Had the craziest mountain biking wreck today

Oh the fun, I had a bad MTB crash 4 years ago. forgot to press on the second mogul that was in a turn and flew... Off the trail. And crashed hard, left hand hit first, I cut my left hand with a deep gash and broke my wrist, shoulder hit second and my head hit last, split the helmet and was concussed.

Was so amped up on adrenaline so much that I jumped back on the bike right away(with a very bent front wheel) and road for another 1/4 mile before is stopped, realized that I was going the wrong way, stopped and walked off the trail.

Didn't realize the wrist was broke for 2 weeks, it wasn't bad but still.

I had that adrenaline feeling too.  I still had about 700 ft to drop and a half mile to go but somehow made it.  I was with 2 friends, one had a med-kit so was able to avoid anything more crazy.

Thank god I had my bad MTB crash when I was a teenager and made of a combination of rubber and steel. If I had the same crash today, I feel like I'd be in a back brace and have my jaw wired shut.

 

Likewise I went over the handlebars, broke my wrist while breaking my fall, and went chin-first into a rock. At the time I just remember thinking, "God after all that fuggin time wearing braces, I hope I didn't lose any teeth!" I thought my blood geyser of a chin was my worst injury, and I was so hopped up on adrenaline that I finished the ride without realizing my wrist was broken. It wasn't till I got home and realized, "Gee, was my hand always catty-corner to my arm like that?" that I decided it was time to go get mom.

 

My jaw still clicks when I talk.

 

Fug mountain biking.
