Nothing fancy, just really bad luck. Got my leg caught between the frame and the ground as I fell on it.. (Hit a rock or something hiding under the leaves, damn you autumn!!! )
I havnt been on this thread since my post a few months ago/back one page and only 2 injuries. Happy for riders, sad for my gore viewing. On a good note Im back on the bike. Road and light xc only but wooo fkn hooo injury shminjury! Good luck with everyones recovery and I hope it goes just as good as mine has. Ride on fellow pber's.
My son took a bad spill the other day. Good thing he had his helmet on or it might have been alot worse. Ended up with a concussion and 2 layers of about 40 stiches and a broken thumb. Lots of road rash also. Helmet was split and chunked up. He is already asking for a full face helmet so he can get back on the bike.

A few days ago, I decided I could get out in front of a car and make it across before I was hit... I was wrong
I have three punctures to my elbow, followed by a few minor lacerations. An abrasion to my finger, in my knee, the hospital had to dig out a pebble in yet another puncture, some abrasions, and a few more minor lacerations. At first, with my annoyance to needles, I didn't want them to put the numbing agent into my knee. But, that got quite painful, so they put it in, and the pebble was out. I also have a cut on my right leg. It's so weird how much the human body bleeds in such circumstances. My arm was covered in blood, and I was surprised at first how little my knee was bleeding, but the pebble was there, soo.... yeah. That's my story, I can't really get pics, and really they aren't that bad anymore, so I'm not going to put them up.
