Damn! That looks like it belongs on a medical discovery show or something.

This belongs on the other gore thread that Viento started! What is the deal??!!

Shocked Shocked

I guess that's what he gets for dangling...probably wouldn't happend with boots. Thumb's Up

Quote: I was having a great time in South Padre, it was about 80 degrees, the sun was shining, I was learning new tricks...landed a couple double back rolls and a nice hangman ...and then after one boost I was coming down a little fast and I knew it was going to be a hard landing, I probably should have kicked my board off behind me... I didn't, and when I hit the water it popped off, flipped over and my arm was impaled by one of the fins.

Seriously, that's not a bad point about the boots. I wouldn't have knocked my teeth out if I was in boots. Crashed and the board flew up into the air, caught the wind and was pushed down to where I was, then it landed end first on my face.

Slither and Forrest quit stirring the "dangle vs boot" pot amigos!!!! The other thread went from amusing to lame in about 1 page.
Laughing

I just checked my fins....a few are like jagged razor blades. I could see cutting my hand during a grab etc but never thought of impaling myself like the guy from Mass.

Good post Crusty...nasty...but educational for all of us dangling kooks.
