I once ran through the woods in the dark to rescue my sister who got her foot caught between two logs while we were hiking. I tripped over a branch and fell to my knees. It was a swampy area so when my left knee got very wet immediately, I didn't think anything of it. It hurt a little but I thought I must have hit another log or something. I quickly found my sister, got her foot free and help her back to the house. As we got into the lighted area I noticed that the wet spot was very dark. When we got to the house I discovered the wet spot was a 5" section of blood. There was a tear in my jeans and underneath was 2" very deep gash in my knee. It was bleeding profusely and pressure wasn't stopping it. My other sister called my parents who were visiting neighbors. They took me to the emergency room where I got ten stitches. There were a lot of discarded bottles in the woods from occupants of an old house that had burned down years before we moved into ours. So I must have fallen onto some broken glass. So, no it is not a good idea to run through the woods with low visibility. :-D Ps.that was in upstate NY.

Thank goodness @roswellrockman your love for your sister must have numbed every pain and perhaps all the adrenaline. You must be your sisters hero
Point taken! You should have told me first and I could have avoided my mishap!
