Just been speaking to Ian....
Basically there was an uplift day but this lad was not booked on, hadn't paid and hadn't signed the disclaimer so shouldn't have been riding.
After the last run of the day he got a lift to the top off a mate and crashed on the last berm - this was after most people had gone home.
He was taken to hospital with a suspected broken rib. He wasn't even wearing any armour.
The boss of the lad called to find out where he was and found out he was in hospital and called the police.
The police did a follow up of the call and went to see Ian - they found that Ian had everything in place, correct Insurance, First aider on course while people were riding (this lad should not have been riding nor riding after everything had finished)
Nobody is suing anybody and the police left satisfied that Ian had done everything correctly.
The only time people can ride is with permission and with a first aider on hand.
The uplift run by myself will go ahead as planned and with a first aider on course while the uplift is running.
Nobody should ride Caersws except on an official uplift days like I run where there is First Aiders and Insurance in place or with Ian's permission and again with a first aider

also with the issue of the uplift by some act in 195,, sumin i cant remeber of the top of my head that a steward or sumsort should have escorted everyone off the premisises at the end of the uplift to prevent such circumstances this then also opens up were there enough marshals if people were getting on the uplift truck without paying . and also who is acounting for the riders that decide to get to the top and turn around and ride other tracks with no marshals , 
??
