Fell off a logride up at Powers and hit my arm on the end of a 2x4. Ended up with 8 internal stitches and 15 external.

You are so lucky it didnt go that extra bit...otherwise you would be bleeding to death....Not good.

Hope you get better soon bro.

My lucky day I guess haha. It was super close! The people at the hospital were amazed I didn't hit anything super important.

charlie079 (May 28, 2011 at 13:33)

Yeah, I think everyone is! How long till you can ride again?

virtumedia (May 28, 2011 at 17:00)

Not sure yet. Probably like a month or so.

BIGJoe29 (May 28, 2011 at 18:57)

ya dude really close to ur vein

mikeonetray13 (May 30, 2011 at 13:37)

casue veins are high pressure,,,,, no. you hit the artery it would of been bloody and it would of been a bad day

charlie079 (May 30, 2011 at 13:46)

A bad day??? He would probably be dead if he severed that artery, its one of the most major ones in your body.

mikeonetray13 (May 30, 2011 at 14:12)

not really, it more on the least important side... he would live for a couple hours if he just put pressure on it and kept it above his heart. now if he hit the artery in your leg called the femoral then he would be in deep dewdew

charlie079 (May 30, 2011 at 14:14)

Sorry mixed up how deep it is, there is a major artery running along your arm near there. And yeah, I think if you severed that you wouldnt stand much of your chance.

mikeonetray13 (May 30, 2011 at 20:02)

those blue things are arteries, ulnar and radial.

opie220 (Jul 13, 2011 at 13:52)

lol cutting the artery in your leg is bad news. when i cut mine the doctor said if i was there a few minutes later i would have died from blood loss. but nasty cut bro.

mikeonetray13 (Jul 13, 2011 at 14:13)

yeah the femoral one is more imprtant. the arm is not so life threating haha
