Got cocky, took a spill

[Lukey]

Hi,

Now I know you'll all be going "oooh shouldda worn pads" yeah well I appreciate that and I had knees and wrists on. Of course, sods law (or bocks law maybe??) is that you'll damage the area thats normally protected when you're not protecting it.

Today I went into town and realised I'm really unfit [tangent] cos couldnt run(ish) more than maybe 50 yards. I dunno how far yards are but I can do about 20 seconds steady jog before slowing down to a walk to breath [/tangent]

I was sorting out my mp3 when I was outside a hairdressers and of course staff/customers were looking - yes, you know where this is going - and I thought I'd put a show on and then be on my way.
However, I had my mp3 in one hand and the wrong attitude in my head which can only spell disaster. The fact a telegraph pole's securing cable was jutting into the path didnt help me either. The punchline being my hands weren't where they are normally, my hoof clipped cable and I tumble like a sack of fecal matter. I look to see all the girls therein  laughing and I did the "serves me right" gesture in return - you know, the shrugged shoulders with a shake of the head with a smile look  .

To add insult to injury, my MP3 split as much as it possibly could! Battery cover, battery, SD Card all in different directions (LAME) and I'd taken damage  .

Although I had knee pads I think it slipped down as I was jumping so that took a knock, feels sore now. Elbows as illustrated and also a graze to my hip which I cant understand how that got there.

Other than that I got back up, dusted down and carried on. Did bits in town (de-stilted of course) and then walked back, didnt really fancy putting them back on  .

And so ends todays tale of woe, dont make the same mistake as me.

Dont get cocky, setup & secure your accessories before doing stuff.

can you say ROAD RASHHH

or is it

BOCK RASHHH

Took a spill myself other day while Bocking to breakfast. Luckly I had elbow and wrist gaurds on cause they took all the force as I prone falled it.  Elbow is sore but would have been rashed like your w/out them.  My chest protector may have helped.... not sure, not sore there but then maybe it's why. 

Yeah I know Im a wimp.  When not on mats I wear helmet,  under garmet vest- chest and spine protector, undergarment shorts- butt and hip protector, and knee, elbow and wrist protectors.  Makes you feel like Inspector Gadget on roids

It can't be helped.  Someone always has to say it.  I'm very sorry, but I can't resist: you should have worn all your pads.  We all chuckle at the pain of others, particularly when it's their own damn fault.

So it's called "Sod's law" in the UK?  Over in the USA it's called Murphy's law.  It says that everything that can go wrong will go wrong.  Or is sod's law a little different?  That things only go wrong at the worst times?

[nundrian]

I think it amounts to the same hill of beans. Either way you're buggered ;-)

Over here, where we invented English, Murphey's law is a TV show with an undercover Irish detective - http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/drama/murphyslaw/ . However, in the US its also a band - http://www.murphyslawnyc.com/ .

All "rashes" are sore suddently after shower (like a Gremin) but that'll calm down when they're dry. Why is that?

I'm usually pretty good about this, but I can't seem to find anything as to the "why?" about road rashes in the shower.  The closest thing I found mentioned that anything colder or warmer than body temp stings, which leads me to believe it's something to do with the nerve endings.

Then again, I also read that instead of the sissy cleaning I usually do, a good scrubbing would minimize scarring.  *shrug*  Goddamn I can't wait for spring

[Lukey]

OH, SORRY HARD!

[tundrah]

I always thought of you as the pad police, Lukey.  You have dissapointed me from your lack of protection. [Insert shaking smiley here]  Or is it more "Do as I say, not as I do"?

[SuperFreak]
