Dude, he was knocked out cold and in panic - when this happens you dont realise pain.

I got a concussion by trying a rolling 180 off a 4ft drop landing
backwards. I couldn't see that great and I was defiantly not with it my
head was pounding so bad. I basically went right to the back of my head
off a 4ft drop luckily I did have a helmet.

Ok, so I'll start off by saying mine wasn't as bad as yours - no brain
injury or medivacs involved.
But, I did get a bruise to my calf so bad I couldn't walk without a
MAJOR limp for 4 days, couldn't use my leg for any meaningful purpose
for a good week, and was off the uni for 2-3 weeks.
Basically I fell off my mUNI backwards and my pedal came up and smacked
my calf incredibly hard. This happened in a rather tame section of
this ride described by 'Steveyo'
(http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61415) My foot was
so immobile for the first 2 days (no flex, big limp) that I checked
with the doc, but he said just a 'deep contusion' requiring ice and
immobility for the first 2 days and as much use and stretching as
possible afterwards.
I went for my first big ride today, about 3 weeks post injury, and its
feeling aok.
Leaves me wondering what the injury rate is for uni, or Muni anyway.
I've been riding about 1 year and thus have had 1 significant injury
requiring a 2-3 week break. In 10 years of competitive wrestling I had
3 injuries of similar magnitude (one slightly worse, 2 about the same),
in 10 years of competitive ultimate I've had just one injury this bad.

I have never had such a bad experience as you buddy. Sounds like it was
quite a shock.
I have broken both my arms on different occasions,
twisted my ankle three times and smashed my pelvis a few times.
I have never shinned myself though, or hit my head, though I ALWAYS
wear a helmet.
I now wear harbingers on every little ride I do: it is ridiculously
easy to break an arm and ruin a summer.

I just got the bill for the careflight and hospital services!
I obviously learned a huge lesson about wearing a helmet, but now I
learned an even bigger one... don't do anything that you can't pay for.
You will understand what I've said once I tell you my hospital bill is
over $21,000.🙁 By the way the careflight alone was $12,000! Also I'm
not insured so I have no clue how I will pay for this.... any
suggestions?
