I was riding into a seasonally closed rest area near where I live, one where the wire which holds warning signs has been sagging on the ground and where I have been riding over the wire where it is on the ground. You know what's coming---yup, I wasn't paying attention to my turning radius and hit the wire where it was about 10 inches off the ground---instant endo, cracked helmet, road rash on knees and head, and stiff neck, but otherwise OK. The price of stupidity and lack of attention!

I did something similar on skis this spring -- caught a barrier rope, near the bottom of the chair lift, at boot top level and ejected from both skis in a flash. (but that time it was in front of 100 people!) My friends said it's time for an eye exam!!! or a short term memory loss test!
