sounds bad!!

between your laser and the side of what??

I've had some pretty bad lickings cycling.  I lost control down a hill in a slippery time trial and slid with my bike for about 50 metres because my shoe cleats wouldn't come out of the pedal.  Got some nasty cuts n bruises but was really lucky it wasn't worse.

Came in off the wire a bit quick for the gybe and kicked the, erm, kickbar.

And no, we didn't survive the gybe...

My crew didn't spot the big gust coming and powered the kite up at just the wrong moment...

I have to say I was squealing like a little girl when I was hanging upside down from my capsized boat with my foot bent around the rack.

not nice

This is why I never use the foot loops (on my contender I had doorstops wedges screwed to the deck which I just pushed up against)
