Way O.T. here but oppinions needed.

Snowmobiling with a new friend and he says " want to try my sled?" (Note to self: Say NO!) Well I said sure. You probably know where this is going so I wont bore you with the details.

I take off down the trail, him on mine, and proceed to try and chop down a tree with it. I misstook his left hand throttle for the brake! That is I balled it up bad, totalled. Luckily I came out without any broken bones, just chipped teeth, sore kneck and thighs. For this I am very thankful.

He has insurance but says he made a claim last year on a sled he totalled, and says they will drop him. I guess he has auto and home with them as well.

If I could I would by him a new one I really would. I dont have that kind of money. About $7000 I would guess. I told him I would check with my coverage and they say no go, insurance claims follow the vehicle.

So, I can really only offer paying his deductible, maybe a little more, $1000 total? It was an accident. I feel sick to my stomach still.

Anybody been there done that? What did you do or work out?

Thanks for letting me vent.
