Does anyone know how Harry's getting on, don't think he's been on here in a while? He was going in for an op/procedure?
Mobility scooters
- Thread starter Harry Bloomfield
- Start date
Someone contacted a camp site owner that knew him, very sadly the conclusion is that Harry has died

I've had insurance every year I've had my Class II/ III scooter.OK.
Although the latter seems wholly wrong - you could potentially inflict life-changing injuries on someone if you ride into them on a scooter. I know that statistically it's mobility scooter riders who are disproportionately victims of accidents, as are cyclists. But we saw a few years ago that cyclists can kill pedestrians.
And these didn't take long to find:
Taunton woman died after mobility scooter knocked her over
A coroner warned that the use of mobility scooters should be regulated to prevent future deaths.www.bbc.co.uk
Boy, 3, hit by mobility scooter and taken to hospital
Police say the man driving the grey mobility scooter was in his 60s and was of large build.
Insurance should be mandatory.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
But I had some idiot young woman last week walk into me while on her mobile phone then accuse me of running her over. I was stationary long before she walked into me. I even sounded the horn.
I'll have to get a dash cam now...

I must confess my heart fluttered when I saw this thread back at the top because I thought Harry had posted...
Thanks for the update, very sad news.

His last post here:
Whistled into theatre 9am, out cold for 90 minutes, and job, jobbed. I was then kept in for the rest of the day to keep an eye on me. I now have 4 holes in my belly, a pipe emerging, and very, very sore - but, I survived

I sent him a DM wishing him well as I believe he went to the same hospital in Manchester that my Dad did to have the same op.His last post here:
whilst i fully agree about the love we all have for a wonderful interesting person ........without knowing how much is based on actual fact and how much is based on reasonable assumptions i will reserve my genuine thoughts when i know nearer to 100% whats actually happened rather than more likely than not

He hasn't posted back here after his operation, and he didn't answer my DM.
He hasn't posted anything since.
That's very odd for someone who posted here very regularly.

yes i 100% agree but whilst the worst could be and indeed the most likely outcome would be probably terminal he could instead have a change off life choices where internet /family/hobbies/ have changed dramatically

Point taken, but I think, Harry being Harry, might have come here just to leave a note to explain that he was taking a break from the forum.
