All are going to be ok
All three are out of the hospital. Sara may still require shoulder surgery. Doctor wants to hold out. Both Sean (Deke) and Greta suffered concussions and bumps and bruises, but will be ok. All three were thrown from their bikes. This accident woke me up to why to wear good riding gear. All three were and all three will survive. Not sure that could have been said without proper helmets, gloves, jackets, pants, boots etc.
I would personally like to shout out to everyone for the thoughts, prayers, and concerns. God is good for sure. Ryde safe!

Accidents within your own group to me are the worst to see. Because you re all brothers and sisters. Take a riding course, always refresh your skills. I know I will be.

Root cause of accident?
So glad that everyone made it through this accident alive. Our Thoughts and prayers are with you.
It would be really good if we could find out, if possible, what caused the accident and how it could have been avoided. Details of this situation would greatly be appreciated could be a valuable "lesson learned" for all of us and perhaps help avoid a future accident. I have been involved in safety issues for many years in the course of my job. Many times, "drilling down" ,into the circumstances prior to the incident can reveal the way to avoid a repeat incident for others. Not saying anyone involved in this made mistakes, some accidents are totally unavoidable and are caused by things beyond our control. All of us will appreciate any information we can get.
Best wishes and get well soon,
Stan

VERY glad to know that all will be ok. Thank goodness they were all geared up. Something to seriously think about for those that don't wear gear, or only wear a helmet. Hopefully nothing will ever happen, but if anything does, I for one want to give myself and my wife the best chances possible. All the gear all the time.

Glad everyone is going to be alright. I too always try and learn from accidents as to what could be done, so that it does not happen to me or the people that I am riding with.

Glad all will be ok too, prayers out to them. I've got new found respect for Spyders now since owning and riding. The surge of power you get when you roll the throttle back hard is pretty amazing and you have to be prepared for it instead of surprised, not that it had anything to do with this accident, just in general. We hope all make full recovery and can get back to riding.

I guess I'd like to know if this was a case of three bikes getting wadded-up, because the formation was too close together?

Could be Bob, I used to ride the "Run for the Wall" to Washington and after a few years I stopped running with the group ( I started running ahead of the group or behind to enjoy the run ). Anyone who has participated in this knows how intense the situation is with hundreds of bikes riding in close formation at interstate speeds. I greatly respect the purpose of the RFTW but found that I can support it without the stress and concern of close formation riding.
I am not as young as I use to be and I am sure my reflexes have slowed (of course we don't want to admit that).

I hope they all recover quickly. It doesn't take much to run into the rear of the guy in front
when riding close. (Don't ask!)

Amen; Brother!

When I go on tour with a bunch of other bikes we always run at 3 second intervals (at a minimum). That gives everyone time to re-act, plus these are guys (and gals) that have ridden together for years, so we all pretty much know each others strengths and weaknesses. That said, there's no sense speculating until we know
