yeah that's a guy on the cruiser forum i frequent. he was t-boned on his cruiser while wearing regular shoes on his way to work. that is actually his heal bone in the pic. he has also been dealing with some serious necrosis | ||

necrosis What's that? That is nasty. As bad as that is I would have much rather received that injury than the one I did when t boned. Wish I had pics of my foot spun backwards. People at the scene must have that I was a sick freak for wanting pictures. Guess I got some cool hardware though.... | ||

Buffalo wings? seriously that's gonna take a long time to heal up and it sucks boots or not | ||

I doubt that boots would help so much with a hammer+anvil car/bike situation. | ||

Thanks Hex. Doesn't sound fun for sure. Armoured boots could have lessened the impact. Not much though. I don't know the details (MPHs of each driver) of his accident. I asked the question about the boots in my accident. I was wearing H/D riding boots. Doctors and members here stated that my leg still would have snapped but possibly not spun the way it did. | ||

That's why from day 1 of when I began riding I always wear over the ankle boots. | ||

Firebolt, I've felt the ole foot turned around backwards before. It hurt so damned bad I couldn't even cry. I just shook. Medic told me that was shock, and I told him I was going to stand up and beat the #$!& out of him if he didn't stop trying to fit my broken leg into a traction splint. It's amazing what metal can fix. My left foot suffered a tib/fib fracture, complete dislocation and torn ligaments on the medial side. All from a silly military parachuting accident. Sucks when one foot gets caught in a hole during a PLF. +1 for OTA boots... |
