Thats just sick!!! :wtf:

But I definetly laughed. :rofl:

Was that just a flesh wound or was there any ligament and tendon damage? And what were they doing to pull that one? Best wishes on a speedy recovery.

Dayum bro--that must've been a burly crash!!!!

In New Zealand. Therefor it was 'just a scratch'.

Word is, he completed the ride with brake still attached. All he had to do to brake was pull his whole hand back.

When I saw the X ray I thought he took an X ray with his hand over a brake lever.

Boy was I wrong!

Good job putting the X ray first

Yup, obviously it was the brake's fault. This definitely would not have happened with any other brake brand :rolleyes:

I hope one day my next (inevitable) serious crash makes it into the local paper. What a trophy this guy has!

Dude, healthcare is more or less free in New Zealand. No insurance needed.

bizutch · Apr 13, 2010

I'd think the brake manufacturer would link to the article as a testament to durability.

Hope: Strong levers

Though if the brakes had worked better.... the crash might not have happened.

jk. I loved my hopes
