Damn, such an innocent looking little bump too. Did you not see it, lose your balance and fall off the side ?
Having had 2 broken wrists from a trivial fall while doing a similar fairly slow speed I sympathize.
I take it this will put you out of action for work too ? Or are you just back to being on foot ?

THE RADIUS BEING A COMPRESSION BREAK WITH LOTS OF SPLINTERING AND FRAGMENTS THE ULNA WAS A FRACTURE AND THE TIP WAS CHIPPED A BIT.

I THINK THE DIPS ARE THERE FOR SPEED CONTROL DURING DESCENT. THERE ARE 3 SETS OF THEM. THE LAST TIME I RODE THE TRAIL I HAD A FRONT HUB.

THE LAST TIME I RODE THIS TRAIL WAS 1 YEAR AND 9 DAYS AGO.
THE SAME SECTION OF TRAIL IS AROUND 1:00 OF THIS VIDEO.

I saw your X-rays, lucky it's no broken bones in the hand. My guess is that you happily ride next month. Sorry that you have to spend the best of the summer with a plastered arm.

Damn, that's a nasty break dude!
If it makes you feel any better, once the pain goes away you'll still be able to ride slowly with the cast on - I did it (very akwardly mind you) with 2 casts on so you can do it with one
Looks like you also broke your capslock key :lol:
Yep, that's going to be in a cast for a while and you'll definitely need some orthopedic work, a few pins at the least. You might get away with a single pin in the ulna but the radius will require a few if not a small plate and screws. I'm not a expert in the area other than having a history of 3 broken wrists but unfortunately I don't think that wrist will ever be the same againicecube57 said:

Hey IC57
Very sorry about your wrist. Can you COBRA the insurance from your previous job? Usually you have 60 days to do that from when you leave. Get well soon!

That is really good news because I too think you will need plates and screws to immobilize those fractures. Good luck to you!

oh, man! i'm so sorry to hear about this! i hit a bump like that on a trail when i wasn't paying attention, my foot slipped off the (comfort bike) pedal, jammed the road, reared the back seat, and twisted the handlebars, but before i spilled i was able to jam the handlebars forward and regain control. otherwise i would have been a giant road rash.
are you scraped up too? ouch, ouch, ouch, that sucks!
take it easy, and get well soon!

Ouch!
I've broken both bones in both wrists twice so I know your pain for sure! Once, I was standing on a skateboard talking to a girl and another girl came up behind me and kicked my skateboard. I fell straight down and broke my arm. It sucked!
I always used my broken bones down time to catch up on learning stuff.
Anyway, get well soon!
