Document Summary
Brooke was cycling down a hill in city creek canyon in salt lake city when he collided with an oncoming bicycle around a blind curve, catapulting him onto the mountain path. His helmet cracked just above the left temple, meaning brooke fell directly on his head, and his body followed in a grotesque somersault that broke his neck at the top of the spine. He stopped breathing, turned purple and might have died if a flight-rescue nurse didn"t happen to jog by. The jogger resuscitated and stabilized him, and someone raced to the bottom of the canyon to call 911. By the time peggy arrived and saw her husband ensnared in the life-sustaining machinery he hoped to avoid, decisions about intervention already had been made. She didn"t know yet that brooke would end up a quadriplegic, paralyzed from the shoulders down.
