Have had many over the years myself including 5 broken arms, both collarbones, broken hand, broken nose, broken foot, blown knee, multiple concussions.
Best one though was back in 2007, was out on Race City doing a track day and laying down some quick laps considering my tires were just about shot (dumbass). Hit a turn doing about 140 and the back end came around on me then caught which highsided me to the moon. From the skid mark to where my helmet marked the pavement was around 100ft, landed first on my shoulder and head then tumbled into the weeds. Took a couple minutes but i got up and picked up the bike, rode back to the pits and loaded into my trailer. Got checked out by the ambulance and was told it was just bruising. Drove home and went to bed, got up the next morning and took about 20 minutes to get out of my bed. Went to the ER to get checked out and ended up with a concussion, bruised lung, bruised spleen, bruised kidneys, shoulder contusion, broken left arm, 3 cracked ribs and a compressed spine.
Paying for my 20's dearly nowadays!
That's awesome that you walked away.
I agree, youth don't know how painful the future might be....
