Isnt half term great- my lad went biking in the woods and whilst chasing after his mate on the last downhill of the day came off and impaled his thigh on his brake lever- fair play at just 14 he had the pluck to pull the lever out and limp to a nearby house for assistance!
When he rang me I was good enough to make sure he was okay before asking about his scandal!- which is fine apart from a bit of blood on the lever!
Ooo sounds nasty. Hope he's OK
Ouch!!
Cool story but might be worth teaching him not to pull things out of your body if they get stuck in there unless you really, really have to - they might be stopping all the blood coming out, too...
Still, at least the bike's okay!! 🙂

PS Glad he's ok. Good battle scar hopefully!
he will mend quick mate............lad's do.
my young lad split his scrotum open on the cable guides of his bmx when he was 12.
he is a dad now 8)
Was Admirable still there?
Hope your son gets well soon.
Yes I had that thought but as it had gone through his jeans I dont think he fully realised it was actually in his leg until he pulled the bike away and some blood came out. However its a tricky call when in he middle of the woods I suppose.
Weird thing is my wife is a midwife who happily sews up 'delicate' parts but couldnt face stitching his leg when offered the opportunity by the nurse!
nasty one pop, I'm sure he'll be back on the bike in no time. You do realise that beating him up hills whilst he's injured doesn't count 😉
we may be out on thursday night if you can get away for a bimble
I'll bet his brake levers were tightly attached to handlebars.
Quick get out to the shed and slacken them off like they should be. If he finds out Dad hasn't been fulfilling his duty of care, he'll sue your ass! - oooops too late cats out of the bag.
Right, I'm off to bed now I've ruined someone's life.
Sounds really nasty. Glad he is OK.
tazzymtb - Bummer re Thursday. My other half is out or would have snuck out for a play.
