Well this topic popped into my head after i had burned my leg on the motorbike exhaust. This burn was a 2nd degree burn and it fucken hurt!! Practically paralized me for 5 days or so, which was uncool, still didnt stop me from walking, driving and doing other things.
So as the topic states, what is your worst injury, meaning do you have an story to tell regarding your injury, a photo perhaps of the scar to date, maybe even when it happened or shorty after.
Here is mine:
Was a fine EKKA Day Wednesday here in Brissy and myself and a mate decided to go riding before i fly over to NZ (on Saturday morning), went to our usual spot and did the usual shit we do. But this day was different, we did more exploring and rode further then previous times. On the way back after a good 2 hour non stop up and down steep rocky hill ride we decided to start making our way back to the ute.
On the way back i could feel how hot the engine was getting as my bum was getting pretty warm, then we came up to the hill which i have always hated as there is alot to dodge and gotta go pretty slow up it. At about half way up i started slowing down and had my legs out for balance, then suddenly out of nowhere a sump popped up, my left leg getting caught on it and pulled that leg in between the exhaust (just as it comes out of the engine) and the rear break lever. The burn was instantaneous and there was nothing i could do but pull me leg out. On the day it looked nasty but no pain. But it wasnt the story the next few days.
Got back home, showed the missus (blah blah blah, thats what you get for not having protective gear). Yes that right, went riding with nothing more then a t-shirt, old shorts and old shoes. Guess ive learnt now!! Bike boots here i come.
The end result is a pretty scar on my leg, here is a photo of what i looked like the next day.
