    I'm convinced that people (especially mountain bikers) can hurt themselves on anything if they try hard enough. If it makes you feel better, this particular liver that was lacerated was done on a straight piece of singletrack that was wet (thus proving my theory). So go have fun!

    True. My husband has had some nasty wrecks. His worst though was spraining a wrist when he rode his bike into the back of a PARKED 18 wheeler when he was still in college.

    I know about that.

    Years ago my mountain biking buddy went mountain biking at a famous place here in Mass. called The Fells, wiped out, and lacerated her liver. No joke! That was what the doctors called her injury, caused by a handlebar end hard to the gut. The poor thing. After serveral days in the ICU, she made a full recovery, and has resumed mountain biking.

    I landed on my handlebar once during a crash and it slammed into my ribs. I woke up the next day and had a round blue and purple "ODI" logo on my chest. Classy indeed. Luckily nothing was lacerated.
