Hi all its me the missing link. I never log on anymore but thought I should share this one.
Last week after a very pleasant ride on my awesome (and so powerful I still haven't had the cojones to open it up all the way!) Soob powered ride..... I was all through and rolled it back into the hangar (having just outran a huge storm cell).
The last thing I always do is cover the rotor head. I do this by climbing monkey like up onto the rear seat. To get down I hold onto a cross brace from the mast that goes to the frame, extent my left leg - hop/fall to the mains tire and then bounce from that to the ground. This time when I dropped those final ten inches off the tire, my foot folded under itself and I heard what sounded like a 4 inch tree branch breaking. Huge pop. :lalala: I tried to 'walk it out' but after 5 minutes there was a huge black and blue lump that hurt!!!!!:Cry:
I fractured my foot in three places and am in a cast with my foot in the air for 6 weeks.:violin:
There are those here who probably are enjoying this to this point (yes there arrrrre!), to the others I stand on the mount and yell into the great abyss as the Oracle, the harbinger of doom, a geomancer, your sad prophet.....
Be careful because apparently its not falling out of the sky that is the danger - its the last ten inches stepping down!!!!:whip:
Snickers or your well wishes.... thanks in advance. I wont be checking. :boom:
Man I miss using these little gay emoticons! :humble:
