Shattered left elbow, 3 pins and surgery, got concussed so bad once that doctors told me I’d have memory loss and would have severe damage if I hit my head again, I still get dizzy sometimes it was 4 years ago.. 16 feet straight down in a bowl, landed on my nose which went down the bowl wall and slingshoted my face into the floor, cost me 6 stitches and a partial eyebrow (to this day lol) also no feeling in my shins anymore, scared beyond belief, child protective services was once contacted by the school I was going to thinking I was being abused at home from shin injuries????????

broken right clavicle. no plate or screws for some reason. it healed in a bit of a twist at the snapping point. now my right scapula sits slightly off normal position and sometimes my shoulder dislocates forwards. i have to get my suit jackets altered to fit. my right arm hangs lower and i can't feel hot or cold in my hand too well to this day. shoulder clicks and pops on rotation.
... i think she's fked boys! there goes my MLB career Facepalm

most of the nerve damage and soreness has gone away after ten years. i still have to visit a physio every spring and every time i decide to start going to the gym again.

i need to find a doctor to convince them it's medically necessary to get my shoulder imaged and examined by an orthopaedic specialist.

Fractured 3 vertebrae in one crash, snapped my femur in 2 places in another. Tough call, but if I had to go through either again I'd probably do my back. Still can't decide if I'd rather have my experiences or or Thunder Nugget's though. lol

Sent a pretty big jump freshly built never hit before. Came up about 3 feet short of the landing and sprained both ankles and a bit of whip lash. Screwed up the landing a bit. Wasn't too bad but still hurt.

To spare y’all, I’m not gonna go into too much detail, but basically this was my helmet afterwards:
My Helmet after slamming into a tree and losing my brakes in 2019. It saved my life but I had a concussion and had to be in my bedroom for months

^^Sweet zombie jesus, that looks horrible, what the hell did you do? I'm intrigued...

This was me last november, it's all good now, just not straight... pretty much like it is on this x ray. Doesn't bother me much though.

Yeah, so I lost my rear brake, and thought it would be fine. I swerved out of control, and hit a tree. Hard. I had a GoPro but it was literally smashed to bits. I don’t remember it, but my friend does, and he said that he thought I had been shot because of how much debris from my helmet, and go pro flew all over the place. I was in a coma for a while, and had to stay in a dark room for a month because of how severe my concussion was. Something weird is how there were little lumps, and bumps all over the helmet where the foam compressed. I can email, or text you more pics of the helmet if you want...

Nah, I'm good, that's scary enough as it is - thanks for elaborating though!
When it comes to brakes, there was never an occasion when i thought that losing the rear would work out in my favor... ever.
