Blunt Force Trauma

[redoakneck]

Very good to see you mended so quickly!!!

I have learned from your experience and am wearing a full face dirt bike helmet when falling trees until I can get a more stylish hard hat/ face deal.

I ain't nearly as pretty as you, but you take a couple more of them whackers to the noggin and I might catch ya in the beauty contest!!!


Man this can be some dangerous stuff, wood is heavy and has a lot of potential energy stored in its height.

F=ma, E=mc2, p=mv , 186,000 miles/second is slow

No pain to your brain is the name of the game to stay sane

Jerry, since the injury, I seem to have become a mental giant, being able to solve complicated math problems and the meaning of life according to a cull and other pedantic stuff lol

Glad to see you doing so well, Reminds us that cutting by ourselves can be dangerous. This is a HUGE improvement over the first picture. Thanks for sharing this accident. It will make us all a little more cautious while cutting.

Thanks Burv, In some ways I think I deserved being wacked. It was just an eye opener and described whether I am cut out for the job or not. It should maybe make me a better faller. Lol
It sure knocked the chit right out of me, so I will be wearing a hardhat from here on in.

The Doc said I had an empty skull.

Whats all that funny grey fuzz on the face ? That from the blunt force ? Hormonal as well as cerebral transformation ? :hmm3grin2orange:

Poster child for hard hats ?
Just kidding , I'm glad you're around and that you've shared this event with us (you could have chosen not to) to be a reminder that you never know when you'll need your PPE till you need it
My hat's off to you (but not in the woods) .
When are the new videos coming ?

Makes more sense now. I can see the hole where they dumped some miracle grow on your brain!!!! No wonder you got so much smarter!!


Wow, I have seen and fixed a lot of animal traumas--- you took a severe hit, so so lucky you were able to stay conscious and get to help, man, those o.r. pics are amazing..


... And if you drill a hole all the way thru the center of the earth to the other side, drop an object assuming a vacuum and no liquid center, the object will take 42 minutes to go down and back. Physics 101.

42 is the answer..

thanks for your post John, good luck
