Storm Angel n Auroras Mum Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Im not sure if this belongs here or not lol. I just had my first scooter accident We thought it would be good to take angel for a run. Alex had storm walking as he doesnt like running much. The handlebars came loose, I went over im not sure what happened it happened so fast. landed on my kneecap, only one. No other damage. Its bashed up, sore, bruised, swollen, blooming painful. I started screaming, alex and storm started coming back to us but my screaming must have freaked angel out as she backed out her harness and got loose!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Adrenaline kicked in and I stopped worrying about my leg and panicked as we were on a country road cars use. I kept thinking what if a car comes speeding down doing 60, it wont see angel :eek: putting on my best nice voice i commanded angel to come to mummy, and to sit. She kept running between alex and me. And then she came to me and I got her collar. MUMMYS GOOD GIRL! (considering mine have no recall.) We then sat at the roadside for alex to go get the car and come get us. Im in so much pain, my kneecap is red and black and sore. I can hardly walk. :cry1::cry1::cry1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lebe03 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Knee pads and a helmet particularly when first starting out would be my advice. I would also suggest going to A+E to get your knee checked out as you can't be too careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cas Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Angel's a good girl for coming to you. Hope your knee is better soon. Might be a good idea to elevate your leg and put an ice pack on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I never mentioned that while in Poland going through the National Park with Storm pulling my bike, I had a wee accident, as I was embarassed at the time. I was on a dirt track, negotiated a large puddle, only to firmly plant the front wheel of my bike in a rut. Of course, I had momentum at the time, and Storm's line was attached to the handle bars. Now Storm had a good head of steam at the time, so picturing the physics of the situation, the front wheel became the pivot point, force applied to top of handle bars, and effectively the seat of the bike became a catapult. Now normally you hit the ground before you know what happened, but not in this case. I remember being airbourne for a second or so before landing behind Storm but well in front of my bike, taking the full force of the fall on my nose, chin and cheek. I was welled winded, but grateful that the ice of previous days had cleared, as I just ended up with a mouth full of soil and a split inside lip from my teeth. There were a couple of joggers in the distance, but I don't think they saw what happened, so I quickly caught my breath, got back on the bike and cycled off. Happy days!!!
