metalslug 36 #1 November 7, 2003 Occasionaly our company sponsors it's staff a recreational 'fun day'. Last time it was paintball, this time it was motorised go-carts and quadbike trails. I've never been on one before.. was racing along about 60km/h along a dirt track, over a blind rise and had to brake hard to avoid a deep dip in the road that loomed up to greet me. Hit the brakes.. skidding to the left.. overbalancing to the right.. and over she goes. My impact with the ground wasnt actualy so bad, I had a helmet and chest protector on (which broke at the shoulder from the impact). The scarey part was looking up to see the quadbike roll right over me, fortunately with the soft seat section hitting me and not the hot, hard, engine parts. End result is a bruised knee and some lost skin on my right side, no more serious than a clumsy canopy landing on a runway. Ah well, I'll be more careful next time.

Deuce 1 #2 November 7, 2003 Nothing better than having your boss fill out a worker's comp claim for something they told you to do. "Go ahead Slugster! Go out there and race around and 'Team Build'!" "Uh, OK" "There goes our worker's comp insurance rates again" Bwah! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
