Well where I live is rather rural and pretty much wooded and the test track I worked at was way out in the middle of nowhere. I was coming back from dinner and drinks and there was a person on the side of the road waving me down. It was a lady that was in full snowmobiling gear. He husband had crashed his sled and rolled it down about a 30 ft ditch. Of course there was no cell service for my primitive phone at the time, so I told the secretary, who was catching a ride with me to take my truck and head to the track and call an ambulance. So I slid down the hill to the ditch and he was pinned under the sled. In trying to figure out how to get it off him safely I had pulled off my gloves. dug around him a bit and I lifted the sled enough for his wife to slide him out. He was awake but hurting pretty good. I was an EMT at the time so I always had my jump kit in my truck, so I did what I could to stabilize him until the ambulance got there. I didn't even notice that I had lost them until I got home. I went back to the area in the spring after the snow melted, but no luck. I didn't bother ever wearing any again as I would probably just screw it up again, lol.
