[ChristoT]

That's horrific!

And yes, I hate tennis too. But I fear that my sailing shoes would be no better. 

[dickturpin]

are jelly shoes ok?

[noggythenog]

are jelly shoes ok?

Apparently crocs are ok for just about anything




Totally type approved to make you look ridiculous at every opportunity, & you wont get tennis elbow or tennis foot as per the pic while wearing them.

[noggythenog]

& why we need good gloves.

[ChristoT]

& why we need good gloves.

1) slightly disturbing
2) explains why fingers bleed like foc!

[Dead Eye]

That is one disturbing photo... which I find far too fascinating... looking at all the bones, or what's left of them

This makes me glad that I opted for shin-high boots instead of ankle-high ones...

[Razgruff]

looks more like split acid or something than abrasion damage ?

Quite possibly, dunno, but you reminded me of an incident a friend of mine dealt with - the aftermath of it anyway. He's a elf'n'safety guru, and dealt with this. Trainee in a dairy, the kid was working cleaning the tankers out. A messy job, old milk gets spilt everywhere, he'd turned up to work in his nice new expensive trainers and got them covered. So he takes the jet wash lance he'd been cleaning the tankers with, and turned it on his trainers, while still wearing them. This isn't any old jet wash, it's steam.... Cooked the flesh right off his foot. Never got to the other foot...

[Razgruff]

I used to steam clean trucks and trailers prior to going in the workshops and MOT's. cut through my wellies at the toe tecter once when I got myself in a tangle under a trailer,  I was lucky I hit the Tector in a passing sweep, and didn't hit more foot higher up the boot and for longer

It looks bad but there is no worse pain than stubbing your toe on the fridge

[Doddsie]

..... Or standing on a lego brick!

[Dead Eye]

Or an upside down plug...

BigBlueBear, there is no need for that sort of image.
The OP's post was grim enough, but at least he had a valid point. You do not, just gratuitous shock and horror.
That was a person FFS. If that was mate of yours or a child of yours, would you want images of his corpse splashed about internet forums for a laugh?
I'm all for free speech, but please try to learn where the boundaries are.

[ChristoT]

To be fair, as grim as it is, it is in keeping with the OP: it shows the consequences of not wearing the right gear. I don't think it was put up for a laugh either.

At the end of the day: wear your gear! Thanks to my full-face lid, I still have a lower jaw after my fast smash with the Merc. Don't think I don't remember that.

Im inclined to agree, just a bit too gruesome those images BBB. Sorry to have to censor them by removing them, as I know the moderating on here falls on the relaxed side. I just dont think images of that horrific nature add anything to this thread.

We should all know the risks associated with not wearing a lid, and its clear to see why its a legal requirement, unlike proper footwear or gloves.

I attended a bike safe course run by strathclyde police a few years ago, apart from the usual rider tips they introduced a paramedic who showed graphic pictures of what happens when you don't wear proper boots, trousers, jackets and helmets with images if each. These were designed to have maximum impact to drive it home on the importance of wearing proper gear. There was gasps from the audience from these images and both the police and the paramedic were glad from the reaction as it was meant to be hard hitting and show the reality of what really happens.

I unreservedly apologise if these images were upsetting to some and it was not done for entertainment purposes.

[Deefer666]

Are Uggs ok?

[Frosties]

As in boots or me putting the ex wife on the bike and hoping she'll fall off?

When I did my direct access I walked into the office and the first thing I saw was a load of posters showing similar injuries. The very first lesson was wear proper gear!

[fazersharp]

Those other images were noting to do with not wearing a lid
One was wearing what looked like an ammo belt (non military) and was most likely shot
