Broken collarbone
Dislocated shoulder(reoccurring injury)
Broken Wrist(left)
Broken hand (right)
3 Broken ribs
2 Mild concussions
and a partridge in a pear tree of lil cuts and bruises.

When I grow up I'm going to be arthritic!

I've been hurt so many times over the last 31 years that I wouldn't feel right unless some part of me was aching. I tore out both my knees ski racing when I was 16 and I sound like a bowl o' rice krispies whenever I walk up a flight of stairs. If you play, you'll pay(eventually) is the way I look at it and I don't regret a second of it.

You can all go to hell. I'll be joining you shortly and I'm bringing beer and cheetos.

I was just curious what happens to other dhers, thats all. BTW I have a 661 assault jacket, would it really be THAT much better if I got a dainese jacket for my birthday? I was thinking about it, only if it offers THAT much more protection over the 661 though.

Sounds like you guys need to learn how to ride your bike:lol:

j/k

I have been pretty lucky and have never seriously injured myself biking. I have only gotten a hair line fracture on the phibia from skiing which was about 3 years ago.

hopefully i will have another injury free year, knock on wood

I have also been pretty lucky. Lots of bruises spraigns and gashs, but no broken bones or really major things. The worst ive done was actually while building a trail, was dark and a bucksaw skipped onto my hand, severed the two ligiments to my index finger and cut into the bone, was pretty nasty, the plastic surgeon did a good job putting it all back together though. Its not as good as it was before, movement is probally 5% less, but hey thats how it goes sometimes.

Sprained MCL (twice)
Torn ACL
Torn Meniscus
Dislocated elbow

I always wear armour. I'm confident there would have been many more serious injuries without it.
