OK, so almost 2 years ago to this day, I wrecked HORRIBLY on my 400ex while racing...lol.
This guy ran me off the trail while I was trying to pass him on the hairscramble, and made me hit a small tree...lol.
We were hauling ***** and when I hit the tree me and the quad started to flip vilolently, Then I spun and started sliding feet first down the path and the quad was fliping end over end, Thats when the front brake resevoir on the handle bars went inside MY WRIST.....LITERALLY!!!
Later after the accident, 3 weeks, we went to the site to see the tree damage and how far I rolled, weirdly enough the tree had almost no damage...lol...but me and the atv stoped over 60ft away from the tree.
The only damage to the quad was a bent front bumper, tire popped off the bead, scrapes on new plastics, slightly bent swingarm bolt.
The damage to me was 12 severed tendons, and 2 severed nerves in my wrist, the whole under side of my wrist was cut to the bone the only thing that saved them from having to cut my hand completely off was the bone didnt break...LOL.
Other then that all I had was a scrape on my shoulder, and a broken helmet that saved my life...
Heres a pic of my wrist 4 weeks after surgery and a pic of the helmet, I wish the helmet pic was more detailed theres a huge crack in it....
ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET, EVEN IF YOUR JUST GOING UP THE STREET!!!...lol
Look at the wrist pic its in the shape of the square from the brake resevoir on the handle bars. It was a big hole the size of the resevoir on my wrist.
