    Jeez! Ever thought of a less dangerous past time than mountain biking? Like swimming with sharks, or sky diving without a parachute whilst strapped to a murderer. That's quite a list.
    And compond fractures...oh, I saw a few of those during football games, not a pretty sight.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    Mountain biking can be really dangerous, especially when you're throwing yourself off huge verts onto piles of rocks or into quarries. Tbh alot of my injuries have been done while getting my confidence up on my bike when I was younger, not getting my ass far enough back over the saddle, leaning too far into bends etc.

    I've seen a few compound fractures.... I agree, not pleasant.

    Also.... nearly sliced thumb off with stanley blade (fantastic scar on right hand), smashed face in numerous times on bike, ripped several ligaments tendons and muscles and had stupid number of stitches and industrial sized dressings....

    Basically, I'm a liabilty.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Try taking something you can get from heath shops called Rhus-Tox, all natural and brings out bruising :D

    Just wondering, as I'm laid up here in the age old male tradition of wearing a bag of frozen peas on my foot!
    Seems in my ever more pathetic desire to stay young and fit, I have probably broken a bone, somewhere just between the ball of my foot and my big toe.
    It's a strange kind of pain, like a dull ache, and throbbing....ouchie!

    I broke my toe last night too (snap!). Bashed it really hard against the corner of my sofa and this morning its completely black and feels like its gonna fall off :o

    That's spooky. You got peas? My toe is just starting to discolour, it's ok as long as I don't touch it or try and move it, or put it to the floor. I tried to put my shoe on earlier......bad move!
