Silly injuries

[rovens]

How silly is this.

I crash my bike doing 60, slide, flip and roll into a hedge, i get straight up and my only injury was a small bruise on my arm and a sore foot for about 3days.

I play a nice gentlemanly game of cricket on friday and come away with a broken finger and a twisted knee thats swollen up so big i cantl walk properly cos it wont bend much or straighten completely.

In summary crashing motorbikes is safer than playing cricket. :laughboun

Binned it Friday the 13th. That will teach me for being an aethist. lol

I tell you what, im an athiest, and never believed in 'Friday the 13th' either, that was until the past friday 13th!

I dont get cricket, seems far too boring! I played paintball on sat the 14th, and came back with a bruised body....and the bruises looked like those sucker things on octopuses, they were gross!

Had two off's where I rolled along the floor a bit, worst injury though was at low speed, coming to a stop at a junction downhill, the front went into one of those old rounded storm drains and hit the kerb, I kept the bike up but had a 30 mile ride with two sprained wrists!

i broke my ankle in 8 places and had it sticking out of my skin.

how did i do this?

i was rockclimbing so that's quite cool

but i only fell a grand total of four feet which isnt very cool :shooter

(i caught a ridge on the way down yuk yuk yuk)

i now have 2 six inch plates and 16 screws for my troubles :grin2

at least when i hurt myself on my bike i was going for it and had a proper nice long tumble.

I bet if you had fallen from the top of the rock face you were climbing you would have been absolutely fine. This is my point.

Where were you climbing btw?

[harriebird]

in some armpit of a quarry in the Peak District, it wasnt even a proper mountain ffs....good job really! lucky i was also climbing with a 6 foot 6 paramedic so he could carry me to the car :grin2

Did one that was pure class about 8 weeks back, was at work stripping a wire back using some side cutters and was busy yapping to someone like normal not paying any attention to what I was doing, it was a tough little fecker this one and I was really putting some force on it when it snapped and I stabbed it straight into my eye.

Trip to southend A&E followed, I was quite lucky really, nothing more than a massive scratch on the eyeball and a bit of metal in my eyelid, only took about 2 weeks to get better.

I shattered my pelvis 3 years ago in a crash but I work with lads 10 years younger than me who are in real agony if the weathers cold/damp due to football related injuries. I think the cops should ignore bikers and spend Sunday mornings watching footballers "for their own safety" ;)
