Injuries

[balla250ex]

Hey yall. Whut is the worst injury yall have had while quad riding?? The worse thing that has happened to me is a snapped left femur. Doctors say that is the biggest bone in your body and the hardest to break. I had it surgically repaired and have a rod from my hip to my knee. There are 4 screws at my hip and right above my knee to keep it in place. Now I can say I have a leg of steel!! :D

[sweet300ex]

sore muscles and jaggar scratches....ive been in luck

[Mx300exRyder]

There was a thread on this not too long ago (2-3 weeks), but I had the same injury just this past october (but my was shattered not just snaped), the developed a blood clot from surgery.

[CHAUNCY]

My worst would have to be burning my leg on my trx70. Man, I wish I still had that quad, it was mobbable. Ive been pretty lucky all in all:)

[marksuttonjr]

2 broken ribs. Long story, but to make it short I took one h### of a tumble after going head on into a tree stump that was about 3' tall.

[Natertot426ex]

I had a friend fly off a cliff on his 400 in the middle of winter where there was a bunch of snow and he broke some ribs and puncured his lung. It is had to beleive that the quad didn't get a scratch on it. My worst crash was a couple of months ago when I endo'd and I sraped my had and had a sore back for a while.

[Pappy]

ummmm....
broke my leg just below the knee
broke both my arms

[KASCHAK]

broken arm. trx 125 hhaha it was good times

umm.. A 4 inch long, 2 inch wide burn from dirtbike,, hurt quite alot. this winter got hit by a moped when i was warmin up dirtbike on ice(not lieing) and my leg went into my foot peg. probably could have got stitches but didnt want them. rode a wheelie on dirtbike and fell and hit my knee pretty hard.. there might be something wrong with it but i dont like the doctor. it was about 4 weeks ago and everytime i touch a spot on my knee it kills. :confused: And alll the regular bruises that happen. cupple nose smashes into handlebars, alot of nut squishes, i think everyone has had their own share. :D

[2002_300_EX]

About three weeks ago, I was ridin a wheelie and shifted into 3rd, but didnt let off the gas enough and it kicked me off the back and dragged me about 30-40 feet. My back got all bruised up and got scratches all over. But I was wearin my helmet :D

[KASCHAK]

last sunday i was riding a wheelie 5th gear just shifted to 5th and there was trees comming. so i was going to tap the brake to let it down tree was about 50 ft or so away. i started to slide off the seat, my hand sliped off the handle bars and when i grabed it i hit the gas, the grab bar hit the ground and i almost fell off and i went 5th gear into a tree in a wheelie. :eek2: only thing i broke my my ego. lol

[spliffy]

I compressed 2 vertibraes (sp) in my neck & 2 in my back at the same time & just recently broke my thumb bone thats connected to my wrist bone (sounds like a song huh).... but next weekend I will be ready to ride :devil

[Kilabanshee]

yeah kaschak ill be sure to throw on that 14 next time i go up. Maybe you can find that cannondale speed and we can both smoke um. Yeah i was really scared doing that hillclimb cause it was one of the first ones were u actuly had to whip it at the top.

[Fast250EX]

I got 2 bruised ribs and an absolutely ripped apart arm. I was sliding around a turn when all of a sudden my tires caught and it started going over, slinging me off in the process. I still had a slight grip on the handlebar with my right hand before I got slung too far and slung the handlebars to the right to keep it from flipping... big mistake. After hitting the ground hardon my left shoulder and getting shaken around violently to a stop, my 250EX came over and ran over my right side, shredding my right arm and kicking my shoe off.

I couldn't sleep worth a crap for a few nights. Every time i would move I would wake myself up.

Oh and of course, there's the thing I am sure most have done. Land from a jump with the nose a bit too far down and do a faceplant into the handlebars and destroy your nuts on the gas cap. That sucks.

[racinred330ex]

[suck my pipe]

[sparks400]

ive had brused ribs, sterum ( ur middle chest bone right over ur heart) sprined a everything, my luck hasnt be that bad , havent crashed in a while ( knock on wood ) good luck yall

[Jackie]

broke off my tail bone and flag at silver lake right at the starting line of a drag on the beach whent straight up stuck on the gripper seat cover let go fell very hard you know where. kicked it side ways, felt like crawling under a rock.
same season on the Baldwin trail hit tree with tire and tore the tendens in my thumb. so now it has some new range of motion. It hurts to use a thumb throdle had have a twist to ride. no big deal a few rides and the twist is like it was always there.
that's it for me:ermm:

[350Xhilaration]

Fractured elbow and some road rash two weeks ago because another member of this board (speedbump) ran into me. He got a busted clavicle. We were going super slow < 10mph from one trail to another where we had to ride up a road for about 50 yards, he thought I was going to the right ,well, I went left and he went right and his right front tire got into my left rear and both of us rolled. Unbelievable what can happen at such a slow speed. Both of us had brainbuckets securely attached.

This is me after the crash

i've just been beated, and buised. when i flipped my 300 the 3rd time i went rolling thru the field and got a couple rocks in my back, and the quad was rolling right beside me, and it never even bent my handlebars!! :D But other than stratches, buises, sore muscles, and a burn on my right leg from a xr200.

[ridered92]
