    Question: Have you recieved a serious injury whilst engaged
    in non extreme riding?

    - yes
    - no
    ------------------------------------------------------------

    I'm a little concerned about the number of serious injuries
    I'm reading about on this board, I'm staring to feel a bit
    of trepidation about going out on my unis!

    We seem to have had various ankle breakages, wrecked knees
    requiring surgery and 6 month rehabs, Mikes come close to
    breaking his jaw, even a 'necrotised flesh' incident from a
    pedal bite requiring emergency antibiotics.

    I always used to think that if you just rode around/mild
    muni with no herioc drops etc, you could count on being
    safe, but many of these nasty injuries seem to have happened
    on quite mild stuff.

    So, here's a poll to try and establish how safe normal
    riding is; definition of serious injury is bone breakages
    or stuff requiring weeks/months of lay up, 'normal riding'
    is cruising the streets or mild off road, with small drops
    or no drops.

    pedal bite which was because I was practicing backspins... a
    freestyle skill!

  3. I voted yes for a sprained wrist, sprained ankle, (unknown)
    neck and (unknown knee) in about 2.3 years of riding. Two
    from off-road and two from freestyle on pavement. I was
    wearing full safety gear for all except the knee.
