Had an accident before.
Was going down hill very fast, nice empty hill. Then some bozo decides to back a car out a place in front of a house. Not even a driveway. Fast. Then the sun gets in my eyes. I'm not one that votes for getting hit by cars, so I pull break ( back, fairly hard ) hear weird poping noise. Break gone. Oh ****te.
Sun still in my eyes, bike still going, heading for car, which I suppose wasn't moving anymore ( had stopped in the middle of the block ). So I hit front brake. That locks up the whole wheel, and sends me, along with the bike, flying.
I FLEW over the end side of the car, landed face first almost in a recycling bin, full of glass. Then the bike lands on me. Hard.
I roll a little ( its a hill )
I lay there for a little while, a minute or so. I try to get up, find it very painful to push up with my right arm. Look at arm. Find sizeable piece of glass sticking out of top part of arm muscle. It hurts. I pull glass out. That hurts even more. I forget about the arm, no longer hurts. Get up. look at car. Back wind shield cracked, where the bike landed on it, then on me, and the trunk badly scratched. I look around. No one there. The car is in the middle of the street though. Someone must have backed it out really fast, gotten out, and left to get something.
Either way, I get on my bike, and ride home, which is about 1 minute away fast. As I ride people look at me really weird, and halfway home I notice I'm shaking.
I walk in, my mother sees me, and promplty drops to the floor.
I look in the hall way mirror and well...
My arm is bleeding really bad at the top muscle.
My other arm is bleeding at the top.
My finger is bent in a weird way.
The fabric of the knee part of my pants is gone. I can see this weird white looking stuff on both knees. ( * bone ? )
Last but not least, I have a nice bloody smile.
So I go, help my mom up on couch ( she has tendencies to faint ), and proceed to go to the kitchen, take out this huge bottle ( 2 liter? ) of peroxide, and pour almost all over myself right there in the kitchen. ( Including in my mouth ) Grandmother comes home, and well, she is a little better with blood, and her and I bandaged me up. Took a while to heal all of it. This was prehaps three years ago. didnt even go to the hospital.
lol now my rght arm often twitches at the muscle and down, for no appearent reason. both my knees are loose and often hurt, and I have these cool looking scars on them. my finger still messed up and doesnt bend all the way.
so much for home remides eh?
Hope you feel better Stewart. Getting messed up with a bike really sucks.
