Guys,
Pat will be kept in the local hospital overnight for observation. He was unconcious briefly and banged his left leg. I am still waiting to find out if anything is broken, but it does not appear so.
The decision to let Pat continue with the damaged wing was a calculated risk. Given the situation with the points chase, Pat was unwilling to come in and spend the time fixing it. Additionally, there was every possibility that the wing would hold until the end. Obviously it didn't.
