Here's mine from last nights club ride after 0.3 of a mile.
First one in hospital straight after clean up, they had to inject anesthetic into the wounds and that hurt more than the injury.
The other two are the next day(this morning)bit swollen and now have a top lip like Marge Simpson. So can someone recommend a light full face helmet.

rode over old fence wire sprung up, caught chainset and stopped bike dead.
was ridign alone so took picture to assess damage. Normally I can sneak in the house and have a shower to wash the worst of the evidence away before I'm spotted ("Why is you leg at that angle?" "just scraped it a bit, it's just a flesh wound"). Wasn't really an option on this occasion.
Still have scar on forehead where helmet peak dug in.

It was the rock garden on Skyline wot done it... Cracked my helmet, and have scars on my mouth from 14 stitches. Couldn't talk, smile, drink or eat. You have my sympathy lipseal! Hope it gets better quickly. I used Rosehip seed oil from Neal's Yard on my face, very good for helping skin to heal.
Oh and I remember the anaesthetic injection straight into the wounds.... owwwwwww!

That a long time hope you get it sorted.

This one does the rounds a lot. Thankfully I have no photos of myself faceplanting.

That's brilliant!
I don't know whether I've not being going fast enough, or whether I'm lacking the self confidence to believe in myself beyond the point of no return, but I've always been able to get my heels over the bars before anything awful happens.
Probably not trying hard enough.

This was the result of what was going to be a gentle ride on Dartmoor but only after half a mile - BANG - things were going so well up to then ...
right after the crash
This was me a few hours later after a visit to A&E
The next day with the scars/scabs...
I was fortunate not to have any stitches but I was super glued together on the worst cuts

Ahh it's a shame I'd forgot to press start on my GoPro Andy, there was a good chance of me catching the stack on film, was only couple of bikes behind you...

Mick you'd best give me that camera as you don't know how to use it.

Can't believe this thread didn't have a Public Warning.
Some pretty grim pics there and hope everyone is on the mend.
Be careful out there.

Had my worst plant on my road bike - broken collarbone, ribs, punctured left lung and some extraordinary road rash. All in the name of finding out that riding a fixed gear on a Monday is not the best after taking my mtb 'round the Quantocks on Saturday...they just don't mix. No pics unfortunately - my wife was too squeamish. I do have some decent scars though!

But I CAN ride my bike down steps, with 26" or 29" wheels
