Event Description
My husband and i were out for a ride with his new rio mobility dragonfly handcycle.We arrived upon a hill and it was hard for him to continue up the hill and he came to a stop, he went to shift down a few gears, but started rolling backwards and panicked.When he reached for the hand grip on the right side his right index finger got pinched in-between the bike chain and the top crank-gear (much like the primary gear on a regular bicycle).Fortunately he did not break any bones in his finger, however he did break a tendon and tore up the skin on his finger pretty badly, and required a trip to the emergency room and will need surgery for the tendon.This could have been prevented if they had a better safety cover over the chain and crank gear mechanism.I feel this only happened because he panicked, but could definitely happen in the future.I am also going to contact the mfr directly.Injury info: injury, emergency department treatment received.(b)(4).Purchase date: (b)(6) 2015.(b)(4).
