Hendrik_S Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Hi Guys. After Marius spoke about his crashed I had the idea. Photos and stories of worst crashes by hub members. I will kick it off. To hell and back 2008. Lying in 6th place chasing Dennis de Toit on last decent into the hell. All I remember was riding across the line and people running towards me. I crashed and most of the impact went to the face. Broke my Oakley in half ( I picked them up and put them into my pockets of which I have no recall) I also spoke to 3 people that stopped on the side of the road to help. Finished the stage in 10th I think. I rode the last 3km of the decent and till this day still dont remember. My hand was broken and my shoulder ligaments torn. Only got to hospital 9pm that night. Needless to say it was a pretty K@K day. Here is a photo afterwards.
slowpoke Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 best i hope that MichH doesn't post any pics of me here.
Hendrik_S Posted May 27, 2010 Author Posted May 27, 2010 I am fine. Was not aloud to ride for 6months off road and my short term memory was very bad. Had to go for cat scan.

Headshot Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 That looks fcuking painful. Can't match it I'm happy to say. Just lots of lesser offs and one that caused damaged rib cartlidge that was sore for about 8 weeks.
gummibear Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 That guy with the brake lever in his wrist must get first place.
