Resumee
At first glance I'd say:
- fork at least spoiled if not totally b0rken
- frame compressed or b0rken
- front wheel damaged
- lots of small parts damaged
I forgot, I got some bruises too:
- Left foot hurts
- Digital tuft fracture (?[3]) on left ring finger, maybe I will lose that nail
- Hematoma on whole left hand
- Headache
- Right knee hurts
- Next morning: both legs hurt everywhere, but I'm pretty sure that will just go away
- Whiplash, neck hurts, thus the headache
- <and wot not>
I just thought...I was driving at 50kph, that is the speed you reach after a jump from a roof in a height of 10 meters[4]. I'm so happy I'm still alive!
- Footnotes:
- ↑ And I have no idea, what I would want to change, the bike is just right the way it is!
- ↑ Poor sob, just eighteen, I feel sorry for him, I also caused an accident at that age.
- ↑ German: Nagelkranzfraktur
- ↑ free fall on earth
