Mathew Brown called in to Cessnock Ambulance Station on Monday to meet the paramedics who attended the scene.

Mr Brown spent 10 weeks in hospital, including 13 days in a coma, after the accident on Broke Road on May 30.

He swerved to avoid hitting a kangaroo, crashed into a tree and landed three metres down an embankment.

He was riding with a group of friends, who called triple-zero.

Cessnock paramedics Keely Bridge and Jason Sattler were first on the scene, with Luke Hofman and Matt Stephenson not far behind.

The paramedics worked to stabilise Mr Brown - who suffered serious injuries including a smashed pelvis, a fractured spine, and a collapsed lung.

With the help of Cessnock District Rescue Squad volunteers, he was transported to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, which had landed nearby, and was flown to Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney.

After hearing his condition had deteriorated in the chopper, the local paramedics said they feared the worst for Mr Brown.

So they were pleasantly surprised when his father reached out last month to let them know how he was recovering.

"Hearing from him is a big thing for us, it's a big morale boost," Mr Hofman said.

"It helps us as much as we helped him that day, to know that we used our skills to save his life - that's what we're here for.

"To see him come in, that's awesome.

"It's good for us to know that we could come to work tomorrow and do the same thing again."

Mr Brown, who turned 26 while he was in hospital, was also meant to get married in June.

He doesn't remember anything from the day of the accident.

"All I know is I went to bed that night, and woke up 13 days later," he said.

He says he knows how lucky he is, and he just wants thank everyone who helped him.

Mr Sattler said it was a big team effort, and a combination of factors that helped Mr Brown's situation.

"Coming off the bike was terrible, but everything else was in his favour," he said.

"It was witnessed, we had good information coming through, crews available, good first aid, the rescue squad and the chopper."

Mr Brown and his parents also visited Cessnock District Rescue Squad late last month, shortly after he was discharged from hospital.

Rescue squad spokesperson James Harris said the visit meant a lot to the volunteers.

"It's not very often we see or hear from the people we assist, and it is not why our great group of volunteers do what they do, but it is always nice to hear from people we have helped in their time of need," he said.

"It gives our volunteers some closure to that particular incident, as well as a sense of satisfaction that someone you helped save their life is standing in front of them."
