craddock 0 #26 December 30, 2014 Accident prone? Nah just unlucky maybe? 3 broken Clavicles 1 Scapula 2 Navicular(wrist) 1 radius 1 ulna distal tib/fib (Pilon fracture) another distal tib (Pilon) w/o fib 2cm displaced 6" vert Tibial Plateau ligament with accompanying tears 1 displaced major toe (more painful than one would think) 1 greater tuberosity all separate injuries. And then there are the fingers, knuckles, little toes, orbital bone and ribs. Plus some pieces of vertebrae. Would you really call that accident prone? That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craddock 0 #33 December 31, 2014 JohnMitchell *** Would you really call that accident prone? Sounds like a very busy, active life. Pretty much but there are some that would judge just based on reading a list and think I am just clumsy or lack talent for my activities. Reality is in some sports the higher the level you attain the more you expose yourself to injury. My tibial plateau is a prime example. Leading MX race almost wire to wire lapping half the field but right before a huge downhill on last lap and after being caught and in a battle with a local rider a lapped rider heard us coming and may have not known their was two of us. He moved over and clipped me right on the takeoff of a huge downhill that we were landing down in braking bumps. I should have gave him more room. Lappers should hold their line. It is what it is but nothing I could do to save it once contact was made. I landed crossed up with my bike down in the braking bumps. Riding in traffic, in mud trying to triple as fatigue sets in and track condition change can lead to crashes. One injury was training for a sno-x race. BMX as a kid. Half pipes, skateboards ect. Dislocated shoulder after doing a backdeep barefoot start and didn't see a wave and went down wrong. On and on. Never had a major injury snow skiing despite the terrain and speed I like to ski. Point is it is easy to look at someones injury list and say they should not take a sport up like skydiving because they are clumsy and injury prone when there is more to it. That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChristianT 0 #36 January 1, 2015 I have never broken a single bone in my body that I'm aware of(Knock on wood!). I did however rip my ACL to shreds while making a snowboard bigjump a tad bigger than it needed to be. I came in on the kicker way to fast and overshot the landing hill for a much more exiting flat landing at the bottom... Best part is I tried to walk it off, I got about five steps Before hearing my knee make a somewhat alarming crackling sound. At that moment I decided it would be a better idea to sit on my board and ride it down. I also Have had a couple of knocks to the head resulting in some blood and sanityloss, and this may be the reason I took up skydiving... Also: Yay, my first post on this forum In the words of the late great Douglas Adams: Don't panic! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craddock 0 #41 January 2, 2015 For the record I never actually soaked it in anything. The rumor merely started when people realized I didn't get the joke. After the crash I went to a bar to check in see if I still had my unit intact as I was in a lot of pain I proceeded to get very intoxicated. When I woke up sore and hungover I looked outside at the totaled sled(I hit a snow bank from a plowed track for a car ice le mans race while running across the lake outdriving my headlight), and after examining the damage I went to take a leak. If you put a garden hose nozzle on the spray setting was the best way to describe what happened. I hit everything but the toilet. Walls, floor, ect. I had forgot about the injury to that area and had not even looked at it when I started to pee. The entire thing was black and blue with shades of yellow, the end was ripped open further and scabbed over. It was very ugly indeed.
