Looks like it's getting dangerous to post from the north. Hi guys, hope it's a bit more fun on the court.
Waaay over here in Montreal we've had one player fall on his own unplugged bar end. Nothing too grisly but as the injury was "south" he is chastened. Some new players have been praised for their fine taste in game choice and that the M12 nut and bolt head sticking a centimeter out on either side of the mallet head is a little hazardous to the rest of us. Always precipitates a very rewarding round of "tech talk".
I stuck my own exposed second chain ring (on the inside, polo one on the outside, false hope) in the back of my leg. Exposed second chainrings have been quite rightly criticized on both LFGSS and TLoBP the past.
Having said all that I am wearing a fair bit of protective kit these days because even in throw-ins folk can get a bit carried away.
