Rescue 911 - ATV Barbed wire

[@pauldickson6858]

I had a very similar accident back in August of 1999 when I was four-wheeling with my cousin on his atv. I crashed through a barbed-wire fence also. My accident wasn't as severe as Kevin's but it did leave a huge permanent scar on my neck. I'm grateful I survived and nothing severe happened to me, such as having damaged vocal cords or damaged esophagus.

Geez, when Kevin hit the barbed wire, I got a horrible flashback to 2008, when my dad hit the barbed wire fence while out mowing; the zero-turn mower itself didn't respond when he tried to stop, and hit the fence hard. He had surgery to replace his bones; the hole in his leg was massive and went down to the bone. It's a miracle he still has his legs, and all he needed was a metal bone

[@robbyosborne9708]

That's awful. I'm glad he survived.

[@flyinjakesvarioustopics]

Besides "Toddler Glass Save," this episode was the scariest I have ever seen. God was with Kevin that day, and he had those paramedics at the right place at the right time. I hope you are doing alright, Kevin. God bless you.

[@alanhelton]

The fact that there was a battalion chief right there was pure intention from someone above. Battalion chiefs are the only one who can authorize the life flights. It really was a miracle he was there and able to call it prior to first responders in the area responding doing so. Those seconds were crucial.

Talk about having the right people at the right time. I knew a kid who fell off his horse and landed neck first on a fence and tore a large chunk out of his neck and face. He was by himself and had to walk about a mile through the woods back to his house before he got help. This was back around 96-97 so no cell phone. The doctor said had it cut about a quarter inch deeper he would have bleed out befor he ever made back to the house. He still has the scars but he's blessed to be alive .

[@alanhelton]

Obviously this is the first time I’ve ever seen a rescue 911 where the victim doesn’t speak to us at the end of the video. Just glad he is here.

Same here Alan.

Ik right

[@joeylamuel5828]

That, in itself, is amazing.

At the time this happened, I was 8 years old in second grade and my brother Andrew was 12 days away from his 6th birthday and in kindergarten. We lived in Fountain Hills, Arizona attending McDowell Mountain Elementary School.

Thank God That Kevin Live He Was So Bless

[@robbyosborne9708]

Yeah he was. Although it was sad that his voice box could not be fixed, it's better to lose your voice box than your life.

[@robbyosborne9708]

I've been looking for this episode for a LONG time! Thanks!

[@brunor.1995]

me too like a few years actually.

[@robbyosborne9708]

It's sad that Kevin's voice box could not be repaired. But it's better to lose the ability to speak properly than it is to lose the ability to live anymore.

His Grandma sister mom dad and Uncle and brother must be very happy to have their loved one with them and no I'm not trying to say they're all related because they're a country folk I'm actually trying to be sincere here it really did make me feel bad when you hit that fence I am glad he's doing OKI have the same speech impediment and I am honored to have it with him God bless him and his family

[@PrincessEli82]

When I saw what happened to Kevin, I was really afraid because I thought he would die. Barbed wire is very, very dangerous. 28 years have passed since this happened. I’m sure Kevin is forever in his rescuers’ debt.

[@robbyosborne9708]

I'm sure he is too.

[@capdefensor]

A thing worse than barbed wire are sharp kite wire, made with crushed glass and glue (here in Brazil is very common that kind of accident, specially with motorcycle drivers, almost all fatal and at neck position).

This happened to my brother when he was 13. He was tangled in the wires. Cuts all over.

Good thing they was an officer there talking with his friends and family, imagine what would happen if he wasn't there

It’s been 30 years since this happened. This happened on a Sunday. I have something to say about barb wire- it’s very, very dangerous. I’m sure you agree.

ATVs can be very dangerous. A friend of mine lost her dad to an ATV accident.

[@loganbeedy5950]

It’s not a atv it’s a atc better known as a three wheeler they don’t make those any more because a lot of people died on them

[@danielallen6914]

Atv is only as dangerous as the stupidity of the operator.

[@steveevon2513]

Great video

[@robbyosborne9708]

This horrific event took place in my home state and not far from where I live.

[@scotthayes4135]

He wasn't paying attention and didn't see the wire fence.

[@robbyosborne9708]

That's why you always got to watch where you're going at all times when you're driving any kind of vehicle.

[@marikiemarie7622]

Why are the comments so weird on the 911 shows.

i wonder if kevin regained his ability to talk since the accident

That's a good question.

How old was Kevin Wilson at the time of this incident?

[@myrahillen862]

They should've had Kevin speak! Oh well. I wanted to hear how he sounded.

[@robbyosborne9708]

He probably didn't want people to hear how he spoke since it sounded bad due to the fact that his voice box was gone.

[@blakewilson2559]

@@robbyosborne9708 You can hear him speak in the video when the doctor walks in and he pressed his hand to his throat. He says "I'm good, pretty good."

Barbed wire is usually used in prisons as ways to help prevent prisoners from climbing up in order to make their escape.

[@rjs2085]

None of them wearing helmets

[@hollymccurry0132]

Helmet would not of helped this injury and remember this was 1990 hardly anyone wore helmets

I guess he didn't want people to hear his bad sounding voice since his voice box was gone.

[@blakewilson2559]

Though he could make words and sentences, it took ALOT for him to talk any real amount. Most of the time it was short sentences or he would write for longer interactive conversations and play charades in a sense.

The cousin first staid his cousin couldn’t talk cause windpipe and jugular veins were all so severed later into the video when he was air lifted the cousin talks about his injured cousin said they were talking and his injured cousin told him not leave him.
