Mntboy Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 thanks man, unfortunately muscle damage as well as degloving, but yeah it shouldn't be too long if I avoid infectionKeep it clean and you should have nothing to worry about. Get well soon!
G00SE Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Oi, those pics. I recon even with elbow pads you would not have got off Scot free, but they would have helped a bit... They would have helped a lot I think..Unless the elbow pads shifted in the fall they would have meant the difference between maybe a bruise, and a "degloved" elbow.I think i am going to start using my elbow pads again after seeing that
RocknRolla Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 I have clearly have not had a proper off. My wife on the other hand.... She managed to hug a lamppost after a pedalstrike on a hidden block of concrete. Dislocating vertebrae, concussion and some lekker bruising. Broken helmet et al. Visually not as upsetting as Daniel's injury, but the lack of correct diagnosis from the ER staff was pretty disturbing.
Pikey Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Oh ffs I just googled degloved elbow....that's me no dinner tonight,Heal soon dude. Oh yea note to self: always wear your pads! Even if you think it's not hectic run!

RobinD Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Speedy recovery dude ! Did you happen to have a gopro on the bike?
Chilternburt Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Just saw this thread now, get well soon Dave, hope you make a speedy recovery...
Ed-Zulu Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 When the doc was finished cleaning/scrubbing: IMG_4772.JPG Was riding pretty recklessly without enough protection at the Cascades Endoro, had a proper off into some rocks or stumps Not actually feeling too bad today .... yet Day 3?
Bianchi Baby Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I fell properly at VG on Sat (or so I thought until I saw this!) Had a 10 hour drive for work on Monday (Day 3)!!! That day 3 thing is no jokes hey! Heal up quick dude - I feel so much better after seeing your pain..........
Headshot Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Oh ffs I just googled degloved elbow....that's me no dinner tonight,Heal soon dude. Oh yea note to self: always wear your pads! Even if you think it's not hectic run!Definitely better than nothing. My experience with elbow guards was that the one time I needed them and was actually wearing them, they shifted and left me with a bit of a graze anyway. Of course it may have been much worse without them...
David Messem Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Speedy recovery dude ! Did you happen to have a gopro on the bike? I forgot to gopro anything that weekend If there was ever a time I should have, it was this.....I want to know what happened too
jagwil Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 When your arm looks like this on a Sunday morning after a Saturday ride.
Capricorn Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 She must have scorpioned real hard to have shoe prints on her back. that's just the pattern on her spinal protection and the OP is wrong: she rides with Shimano shoes. Heal up Mr Dave. You messem'd that arm up pretty good. (sorry, couldn't resist)
BarHugger Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 When your arm looks like this on a Sunday morning after a Saturday ride.Elbow dislocation???
NicoBoshoff Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 that's just the pattern on her spinal protection and the OP is wrong: she rides with Shimano shoes. Heal up Mr Dave. You messem'd that arm up pretty good. (sorry, couldn't resist) OP must not have such detailed stats on all the riders. I reckon he just likes watching them ride down a mountain and then switch off his TV and go ride his own bike.
