I didn't know Gail from Coronation Street was an FPVer but it looks like she's done her finger in as well

Oh bloody hell Simon. That must of really hurt. I caught a finger a glancing blow in a 40 size glow engine once and that hurt enough.
Hope it's better soon.
Best wishes, Mark

Thanks for all the words of support guys
Finally back from hospital
Total carnage as follows
Both nails gone, 30 small stitches and a piece of my bone left up the common the day it happened
Vid of fingers (caution, a bit gruesome)

So you left some finger behind, its not as if you would have known at the time.

Glad you got it fixed up though.

With a bit of finger missing your new nickname should be Nine and half :)

I'm Welsh mate

Well on the plus side you will be able to hold the Skywalker the same way and the prop won't hit any more :D

Schoolboy error at your age? :D

I can imagine those few seconds after it happened, just before the pain hit you...... is it.... isn't it..... yup, here it comes...... HOLY F***
I drove a scalpel into the top of my leg (the whole blade disappeared) last weekend and there was blood everywhere. I ended up having a couple of stitches but I'd much prefer to re-live that, than have a prop go through my fingers.

Get well...... NOW
(why does everyone say "soon"? is it that they want you to suffer a bit longer?) :D

As thay sead on Jaws,  I have that beet. Had a motor bike crash at 19, meany moons ago.
Looks pretty tame now but at the time one side of my foot had a split at 90 degrees,  the tow was hanging by a sliver of skin, thay sowed it back on, with a pin holding it on, but it didn't take and got gangrene,  I was sent home for Christmas,  went out drinking and kicked it on a kerb, buckling the pin back with the tow. Every day when the dressing was changed,  more of the tow came of,  it was the living dead tow, black and smelly.

Hell yeah :D

One day, I'll post my bike accident videos - 135mph impact and I walked away..... and then I fell over and passed out when I realised I'd lost half the skin on my right arm.

[bignose13]

Post the vids boys, great thread fair play :)

[Vortecks]

Here's the only footage of the accident (I was the one in front) which doesn't actually show me coming off. Apparently, the first words out of my mouth were "did you get it on video?" :D

I can't post the aftermath video - Youtube banned me when I posted it (back in 2007).
I might be able to take some video stills but I warn you, it's VERY graphic!
