Scars

[Jason James Gairn]

Seeing as we have a high percentage of Frank spencers in our midst, lets have look at your scars from arb. No sharks allowed. To start you off, heres my left knee 7 years on from 020 bite. I think it's important to say how it happened and how it could have been avoided. Seeing as the HSE doesn't have much in the way of statistics, maybe this is a way for us to learn about the nature of accidents along with some gratuitous flesh and some war stories thrown in. Let us not cast any aspersions on posters as this will lead to shyness. I for one want to see the back of Mr Ed's leg.

My story is pretty well documented on other threads.

My scar is barely visible now, it was 18 years ago. the tip of the saw bounced into the back of my calf, taking two small but very deep bites.

worse thing about chainsaw wounds, their virtually impossible to stitch due the shredding action of the saw, you loose the flesh.

I've had lots of super glue at A&E for lot's of reasons not just my saw scars. For that exact reason .Am I alone on having broken 15 bones and had 3 chainsaw scars.

My 020 neck scars are tiny and not worth posting a picture - nonetheless they still serve as a reminder

One scar- the result of this cut, broke my nose twice, broken 4 fingers and dislocated a thumb. Popped a couple of ribs out of place and numerous stitches (about 20) and butterflys.

 

Only the pic is a saw cut, and a few stitches due to silky cuts.

That's a shaving cut to some of these hairy arsed foresters Pete. :wave:

 

Bad one that, didn't realise it was so deep.

Lascerated the artery, but missed everything else. Only put 3 unit of saline and 6 units of blood through me
