i got my wrist shattered as the bars slammed full lock and kinda hit at a really odd angle, somehow my head was out of the way( i think it was still going backwards due to helmet weight) and i hit the collarbone on the car and sheared the socket it sits in off and ruined all the muscles and tendons
i was doing 25 and she was doing 40, my bike was stood in her car, a good 10 inches shorter than it was, if that gives you any help with how brutal the impact was
she came across to try and get a side road before i got to her, so she was about half turned when she hit me, i hit the bike, the bonnet, the roof, over the car into pavement and wall back into car back into wall and then out into the road
the car defo did the main damage but i think the flailing after impact with it dislocated did the majority of the lig/tendon/muscle damage
ive been told the fix is a screw thru my shoulder into the collarbone but id never ride anything or be able to lift my arm over chest height so i told them to piss off , i just put it with it coming out constantly
worst injury ever and ive had loads :D
