I partially separated the right one by having it "pluck" on a seam in my cycling shoe (not deliberately  :facepalm:), it was about half way loose, and that didn't fall off. Took six months to grow out and there was a ridge along the nail.
This current one is now a lovely dark purple on the inside and outside edges. It doesn't feel loose at all. I think the nail just got rammed ahead into the toe cap rather than lifted.
I can do more pics if required.  :sick:

Are you sure about this now?

Flat pedal bites


Wrist rebuild 4 hour op to replace and plate dislocated bone, reattach ligaments, screw scaphoid into one piece from three



Infected gravel rash/bruising to knee - too many times!




Brambles

Peak dry stone wall

Another wall


Pinned broken thumb


I have many more......

Have you considered a tricycle Rabbit ?

As you can imagine, the 'get some stabilisers' comments get thrown my way rather too much!

Isn't that on a par with asking Nutty if he needs a sharper blade for his fettling?

Knitting- a safe indoor activity. Possibly includes a soft landing.
And everyone knows sharp blades are less dangerous than blunt ones.

There are some nice photos of the inside of barakta's wrist, but they're not eligible for the thread as (being a sensible type who got some stabilisers) no cycling was involved in the process that lead to it being opened.


Knitting's on my list of things to avoid so as not to require similar (though probably less dramatic) surgery.  RSI is a bugger.

I think sitting quietly in a darkened room with no sharp objects might be more appropriate.  And I say that sitting here with one side of my clavicle still healing after the break, and the other held together with a bunch of Titanium.

Then there is the danger from getting caught up in the wool. Tripping and banging your head, strangling yourself etc.
