Aye. It separates me from the incredibly fascinating story of his
life and every day to day event in all it's minute and tedious
attention to detail.

Umm have you had an accident? *At the scene the adrenalin is pumping

damaged bits of body haven't started to swell yet. *It is only later
that it all kicks in and you start to suffer. *So if the police
attended
the scene I can quite easily see Ms Wiggins saying she felt OK and the
police saying she had no injuries (although as they aren't trained
paramedics can't really give a definitive statement to that effect) yet
later Ms Wiggins feeling like crap and hardly able to move. *They
aren't
contradictory statements at all.

Simon Mason:

Dead right. When I was hit, I just had thoughts of dusting myself down
and
getting to work on time. I wasn't bothered about the other driver or
compensation, it's only when I saw my left shoulder hanging at an odd
angle
that I realised I wasn't going to get to work at all.
A few days later, I was black and blue down to my elbow and left
pectoral
muscle and in pain. I then started legal proceedings.

Simon Brooke:

And to add to that, when I broke my back, I got back on my bike and
rode another mile - with a broken back - before realising I was badly
hurt. I spent the following month immobilised in a hospital bed, and
the next three months semi-immobilised in a pneumatic brace. I'm
bloody lucky I can still walk. Adrenalin does odd things to you, for a
short while. When the adrenalin wears off, morphine is a useful but
not adequate substitute.

Bugbear:

I crashed a car (my fault) into a ditch.
Got out feeling fine (car was a right-off).
Next day - lots of pain, covered in nettle strings.
I had crawled up a nettle covered ditch and not even
noticed.

KeithT:

When doored a while back someone asked me 'are you all right?'. The answer
was 'I don't know yet' as I was still going through the process of trying
to work out if anything was leaking or poking through clothes - after I'd
done the 'I'm still breathing, so that's a good start' It was a couple of
days later that my arms went a glorious yellow and purple from scraping
the top of the car door as I went over it.

You lot are certainly accident-prone, aren't you?

And all the fault of car drivers too. We are just the victims who suffer for
their carelessness and then get called accident prone!

In your case. My own was pure foolishness, for which I can blame no-
one but myself.

As you well know, it is impossible to answer that without reference to

FWIW, I have had two injury-accidents in something over quarter of a
million miles of cycling. One required two stitches... and the other
was the broken back. Obviously I'm not recommending breaking your
back, but two injuries in quarter of a million miles isn't bad. And,
although it cost me a great deal, I'm fully recovered and in good
health now (and still riding plenty), so it isn't that big a deal.

And was it a Thursday or a Wednesday? Or, oh, no, it wasn't though. Oh, who
cares anyway because I do not.

So there's nothing to say it's wrong.

In 25 years of driving I have never injured myself or anyone else. I did
fall off my bike once however causing a grazed arm.

Ah... but I don't think you're one of the "lot" to whom I was referring.

He's certainly not responded to those who may have had personal
experience of not being knocked off their bikes once a week.

That's because it wasn't the topic. The issue was a series of people who
recounted accidents they'd had whilst riding bikes or driving cars.

Why, in that context, would anyone address a different topic?

As usual, with Nugentland(tm), the real world is irrelevant, only what's
white and proper in Middle England whilst wearing English Rose coloured
spectacles.

The real world here is that several people (abouyt five, IIRC) serially
recounted details of injury accidents they'd had.

It must be all them asylum seekers getting knocked off bikes then.

You're certainly a tediously argumentative cock, aren't you?

In my case, incorrect. One hit from a car driver in 60,000 miles cannot
be described as accident-prone

....whereas a half-dozen accident reports, each reacting to the one before, can.
