If these injuries and x rays are the result of a 25 mph fall, I am selling my three motorbikes and de-tuning my BBS01 to cut out the assist at 11 miles an hour.

In fact, I might place an advert for someone to walk in front of me with a red flag.

Congratulations on your successful escape, and thank god you didn't crash in Telford to end up in the Princess Royal Hospital.

Can you walk yet, or are you at this moment hot rodding a mobility scooter?

Those injuries aren't survivable. I recommend euthanasia. Any vet will do it for free, they hate people. "Nil records exist" means they'll get away with it.

Looks like the bike got off lightly. What's the yellow elastic band for?

dead stop must have slammed in to the banked verge path lucky it was grass.

How exactly did you crash? Did you misjudge a corner, a lamppost jumped out in front of you, you swerved to save the life of a mouse, or what?

Likely as usual going to fast .

I'm not sure , over his whole ride, he was going that fast - I'm assuming the peak speeds are downhill

I reckon that evolution engineered our skeletons and muscles to fit with the forces experienced when we run. So likely, any impact greater than about 15 miles an hour is beyond the kind of forces experienced in survivable incidents over the last two hundred thousand years since our species has been running about the planet. Crash into something at 25 miles an hour and you have what would have been a life terminating incident before trauma medicine came along, and if you don't get quick attention, it still might be. The pelvis has large blood vessels running through it - big fat arteries that can soon bleed you out when it gets smashed up.

Did you crash outside your house? Passed out, called for an ambulance after regaining consciousness? Or was it a bystander? How long did the ambulance take to arrive?

And some prick has robbed one of my shoes.

Probably kept as a souvenir, you're lucky they didn't take a finger.

Sod the bike, you could have internally bled to death. Priorities are all wrong! Meat wagon first.

Shame about the thumb. Can it be bent back? The derailleur I mean, not the thumb. Looks like the thumb needs a break. No I don't mean another break.

looks like i can bend it back as just the end off it but i cant find a outer replacement for it tho i looks like a standard xx1outer cage ect will fit

Pardon our interruption...

That's a good price considering what that thing cost. I would offer them a tenner, reject their counter offer.
