It is understood she sustained multiple bruises, abrasions and a possible fractured hand.
The rider was stabilised and flown to Waikato Hospital.

I'm sorry but the real news is in naming the boofhead that authorised the heli. Certainly doesn't sound like a life threatening situation to me. So she lost some bark and bit of a wrist injury. Hell I got one of those at the beach volleyball and I was only watching! Didn't need a heli! Good grief!

...the answer I think is the fact that it was a MOTORCYCLIST and it makes for popular news, even on a slow day. What is sad is that if it is indeed a case of "over reaction" AND a woman ( I would have thought a motorcyclist was a motorcyclist regardless of gender)...however I do hope the comments from the article is correct and just a "possible" fractured hand. But, it makes up the rather skewed statistics in regard to accident stats re. motorcyclists, either on a public road or a private one such as this. That beach volleyball tho...beware of low flying helicopters on the prowl :)
