I'm not even going to enter as I have an unfair advantage on just about everyone, not only 30 yrs riding, but 16 years of compatition, 52 different brakes and as to the medical names.... 12 yrs as a paramedic.


So I'll leave you lot to fight over the winning of this

Cheers Mark.

In the 'Big Bad' bike accident nearly 20 years ago: multiple compound fractures to left Tibea and Fibula, a dislocated left knee, greenstick fractures to left hip, the left side of my pelvis, four left ribs, left humerus and ulna and a left shoulder that dislocated, but I put it back in when I bounced!

Broke the outside (the one running down from the little finger) bone in my right hand during a sword fight in full plate armour (when it degenerated into a brawl ) and still have a lump of bone there where it healed badly...

... cos I was a numpty, didn't think I'd broken it and so never went to A&E to get it checked out.






Oh, and I broke my left big toe by kicking my brother when I was about 7...

... but it was worth it.

in fairness this does include a broken collar bone and shoulder as a result of a parachute jump (1st and last as I hate heights), but anyway it matters not because I am immortal. - or is that immoral? I always get confused.

Tame by comparison, just the right femur- crushed it at the neck- 3 metacarpals, pelvis and a rib.. All from different incidents, none from biking One of the fingers and the rib were done at gigs (Idlewild and Bad Religion), and with the pelvis and 2 of the metacarpals I never knew I'd broken them at the time, they were all picked up in seperate x-rays. Because I'm that hard
