poll: How's your collar bone?

[Bear]

As ot says in the title really. I've noticed that this seems to be one of the most popular injuries for bikers, so I'm wondering who's is still straight and clean, and who has a knackered one!

[the_lone_wolf]

mine is thus far unscathed

**crosses fingers and waits for the lightning bolt from above...**

bear, this is just asking for trouble. the bear hug is enough to make people crash on the way home from soho. you are tempting fate here!;)

mine's fine by the way, but i know of 2 that aren't in australia.

[Bear]

Mine's already fooked by the way.

[dirtydog]

Mine is as God intended although it was nearly re-modelled a couple of years ago in a small excursion down the road, got away with a dislocated shoulder instead

[rigor]

I've "improved" mine twice now :p Both falling off the bike, both the same one, in exactly the same place (I'm not going there again, Badom tish!) Slightly lumpy now, and I can tell when bad weather is coming :)

[Richie]

I broke mine in 1990 Bungy Jumping in New Zealand...

My collarbone(s) have never been broekn, But they are wonky, I seem to have developped lopsided. Possibly caused by sleeping on one side? Possibly caused by holding my rucksack by one strap on the same shoulder for years and years through school?

lol

I'm turning hunchback, leaning over lab benches in the chem labs all day

And my girlfreind claims I sit a bit too much to one side on the bike, but when i sit what should be normal, it feels wrong

I like being assymetric

[northwind]

Not done that one yet.

[maff]

nowt wrong with mine

[the_runt69]

Broke mine playing rugby for the school 30 odd years ago

[Jabba]

Both of mine are straighter than my nose :lol:

[Luckypants]

Mine are as god intended.

The reason it's 'popular' injury is that you put out your hands to stop you falling..... mountain bikers and road cyclists also list this as a very popular injury. Both my ex's are wonky after being an MTB racer.

[Razor]

I've broke mine 3 times, first time in 2 places, then a single break and then the double snap again for the third time thus far. Only 2 of those were from biking incidents.

! How?

[Bluewolf]

Another candidate for the "high speed adjustment" here. Somersaulted over a Peugeot at 60mph and snapped it on landing. :smt088 It healed fine though so no surgery or painful after effects for me. :D

[Pedrosa]

Those of us with "manly" shoulders dont get probs with match stick like collarbones.:p

*Says a silent prayer hoping he has not just tempted fate.*

My wife says the same thing about me that I sit lopsided on the bike. I'm like uh?
Same as you dude, if I sit so that she says I look straight it feels really strange, with left arm straight and right arm bent and a feeling like I'm hanging a butt cheek off the seat!!
I can't ride properly like that, if I sit like she says I'd crash!

Collar bones intact cos although I like to have a bit of fun I always err on the side of caution. I think my bones are made from rubber too cos I have fallen off a slide, out of a tree, off a pushbike at 35mph and a motorbike, and fallen down stairs, so yep rubber!

[Ace-T]

Does falling off your bed when you were 9 and your parents not believing you had dislocated your collarbone count? No? Ok.:)

Jees, just realised that was nearly 30 years ago. Doncha just love a mid life crisis :D

Trace :)

[Jester666]

I have a particularly fooked right collar bone thanks to a 50mph elbow down incident!!

[Jester666]

I broke mine in 1990 Bungy Jumping in New Zealand...

Body harness? Or connected with the ground? Or did you grab the rope?

[kwak zzr]

i'll try and get a picture of mine today from the hospital:)

[Pedro68]

My collar bones are the way God intended :)

Although during my two "offs" my hands appear to be the last thing to leave contact with the bike, and so they weren't available to me for "stopping" me hitting the ground ... my elbow and my side (and my rucksack) took the brunt of the impact with the road.

[Stu]

So how did that happen? you hit something or just the rope breaking your fall was enough? :shock:

[thor]

I hit the ground at 20mph. Was a bit disapointed TBH!

[keithd]

broke mine twice, but as a nipper playing football

HTH

[cuffy]

Broken once on the rugby pitch, still doesn't feel right and that was 10 years ago :D
