To DJ Nation; If you’re willing, Aaron Arndt wishes to rent your PSP- inclusing all games- for 20 euro.
To The Skating Community: After speaking with Aaron Arndt about his crash and his injuries that occured in the Weinfelden World Inline Cup race, he asked me to dispell two myths;
A) He was not taken to the hospital via helicopter. He waited for about 1-hour with paramedics along his side while other injured skaters were being taken away by ambulance.
B) He did not beat up any children
Aaron informed me that the crash took place when the pack was zooming at about 80km/h. He couldn’t avoid the pile of fallen skaters in front of him, tried to jump over them as they were falling, and he was caught up in the mass of falling skaters. He flipped in the air a few times and ended up in the grass.
The crash happenned about 13km into the race. A number of skaters ended up in cornfields and in the grass. He confirmed that the number of skaters who fell was about 50.
He expects that reports of other skaters suffering serious injuries will arise over the next few days. According to Aaron, there are three other skaters in the same hospital where he is hospitalized.
He has undergone a surgey to secure his dangling foot- and he now has external fixators. Check them out on google.
These fixators have rods on them. He said that when his bed sheets rub along the external rods, it feels like they are a part of his body because they vibrate ever so slightly. It gives him the hebegeebees.
His elbows are swollen and purple (but not broken) and he has little skin left on his back.
He says hello to everyone out there. If you want to call him (from Canada), the phone # to his room is 001 41 52739899

Would you happen to know what we’d need to dial to call from the U.S.?
Hi guys,
I’m writing from Italy, I was there last saturday, I was about 200 m before crash place at downhill end. TERRIBLE!!!
when I arrived a lot of skaters were started again but some skaters were lying on the ground.
I say only that a fall was incredible, never seen before!
I recognized immediately two Italian skaters, Claudio Naselli e Riccardo Bugari (Luigino World Team).
Claudio beat very strong his head and has lost much blood, Riccardo had a deep cut in the knee.
Aaron was in the lawn beside the road, the ambulance arrived immediately.
Aaron was held motionless for much more than an hour before being transported to hospital by ambulance and not helicopter.
I was in the ambulance with Claudio to speak with him, ha was very frightened and in shock
I confirm that In the place of the fall there was no children!!!
I was very impressed by Aaron, has always been quiet, spoke with doctors and never complained of anything. I did not think he had done so bad.
Good luck Aaron and good luck to all skaters involved in the fall.
Hey there D2Tha…, I think you can also use the same # from the USA
ok, thanks.
