I'm broken from a canopy collapse

Recommended Posts

My pelvis and tailbone are both broken. Last Saturday my canopy collapsed and dropped me 10 feet (right into a fire ant bed, how's that for insult to injury!). I spent five days in the hospital and now I'm home with my parents. Sorry I've been AWOL, but this is the first time in over a week I've been able to sit upright for more than three minutes.

I'll post in the Incidents forum as soon as I'm up to it, so you incidents nazis chill for the time being.

I'll be fine! I made them take my gear off before the paramedics got there so everything is in great shape except me. I'll be back in the air in a couple of months.



Damn Jess, I hope you feel numb at leastr for a few months. HEAL FAST!;)

being on the mend suks... glad you're allright a broken few aside. thankfully when you wreck yourself up that bad they usually give you the good stuff to help you along.


damn. don't do that next time.

good outlook too on it all btw.:P

Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds. Guaranteed reaction- Dave Sonsky

What an absolute bummer. :( Sorry to hear this, Jessica. Get better soon, OK? And in the meantime, I hope you have fun catching up on reading and movies!
GET WELL!!! :)

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

OWWWEEEE.. Sorry to hear about your incident and hope you heal soon. But do take the time to heal completely.

Breaking your pelvis and anything in your lower back is going to require some serious rehab( been there done that). Just listen to the rehab people and do as they say and please TRY hard to remember they really are not reincarnated Spanish Inquisitors.

I think Jess will be okay. She's the only person I know who can put the fear of the almighty in Torquemada himself.;)

It's the rehab specialists who are going to need therapy after Jess is done with them.B|

You will all be glad to know I loudly berated the paramedics then chastized them for making me yell, because it hurt.
