some consciousness initially after my accident. I was knocked completely unconsciousness after striking the plane and remained that way until I awoke from my coma at Hamilton General 4 weeks later.Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger! L.S.
