Bike/Quad related injuries

[fletchman919]

With motocross going bigger and badder, freestyle getting totally insane, weekend warriors going balls out, and engineers finding more ways to get our adreneline flooding our veins, I'm curious how many riding related injuries the average rider has had and what they are. I'm pretty sure the collar bone has got to be at or near the top. I have had seven major injuries throughout the years. I hope I'm done. Left ankle-torn ligament; left knee/leg-torn ligaments and tendons and broken bone; left shoulder-torn rotator cuff; right shoulder- sublexation; unattached colon; and two concusions.

broken scaffoid bone in my left wrist. last weekend i tore a few muscles but that isnt really anything, i have the xray from my wrist before the screw was put in

do BMX injuries count?? i got a whole fukin stack of shit from that, but have yet to wipe out really hard on my quad or dirt bike. The only thing so far is some stitches (do it at home med kit) and a chipped bone in my left forearm.
as far as BMX:collarbone two different times, lots o concussions,torn ligaments, dental work, and everybody's favorite:that fukin shot of cortizone the doc puts directly into your knee while you think of the slowest, most painful way for him to die.
BTW, what is an unattached colon and how the hell you manage to do that?
They almost took out my spleen one time, but it wasn't ruptured badly enough, but that's nuthin like an unattached colon

went to englishtown new quad track a few years ago with my old shee hit a nice table top came down and put my hand clean thru the clutch lever and broke my Scaphoid bone in my hand and have two screws and a pin in my hand...

Seperated my right shoulder and cracked a few ribs. My buddy put a handlebar into his leg but it stopped when it hit the bone. This happened within 2 hours. We both got rides to the ER but went riding again the next day. Gotta love painkillers and beer! Does cutting your leg all up with a 2 stroke chainsaw count?

lol i remember that chainsaw incident. still have pictures of it? hows it looking now?

ahhh, the scaphoid seems to be at the top of the list.
i broke my scaphoid nosing into a double that i underestimated...no screws or pins...i refused it, wrist still hurts like hell if i hit something that jars the handlebars hard.
broke 4 ribs hitting a drainage ditch head-on at abouts 60mph.
torn shoulder lig from same incident
whooped a huge knot on my head doing 5th gear donuts on ice and hitting the 1 single lone rock sticking up out of the ice, catapulting me head first onto a rock solid sheet of ice...with no helmet.
f-ed up ankle, jumping a sand berm, foot slipping off peg and going into the front tire upon landing, bought nerfs after that. never had it checked out...just couldnt walk on it for 2 weeks.
