Once for a two broken bones in my left hand -- pinky knuckle and base of #4.






(Once for a broken wrist from the only time I have ever rollerbladed.)

Wait, scratch that, only two concussions, not three, so I'm at six...let's rehash...all this in the course of 5 years.

1) Broken hand #1
2) Concussion #1
3) Broken rib
4) Concussion #2
5) Stitches in palm after messing up DJing
6) Broken hand #2. Hit by car. Pins required.

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
Hmmm...none for me personally (I did have knee surgery that was probably related to biking but there was no er visit for it), but I have been there with Sq-Earl a few times (2-3 stitch sessions and a broken wrist and a torn shoulder muscle that required surgery) and with a few other friends as well ;)

Just once - three stitches in the knee while riding with NARLUS.
a cut big enough to only require 3 stitches does not warrent a hospital visit. c'mon dude!

i've been lucky. hopefully i can keep it that way...

(allthough after posting in this thread, i'm sure it will happen :( )
