hal9e3 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Saw another post with injury pics so I thought I'd post mine. This is what happens when speed exceeds talent. Possible titles: "When Handlebar Met Sternum" "The Village Idiot" P.S. - they're real, and they're...well, not so spectacular:redface: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hal9e3 Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 Endoed on my MTB and centerpunched my sternum with the end of the handlebar - which, incidentally, had no bar end due to clipping a tree the previous week. I didn't think I'd broken my sternum or ribs but I've broken ribs before and not known it so I went to the ER that night to make sure everything was OK. After an X-ray, tetanus shot and CT scan I left the hospital with a relatively clean bill of health. Time in ER - 5 hours. There are a couple of cycling sayings that are applicable here: "If you're not bleeding when you finish you weren't riding hard enough" "If it doesn't keep you from riding it's not a serious injury" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hal9e3 Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 Nice one that must felt great!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, as is often the case with injuries like this its severity (read PAIN) was not evident until after I finished riding, even tho this occurred about 1/3 of the way in. Adrenalin - good for what ails ya:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfxdave99 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Is it just me or with the angle and shape of the scar it looks like it could be a blurred logo for something..
