Sailing Injury - Apart from all the usual bruises suffered when teaching kids in Mirrors, would have to be cutting my head open on my Laser gunnel in a F6 gusting to an 8 trying to right the damn thing. Ended up abandoning my capsized (stuck in mud) boat to be taken to shore for someone else to rescue my boat! 5 min in A + E and I was glued up.

Other injuries - tore my cruiciate (sp) ligament at the age of 7 (same as Gazza) and its bloody painful.

I broke my fibula just above my ankle three weeks ago capsizing my Contender.

It was rather bad timing as it happened four days before my new lightweight crew, or should I say daughter, arrived. At least I get more time off work than I would with paternity leave.

Had a nice slam skating the new bowl in Crawley last Thursday. Lost it on the oververt and fell eight feet onto my head. The bowl is concrete btw. Ambulance to Redhill hospital because Crawley doesn't have a head trauma unit, 14 hours in hospital, got home on Friday and felt OK, went to bed and slept til Sunday, still off work with a headache worthy of 1000000 pints of Stella, ringing in both ears and my eyes ache.  Apparently I have concussion and whiplash.  I am going to wear a helmet next time I skate concrete over 6'.
