Hope he's had a few terrible "accidents" since then.
i pulled this nail out of my tire riding a local multi-use trail. 16 penny. i can't even imagine the shit storm if a horse would have stepped on this and broke it's leg. where i picked it up was on a very sketchy switch-back mountain trail with complete exposure to cliffs below. it could have been really really bad. i saw it just as i was about to go over it, it was in a row of a few more propped up and held down with some dirt to form a spike-strip.
This was local to me and could quite easily have been me, i rode near the same spot this guy died and i know the person who put the wire up
