Race Through Poland taking no prisoners

"Natalia Rudzka of pair 124 crashed hard on a rocky downhill trail near CP2. According to her riding partner Bartosz, who is a doctor, Natalia hit her head and it did look quite serious, so emergency services were called and she was airlifted off the mountain by helicopter. Everybody was very much concerned until after some hours, there was finally news that she got away with only bruises."
