Default So you think bikes are unsafe, try bathrooms



had an accident last Sunday, well it be more accurate i was 1/2 an inch of killing myself


i slipped while in the shower & fell through the glass shower screen & cut my wrist really badly. Luckily for me i cut it on the side rather than the front, if i had cut it on the front then according to the doctors i would have died before the ambulance arrived at my house . because of the arterys & nerves there

so i was taken to queen Elizabeth hospital i had an operation to repair the muscle yes the cut was very deep & they had to remove the embedded glass. so all in all a pretty lucky man so of i go to by my lotto ticket.
