I took a fall at Mountain Creek at the end of June with my front tire sliding out on a berm.
It was extremely dry and dusty and happened really fast. My feet didn't even come off the pedals nor my hands off of the handlebar (I think). It resulted in a bruised thigh (landed directly on my phone), bruised shoulder, bruised ego, and a broken thumb (Bennet's fracture). I fell on my left side but broke my right thumb.??
Got the pins out and the cast off on Monday and am taking things slow.
However, I'm suddenly wondering if my 661 wrist wrap, the one with the strap that goes between your thumb and pointer finger may have been part of the cause.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Or any recommendations for recovering from a broken thumb?
Of course, my right wrist is now very weak but I'm wondering if I should ever put the support back on as a result of this injury...
