Ride safely (do NOT view this picture if you are sqeamish)

Subject: Are you sure you want to ride a Motorbike?

NOW THAT'S A SPLINTER!!!!!

This is an actual emergency room photo of a gentleman who lost control

of his motorcycle on a country road in West Virginia.

Troopers believe that he was travelling at a speed of approximately 75

mph at the time of the accident. He was unable to negotiate a curve in

the road.

Unfortunately for him, upon striking the ditch and being ejected from

the bike, he landed back end first on a fencepost from an old barnyard

fence that was downed on the side of the road.

You can probably picture what happened next, but the attached picture

says it all.

This picture was obviously removed from the trooper's files without

permission.

The good news is that after about 6 months, this man made a full

recovery after suffering a shattered hip, broken leg, several broken

ribs, internal injuries, and "soft tissue" damage.

Doctors credited his recovery to the fact that the post lodged itself so

tightly that there was little or no blood loss.

(See attached file: pic15724.jpg)

Ride safely chaps

Oh Jeeesssus - I am completely squeamish but I still viewed it. Regretting that big time now - focus on the woman in the background who thinks she's making her debut as a sultry actress type woman
