Brideaux said the teen apparently lost control and struck his head.
After assessing his condition, paramedics requested STARS air ambulance attend for rapid transport to hospital.
The patient was flown to Foothills Hospital in Calgary in serious, potentially life-threatening condition.
Nakiska is about 100 kilometers west of Calgary.
