In article <2h1b0tF7v0qcU1nospamberlin.de>, DaveMay2004nospam-creek.net says... > I've seen it twice in a dozen years as an EMT (in non-Saab cars > obviously). Not fun. > I've only been driving a couple of years, but the closest I've gotten to when you describe was a mountainbike incident I had. crossing a small wet log slowly, I realised I wouldn't clear it, so i pedalled forward a touch. The tyre spun on the wet log, and twisted the rear of the bike to left, driving me forward to the right. Heading off track the front wheel shot into a raher deep badger hole, swallowing it completley. All my weight was thrown forward, and the cycle computer on the handlebars wedged under my kneecap from below, without breaking the skin. Then my foot disconnected from the clip on pedal, so left with one foot clipped in, the other foot dangling, both hand holding up my weight on the bars, I had to bend then straighten the leg,a nd the computer (about the same size, but half the thickness of a Zippo lighter shot forward, and I never found it. No lasting damage, and after about 15 mins of walking it off, and some redness/tenderness I was able to cycle the 25 miles home. Didn't put a computer back on the bars though. -- The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
