While clicking through some photos to add to the Steelmonkey's "http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.html?topic_id=345405 thread, I came across this shot.
I received this gem after coming off the roof on True Value at Le Petit Verdon, Flagstaff.
Certainly there are better war wounds than that! Let's see 'em!!

Yowza, Susan... that one looks like it hurt when you hit the showers... I hate those kind of wounds!
Grevious wounds, had 'em.
Photos of said wounds, ain't got 'em (although I DO have all the insurance billing, does that count?! hehe!)

Sooze...that's nasty. Got something like that under my leg once when we were at the Flagstaff gym (the summer the forests were all closed) and a hold I was standing on broke in half.
I had a really cool looking one from crashing on my mountain bike yesterday, but it looked way worse than it was and I forgot to take a pic before I washed the blood off...dang.

I wish I had gone to see the injury of a boulderer who got hurt near me this summer. I was belaying someone on Boston(or one of those climbs; my memory is cloudy right now), and this woman was traversing that section under the Horseman overhang.
She fell off from about 10 feet up and her foot hit the edge of the bouldering pad. She was screaming "Oh my GOD!" and clearly going into shock.
I wanted to go see - but I am prett sure I WOULD have thrown up. Her foot and leg bones were completely separated. Only some skin was keeping the foot and her leg from being in two pieces.
10 foot fall, with a funky landing. That's all it took. Yow.

Only scratches and tame stuff can be shown. The real nasty stuff is forbidden, to protect the innocent.

Don't get twisted you guys. Knott a snuff site. The horror.
Saw the remake of Dawn of the Dead last night. Couldn't sleep. The new ghouls are really fast compared to the old clumsy ones. Too bad about Tim Roth at the end.

The photo of a ring finger degloved was a result of some dude jumping off the wing of an AV-8B Harrier and his ring caught the vortex guide vanes near the leading edge of the wing. Gravity took care of the rest :P That was a safety poster back in the late 80's while I was in the Marine Corps.

Thanks Werner, I know there's liability in releasing certain images and wasn't really serious about it. I don't need to see that - I saw a little for real and that was enough, the time we loaded that guy in a helicopter below Reeds - he died from head trauma. I looked at him and didn't recognize him and I had met him swimming only like a week or two before.
That was enough for me.
If you want to see the results of the kind of accidents that are much more likely, California Highway Patrol magazine made no bones about publishing the most hard-core death photos imaginable .
They probably still do but like I said, I don't need to see it.

Yes, as respect for those who have passed let's keep those photo's out of here and stick to injuries that Crimpie and I can handle.
So far, we've already blown it. I have to keep turning my head from the screen.
Yuck!

Mussy,
We want details with the picture....DETAILS!
Like how Susan kept her sh*t together trying to deal with trying to pull out the nail....or was it the cactus spines?....hmmm.
Oh never mind, I'll just ask Billy Russell, he knows the story well.
