It was my mother's birthday, and the whole family was on our way to a restaurant for a birthday celebration. In the car I had my U2-Ultra, my AZ2 strobe model [Note: strobe version discontinued --Ed.] a new E1B Backup^®, which was a birthday gift for my mother. As we approached a junction, all hell broke loose a motorcyclist got hit by a car, and the car just drove away. My mother and sister started shouting hysterically. I quieted them and then had my father drop my brother and me off, so we could attend to the motorcyclist.

Grabbing the AZ2-S and giving the U2 to my brother, we approached the motorcyclist. I tried to pull him to the side, out of the middle of the road, but his leg was pierced by metal slag of the bike. Concerned he would be hit by oncoming cars, my brother and I set out on either side of him to warn approaching cars that he was there: me with my AZ2-S's strobe flashing; him with the U2 on maximum output. Approaching drivers saw our signals slowed down a good 60 yards away. After about 25 minutes, medical help finally arrived and took the man to the hospital. We went to the restaurant and, once there, I presented my mother with her gift, the E1B. My mom was touched and started to cry, saying, "Thank you, Angel. Thank you for the guardian angel!" Now she has her own SureFire "guardian angel" protecting her.
