Oucher. If it wasn't for your second chin swallowing the impact it could have been a lot worse. Get better soon man.

going to go get one now ive learned that even if a chain breaks you can go over the bars

chain breaks are never pretty. I always thought the worst was when you are cranking as hard as you can up a hill. Like the kind where you are actually pulling against the handlebars in order to get a hard enough push. I did that, and my chain snapped. My knee soon met a world of pain against the bars. This photo proves this wrong though.

this is like my 8th break 5 of them i was going i was faking and going to pull out and they snapp and i land on my feet i have 2 where i was just getting going and they snapped and this one was with some speed so i went over the bars and on my face

Half links allow you to fine tune your chain length better. Also, all chains stretch - but half links more than regular design. And I don't see the stretching as too much of a problem because it stops after a few rides. I have total faith in my halflink chain.

half links are the answer when your slammed to the teeth
