Shock setting in? It doesn't take much, sometimes.

 

I guess that's what it was as it really didn't hurt that much at all....I just kept on plowin' snow. Same happened (brain to stomach) another time when I slammed my knee into a boulder....now THAT hurt. Again didn't puke, but saw stars and thought I was gonna pass out. Didn't do that either tho. Weird huh?

 

I was working with a friend on an aircraft (T-38) when he cut his thumb climbing out of the cockpit. He was a golden gloves boxer earlier in his youth, and prided himself on being a tough-guy.
Well, he took one look at his bleeding thumb, and collapsed like a sand bag.
Yeah, shock can get anybody.

 

I had my thumb get wrenched once when I was a kid, but I was bush hogging on a tractor. Front left wheel hit a hole that was hidden in the grass, and it yanked the wheel. Didn't break my thumb, but it bent it the wrong way enough that I learned not to wrap my thumbs around the wheel anymore. Haven't done it since, on any vehicle.

I was taught your hands should be at ten and two with thumbs on out side of the steering wheel and when you turn it is hand over hand, none of that Steve McQueen sh*t you see in the movies (Thanks Dad)

 

I don't care who you are, that's funny

WORD....

 

My right wrist still hurts occasionaly from an under water log that I hit back in the early 90's and spun the wheel. I was driving straight and slow through a wash and BAM the wheel spun,caught my thumb and hair line fracture.

 

I have a friend who just did this last week, though it was a marked Crown Vic with lights and siren and he dislocated a finger. I guess it really isn't as unusual as he thought (It was his first on-duty accident...).
