Stumpy 284 #1 July 6, 2004 [rant] There i am on my motorbike, on the way into london, minding my own business, filtering through the traffic, when the van i am going past decides he doesn't like the fact that he is stuck in traffic and i'm not so decides to swing over and block my path. I slam on the brakes but nowhere to go, lose the front and go sliding down the road. Said white van then decides that he hasn't done enough and runs over my foot in his mercedes sprinter. 2 lanes of the A4 are now blocked, and everyone has stopped...... except the van who takes one quick look to check i am alive then drives off. Long story short, quick ambulance ride, X-ray, no broken bones, but a foot that looks like a football and serious invalid tendencies, one knackered motorbike and a very pissed off skydiver (who incidentally had just completed my first proper, stable, sitfly jump about 12 hours previous) So looks like i may have to miss my CReW seminar, and possibly the nationals at the end of july as well. Am a little upset about that! Apart from that life's good! (well it did say this was the forum to "vent your angst"!![\rant]Never try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yoink 321 #2 July 6, 2004 anyone get the number plate? I would have thought that would class as a hit and run accident - the police tend to get a little annoyed at those... Edit: Glad to hear you're not seriously hurt though... coulda been worse... the sky will wait for a couple of weeks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stumpy 284 #4 July 6, 2004 No - the people behind me were too busy worrying about me rolling round on the floor swearing and by the time anyone realised, he had gone.... And yes, the rozzers were very annoyed. But thanks - hopefully the swelling will go down quickish. Coulda been a lot worse, he coulda run over my head....Never try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
