Ahh, never noticed this thread. I guess my accident belongs here.

Wasnt on a trials bike though, was on my Fit AM when i used to ride BMX park.

I was attempting a 540 air off of the big quarter at my local skatepark, completely misjudged my landing point which meant that literally, there wasn't one.

Came down onto my face on solid concrete from about 3 metres up in the air. Wasn't actually too painful at the time.

The journey in the ambulance to the hospital was where my forehead started to really f**king hurt. I broke my nose, jaw, and 2 cheek bones aswell but the top of my face was where the pain was at.

Found out the next day after multiple x-rays and that type of shit that i had completely split part of my skull in two, and also broken my neck right at the top on the ring.

So that little tumble left me in my closest hospital for 2 weeks, before getting moved to a different hospital for my operation, and then spending a week in that one to recover from the op.

Then had to wear a neck-brace for 6 weeks too. I had soo much time off school but it was still a pretty shite experience, and it's the reason i always wear a helmet these days ;)

Oh, and here are some pictures;

Looks like someone shoved a cussion under your forehead :P

How long could you not eat properly/were you not allowed to do sports because of that? Want to compare because some b*****d broke my jaw (by hitting me with no reason -.-) 2 years ago and I wasn't allowed to do any sport for 6months..

Nothing bad cycling, just the regular bruises etc. Though I seem to knock my balls often lately :S

Haha i know right, my face was pretty f**ked.

I could hardly open my mouth for about 2 weeks, and the elastic band thingies i had attached to my teeth didn't help much either.

I was living on a diet of mashed f**king potato and milkshakes :P

And now i'm not allowed to play contact sports, although i do still play footy quite a bit, but no rugby, because any impact in the right place on my head could easily kill me.

My worst injuries have been on the bmx.

Back in 99 I faceplanted the coping on a sketchy miniramp in stafford, no major damage, lots of blood, a couple of loose teeth, severe concussion and amnesia for a fortnight - still no accurate recollection of what happened, I was conscious though and walked to the ambulance :)

I dead sailored the jumpbox at epic skatepark around 2005, handlebars punched a hole through the top of my thigh, an inch to the left and I would have lost testicles, a few mm to the right and I would have severed the femoral artery! Lots of blood was cool though, 9 stitches to close it and 18 months of the feeling of someone sandpapering the inside of my thigh.

Worst on the trials bike I think would have to be the time I flipped over the bars and kissed a pallet, split both lips and gouged a huge chunk out of the inside of my bottom one, couldnt smile or laugh for ages because it just kept opening the hole up :D
