Hooning down a section of singletrack at about 30mph, and 'brushed' my bag against a low hanging branch...
It took me a few seconds to spot the damage!!

I THINK I only lost a few bits and bobs! Went back and found my buff though - bright green and easy to spot.
No idea where the rest of the bag is!!

I'd be firing an angry email at Osprey. Shows how flimsy their packs are - you should have at least been ripped from your bike and thrown to the ground 😆
Lucky escape DrP!
On the plus side, it'll now be easier to access things 🙂
Salt and pepper level alert!
Dear Osprey imagine my dissapointment when just riding along my pack blew up ! 😀
I have a mental image of a rider suspended by his apck off a branch as his bike carried on without him 😆
like a WWII paratrooper in a tree
Perhaps time for a skills session?

Are DAB radios prone to catching on fire?

I've done this 😳
It hurt a lot and the bike carried on down the trail a good 20m.
Im sort of used to similar happening to me. Being 6'5" means it happens semi regularly. Not done that much damage, but wrenched my shoulder and ripped one of the compression straps off my camelback once, stayed on the bike though!
Reporting it to the local community support officer is a tad harsh though 😉

All the time. Safety first...!

Eh??!!

😆 Very good!
DrP
isn't it a community support officer leaflet next to the bag?
Nope.. it's the instructions for a "make your own clay face mask" set that me and the lad had been playing with a few days ago.
Wouldn't it be odd if he was 17....!!

(He's 5, BTW. and yes, my skin IS lovely now..)
My mistake.
Looked very similar to the ones we have had through the door.
That'll teach me to try and be funny 😳
I laughed 😉

Look what cropped up on a friend's ride home this morning...!!
It was actually hanging from a tree!

If you'd still been attached to it, you could have been a real internet sensation!
Few minutes with a sewing machine, it will buff out!
Always a remember a friend of mine getting ripped off his bike when his camelbak got caught on a branch. Oh we laughed! And I always think about it and smile when I clip a tree.
I still remember the sore neck after doing similar with a BLT helmet light...
On a similar vein, last time we were at BPW it was rather wet, so we thought it might be fun to slither down "half cut".....
My good friend Matt, caught a root with his front wheel, went "flying over the bars" only for the belt loop on his shorts to get caught on the stub of a branch, leaving him, sans bike, hanging in mid air about 6foot above the steep trail by his butt!
Needless to say, i laughed! 😉
I ducked under a low branch a couple of months ago and my camelbak just stuck jamming me between my bike and the branch. Had to drop my dropper post to escape 🙂
