Remembering that horrific photo of derek starship, I encountered today a person who had fallen off their bike whilst "downhill racing on the golf course" (how's that for cheeky trails!). Anyway, said person had fallen onto their bar end, and informed me that they'd never seen a cut like this. Expecting an apple core type injury I removed the towel covering the persons lower abdomen to find a 9 inch tear from the top of the hip, all the way across the stomach. Less than an inch deep, but much deeper and they'd have been holding their innards in.
Reminded me that I need some new bar end plugs, if you do too, I'd suggest getting some!
