So you know how I'm an international standard expert skater? (if you didn't, rest assured that I am: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjQHZmuJhaA )

Well, here's proof that even the best of have stupid accidents. I was skating down to the train station in the rain to book a ticket to go and see @xFAWNx this Sunday. The hill was really slippery, so I was using oppositional force sliding techniques to decelerate, however it soon became apparent that the road surface was too bumpy for this and using friction based speed reduction wasn't slowing me down enough. I knew that if I attempted to make the hard turn at the bottom of the hill I would wipe out so I had to just let myself roll into the railings at the bottom, at around 20mph, needless to say it hurt, I badly bruised my left hand, winded myself and I think suffered some whiplash type affect in my jaw, since the right side is really painful. Funtimes.

Upside: Going to see Fawn in five days!! ^-^

Anyone else have silly injury stories?
