Worst bike accident I ever had, was when I was doing a pedal-stand on a long, downhill street, when I was 15 years old, on my way to a friend's house. I was doing around 30mph when the brake caliper decided to come loose from the frame and fall into the front spokes. The bike came to a sudden stop, the seat bounced up, hitting me in the ass, and catapulted me about 25 yards where I landed on my face and slid for about fifteen feet. To add insult to injury, the bike, a big ol' 10-speed beach cruiser, landed on top of me; all 30 lbs. of it. In sliding, I had busted my front teeth in an upside down "V", lacerated the inside of my lower lip so badly, I needed 14 stitches, dislocated my jaw, and scraped the entire right side of my face off.

I was gushing blood from my mouth, and this little old lady came running over to me, dabbing at me with a lacy handkerchief. She was freaking out and asking if I was okay. I waved her off and said, "Lady, just leave me alone..." I disentangled myself from my mangled bike, hoisted it on my shoulder, and walked the rest of the way to my friend's house.

When I got there, his mom answered the door and went white as a sheet. My buddy came to the door and started laughing, "Holy shit, dude! You look like HELL!!" He brought me a bath towel, which I held to my gushing face and promptly soaked through. I called my mom and told her to come pick me up, because I needed to go to the hospital. She asked how bad it was and I told her to be prepared for "walking death."

It took them three hours to pick all of the gravel out of my rapidly swelling face, and to stitch up the inside of my lower lip. I could barely talk and it hurt like hell to laugh or yawn. I couldn't eat anything... This happened on a Thursday afternoon, so I stayed home from school on Friday, and spent all weekend holding ice on my face. By Monday, comparatively, the swelling had greatly decreased and it didn't look so bad. (or so I thought)

I was late for school, so I ran in through the main doors. At that moment, there was a girl coming down the hall, swinging a bathroom pass. She took one look at my mangled face and lost her breakfast, so I walked home.

I got my teeth fixed, (root canal in both upper front teeth, and then got them capped), and all of the scrapes healed without scars. My jaw bothered me for years after, but for whatever reason, it seems to have healed, finally.

I didn't realize what caused the crash until I got my bike home and started looking it over. The handbrake was plastic, and the force of the sudden stop was so great, that the cable literally TORE the plastic all the way through the base of the brake.

we were racing downhill, a long downhill, maybe hit about 40mph at dusk... when the oncoming, unseen nitwit on a moped, (the other nitwit, not me...) took an unlit, unsignaled left turn. I hit him square on... Flew about 30 feet like a circus clown being shot out of a cannon... somersaulted and rolled with it... landed on the cement... had a couple stitches in the cranium. Can anyone say 'head injury'? Broke the frame on the bike.

If you're not wearing a helmet, you don't have much to protect. ;;D

(although that doesn't seem to hold true for the goober in that top pic)

LOL! Yeah, it pretty much sucked ass. I looked like some freakshow escapee. "The Man Without A Face." [smiley=laugh.gif]

The ER doc thought I had been in a car wreck, and then he thought that when I said, "Bike," I meant a motorcycle accident. He was floored when I told him that it was a bicycle. LOL
