[edit] Helicopter accident

The newest member of the band, Ricky (Ricardo Guillermo Abarca), had to be hospitalized in September 2002 in Guatemala when four of his fingers were severed by a helicopter rotor - he had been waving to fans who came to greet the band. His fingers were found by aid workers and volunteers and re-attached at a hospital in Guatemala, Guatemala. [1]. The band broke up that year and some of the ex-members made a return in 2001 as X Magneto.
