Dallas Taylor (Maylene, ex-Underoath) badly injured in crash

Dallas Taylor, vocalist of Maylene and the Sons of Disaster and co-founder of Underoath, was seriously injured in an ATV accident in Florida yesterday. According to his brother, Rhett, he was airlifted to a regional trauma center:
"Thoughts and prayers for my brother, Dallas. He been airlifted to the trauma center at Shands. He was in a serious 4 wheeler accident at our house wearing no helmet and hit a sign. It doesn't look very good. I love him."
Several hours later, Rhett Taylor issued this update:
"I think hes going to be okay. He's still unconscious. They said he'll be in the hospital for quite a while. He has tons of broken stuff, lacerations, internal bleeding and head injuries though. I just spoke with my family and it looks like he'll pull through. Please don't bombard the hospital. I'm sure he'd love to see everyone but he isn't even conscious at this point."
In the interim, a Gofundme campaign has been launched to assist with Taylor's forthcoming medical expenses. UPDATE: Maylene and the Sons of Disaster issued the following update this afternoon:
"Dallas is making basic touch responses like hand squeezing and slight movement. He is not awake, but is showing signs of improvement. They have been running neurological tests and he is set to go into surgery this afternoon to repair the multiple broken bones in his arm."

75K GOAL?! ARE THEY REBUILDING HIM WITH A GOLD LEG?

anonymous 8/3/2016 7:44:56 AM

^^^^ Clearly you know nothing of the power of the million dollar man. Dallas Underoath was cool but doesn't come close to comparing to how amazing they were after he left. Maylene sucks. Hope he pulls through

anonymous 8/3/2016 7:49:46 AM

Lmao muh fcka said give him a 75k golden leg .... Haha had me rolling.... Carry on... Also I wish him well

anonymous 8/3/2016 1:56:48 PM

pretty stupid to not wear a helmet but america needs to get with the rest of the industrialized world and provide healthcare for everyone. Or they can continue to spend some of the highest on an expensive system. fiscal conservatism. lol

anonymous 8/3/2016 2:04:34 PM

Can I just send a check in the mail?

anonymous 8/3/2016 2:16:43 PM

Heeeeere's your sign. Love, Bill Engvall

anonymous 8/3/2016 3:09:56 PM

has someone started a GoFundMe for the sign he hit? how come nobody thinks of the innocent sign victim?

anonymous 8/3/2016 3:36:09 PM

"america needs to get with the rest of the industrialized world and provide healthcare for everyone" You're a millenial in $100k debt from an art criticism degree. Pay for your own shit you worthless gay.

anonymous 8/3/2016 3:42:03 PM

unconscious, tons of broken stuff, lacerations, internal bleeding and head injuries. he's fine though? he's either tough or his brother has no care ever.

anonymous 8/3/2016 3:52:10 PM

anonymous 8/3/2016 9:09:21 PM

Underoath truly helped me through the hard times. *donates $5

anonymous 8/3/2016 10:44:55 PM

Prayer for Dallas (Dallas, TX...not Dallas Taylor)

anonymous 8/4/2016 12:19:54 AM

Unless you're an Ozzy and you jump on a quad, you're gonna have a bad time.

anonymous 8/4/2016 5:39:07 AM

nobody wears a fcking helmet when you're riding 4 wheelers you protectionist retards

anonymous 8/4/2016 6:01:35 AM

Why don't you people just pray for him?

anonymous 8/4/2016 3:14:24 PM

what is it with rednecks and ATVs? Can't they just go bang chicks like a normal human being?

anonymous 8/5/2016 2:24:58 AM

40 minutes with a therapist at Kaiser = $460 $75k seems reasonable for all the stuff he needs. Unfortunately it looks like it was a serious accident Hope he gets well soon. Street team: Print the gofundme page and take it to churches around your area. Pretty sure someone there would like to donate.

anonymous 8/5/2016 6:03:24 AM

Where is your precious Jesus now ?

anonymous 8/8/2016 12:50:22 AM

medical bills are insane and if you've never had an injury you're lucky
