It’ll buff out, right?

Ouch, tell us then what happened?

He’s taking a while to reply as he can’t type with his floppy left hand.

At school you’d get a paracetamol and you’d have to carry on with PE. Now, get back in goal you wuss. 😀

thisisnotaspoon. Did you do that playing Quidittich?

I’m not a doctor but i’ll venture you might need to take a day or two off the bike…

Its a sticker !

Could be a warranty issue I’d speak to the manufacturers.

oh jesus mate, that looks horrendous

Cutlery and some carbon fibre will see you right.

Is that after plating or another bit of damage. Get better soon.

Sometimes you just instantly know what’s wrong in a picture..

Good luck with healing process

Take it from the scar you’ve got previous then?

scar is from 2 previous brakes.

1st missjudged a jump and snapped it mid shaft, plated.

2nd, sliped on some gravel on the xc bike and the bone snaped round the end of the plate, plated again.

3rd, near stationary, hit a patch of diesel at a give way line! There’s a pattern, the accidents are getting more inoquious! Its been 4 months but obviously not enough as it broke in the same place and bent the plate!

Can’t they just fit a zip this time?
Good to see someone maxing out their investment in the NHS ! 😀

Ouch.

Maybe a bone density scan would be in order – you do seem overly prone to snapping.

Thats always been my concern with my ankles- both pinned and plated a few years ago.
Those do sound innocuous though right enough! Perhaps a zip would be a good idea.

That needs a fancy titanium upgrade sorting in a dockyard where they use proper gauge metal plates and rivets.

Aye carumba

I told you getting it powder coated was a bad idea.

Time for the ultimate stranger

Been shaking hands with Yuri Geller lately, thisisnotaspoon?

“snapped in the same place and bent the plate”

Epic destruction skills.

…shaking hands with Yuri Geller…

Is that a euphemism? If so, he might have to lay off that for a while.

Anyway. Turn that frown upside down, OP. It could be worse…

That’ll look great with a pair of Jones bars.

Get the other one done as well, nothing worse than mismatched parts.

1st missjudged a jump and snapped it mid shaft, plated.

Viewing this thread on my phone – pics slow to load – quite relieved it was a picture of you’re arm you’d posted after I read that.

At 4 months from previous injury it’s still healing, the metal work is not as strong as bone so it will bend. Just bad luck chief.

Try and avoid falling on it for a while and it’ll be fine….. All that stainless ain’t cheap!

I think you could learn something for this lad

I’d suggest for the next few rides you do..

Put the OTHER arm down FIRST… 😉

I’ve watched too much You’ve Been Framed – was expecting the kid to break his arm.

Mate, you div.

p.s. “innocuous”

Right. It was a tough surgery, but I think we did the best job we could, with the raw materials we had. To be honest, we can hardly tell the difference.

…we’ll even throw in a suitable jumper to go with it:

Turn that frown upside down

tears down my face, this could go on all day couldn’t it?

Bad luck TINAS hope your back on your bike (safely) soon.

OW!

To be honest, we can hardly tell the difference.

I think you should make the other one look the same really. For balance, like.

What waswas said – no point in that video unless the precocious wee **** brakes something and starts wailing.

Why stop there?

Why stop there?

I actually laughed out loud at that one. It doesn’t happen often!

haha. glad its making a few people chuckle!

back home now for 3 weeks untill they can schedule a bone graft from my hip! apparently the screw that went through the break itself has messed up whats left of the bone somewhat.!

Mend soon tinas, it looks awful.

I went from ‘AAAARGH – that looks f****ed’ to peeing myself laughing. Can’t beat STW for killing time on a quiet afternoon.

You people have all spent too much time on here.
