8 titanium plates, and numerous screws to the tune of about 50 number.
fractured skull, both cheek bones broke, both eye sockets broke, upper pallette(maxillio bone) broken front to backdown the centre, lower jaw broke in two places, upper and lower jaws both wired in place although no wired shut, oh and the bridge of my nose broke.
so after cat scans, xrays, mir scan and about 6 hrs surgery heres how i looked

no brittle bones, never broke a single bone before this happened, i was told afterwards that when you fall from a bike you hit at 4 times the speed you were travelling, so how ever fast he was travelling at the time x4 plus concrete isnt a good mix

lmfao...a relativley small fall.....excellent.....next time we are at bones i cant wait for you to show me how you can dive from the top of a five foot 1/4 pipe and land on your face without breaking you skull.....lol
remember you are not allowed to use your hands to break the fall as well.....lmao

you said yourself it was a small fall, in a previous thread, but did max damage.
i dont think i could do the dive myself though.
i do fall off sometimes, but i never seem to hit my head. its my knees and hands that take the beating.
