MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Well after having my Endura kit for quite a few years and being thoroughly pleased with how good it is and tough. This morning they met their match... Paramedics scissors.
I think my bottom lip may have even quivered when he sliced off my only a couple of months old stealth jacket.
Had a big off on my road bike this morning on black ice. One tiny little patch but enough to **** me up good and proper
Did a nice high side resulting in 4 fractured vertibrae
All a bit worrying with the ambulance and emergency team this morning. Knew I hadn't snapped anything as I could move my arms and legs, but had a hell of a trouble breathing, thought I'd broken my ribs at the back.
Anyways 4 days in hospital (can actually see the alps from my window which perks one up a bit)..
Start physio tomorrow and approx 6 weeks recovery.
Oh we'll could have been much worse. There but for the grace of god go I!

and all sympathy was suddenly lost 😉
How to kill endura kit? Just ride in it I find.
Anyway, get well soon.
I'm right next door to one of the cracking mtb areas of Zurich. Think it may be a few weeks before I'm on two wheels again. It's when you need them that you realise how great police, paramedics, drs, nurses and joe public who all chip in and help sort out a fellow human being.
Restores your faith in mankind
Pick at the stitching for a bit?
Heal quick 🙂
ouch! i was next to a mate in tears as they "removed" his very expensive custom dainese motorbike leathers...he passed out not long after.the head quack said "hes a bit precious about his leathers aint he?" £2kish with the boots/gloves i reckoned..
heal fast,sounds a sore one 8)
X-rays / blood photos or it didn't happen 😉
Get well soon
Ouch indeed! Hope you get back on the bike soon!
I'm sure you could stitch the jacket back together though! 😉
Get well soon 🙂
That's going to cost a bit, you should see my med bills for a broken thumb !

Hopefully I'll get a look at the scan tomorrow!!
I don't really bruise. But if it helps its pretty swollen. Feels like I'm laying on a pillow 😯
I haven't had any pain killers since this morning as the ones they gave me were proper rocket fuel!! I was a bit high.
Anyways about to get another dose of the "good stuff" should knock me out for the night!

My companies and my insurance should cover it.
I'm just happy I've got use of my arms and legs, really did come down hard right on my back.
Did a proper super bike slide into the verge too.
Amazing how quick your mind races as you fly through the air.
Even remember cringing as my bike bounced down the road.
On the up side ( I can only window shop being a married family man) but the Swiss nurses are Loooovverrrllly
Ouch. Get well soon mate.
