Maniax Posted August 12, 2013 Author Posted August 12, 2013 Where did this happen, Daniel?Was the piece of concrete part of the road surface, or laying loose?Glad you are OK, could have been a lot worse. Between Klapmuts and Wellington, WC. It was part if the road surface. There was a couple of blodges of concrete there. This one was portruding about 3-4cm's which is dangerous enough for a roadbike (especially if you had only one hand on the handlebars and you didnt see it).
Daideron Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Glad you are ok! Amazing how those helmets and gloves give their lives for yours! Sadly a lot of people dont feel the need to wear such protective gear. The mind boggles. I must admit I used to hate wearing gloves, but after I saw a youngster try a handstand at 40kph and how he needed urgent medical attention to his palms, I changed my mind! I believe he needed a skin graft because of that crash. ( although I cannot confirm this, it is believeable having seen his hands ) Glad you are ok and wish you a speedy recovery! Maniax 1
rpedro Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Jip most helmets comes with crash replacement policy and I ones had 2 replacements in 1 month.
Maniax Posted August 12, 2013 Author Posted August 12, 2013 Jip most helmets comes with crash replacement policy and I ones had 2 replacements in 1 month.Having never needed one, I didnt know. Now I do and I am hugely greatful. It again pays to get a proper and quality helmet.
Vetseun Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Update: went to doc today for a checkup. Got a week's holiday and a stern talk about keeping away from contact sports for a few weeks, but otherwise I'm okay. Now to heal up and get riding again. Thanks for the support guys! See you on the road.Good to hear! ...... But unfortunately.......... and hub rules state it clearly.......... Post a pikcha or it didnt happen. Maniax 1

Mads Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Eina!!!! Hope it looks worse that it really are. Heal soon and well. Edit : It really looks very painfull. Edited August 12, 2013 by Mads

canadonis Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Hi buddy saw pic and it looks eina sorry it happ..but based on wht u described I'm sure u also think about how much worse it could hv been, the scrapes and bruises could easily hv been a broken jawbone or in typical Cale town fashion missing front teeth, so u have much to be grateful...besides u can now claim for a new helmet Take care get well Maniax 1
Maniax Posted August 12, 2013 Author Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Eina!!!! Hope it looks worse that it really are. Heal soon and well. Edit : It really looks very painfull. It is quite. The dizzy spells and super stiff shoulder and neck is the worst though. The facial damage is about as painful as the pic shows.... But its manageble.Thanks Edited August 12, 2013 by Daniel Rossouw
