we keep hanging it on him as well over that, but people do strange things when under pressure, thankfully we had a few people who had been trained by us so reacted quickly and positively in getting things sorted.  I was still conscious so able to help as well.

bike was ok, rode it 1 hour later and was all good, I wound up going to the quacks, and they pretty well kept doing the same as we had been, just got great pain killers as well.  Had I not have gotten the ice onto it straight away and kept icing throughout I think there was a high chance I was going to be a bit of a hoppit. was starting to compartmentalise so it would have needed draining at the least.  But all in all was a good outcome and very pleased I came out better off than the sheep.
First aid training and supplies.
First aid is NOT a bandaid solution.

I have one of the survival FAK's - http://www.my-firstaidkit.com/ and were so impressed with them I bought two.  I really like the layout of the kit, it folds up to be very compact yet you can fit a huge amount of stuff in them.  I also added glowsticks, a flint lighter, superglue and aquatabs in the kit.

After some of the contents were past expiry I restocked from GLC - very happy with their service and the stuff was of good quality.
