I've broken, both bones in my lower left leg, hairline fractured my right leg, collar bone, fractured my nose, all my toes, and 7 fingures. Luckly nothing since then... oh and with my broken leg i was in a full leg cast for 4 months, a half leg (knee down) for another 2 months, and a walking boot for another 2 months after that... SO NOT FUN!

Glad yours wasn't too serious!

Im glad it wasn't very serious too. I still don't know if something was fractured or just a sprain. It doesn't hurt very bad and the swelling was relatively minor. I have full mobility but if my thumb is in a certain spot it hurts more to move my wrist then in another. It hurts to hold the steering wheel though and I can't go have fun in the snow because I can't use my left hand to spin the wheel. Also sux to type haha. I wish the x-ray had been definitive lol but it didn't show anything so idk... the Dr. claimed it could be this one bone that's just hard to see in an x-ray but idk.

you don't need no stinking left hand to steer while having fun in the snow. just keep it in first and learn how to steer with the gas

well sence were talking about broken bones might as well get my list up. Both wrists multiple times(which by the way I now have floating bone fragments in my left wrist and from time to time the pieces move inbetween the other bones making impossible to move my wrist.) all six arm bones, both collar bones at the same time, and left ankle. I have 14 so far, it has been a few years thankfully. I am trying not to add to that list.

Also I agree with Hiwords learn to drive with the throttle. way more fun that way.

I don't want to damage first gear so I use 2nd (first makes noise) and I think I am plenty good at using the throttle lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQC68...e=channel_page But when you get yourself into a tight spot you need to be able to have quick reactions and steer which I can't do very well. My right hand can but its not as easy for me.

He didn't tell the entire story here. He did slip on the shop floor, but that was only because he was trying to kick ice off a car while it was in the air on a hoist!
