Injuries:

1992 Crash with Open-Face-Helmet, harmless injuries with a little concussion. going to the hospital was for precaution only.
But i had no choice, they just brought my there.

1999 Crash on my face with a following stay at the face-surgery.
"Profit":
* A cut nasal septum and strong moved cartilage,
* almost completely cup tip of the tongue,
* perforated upper lip,
* inside of the lower lip cut open from the far left to the far right
=> all together at least 50 stitches
and a really fat concussion with amnesia (think that was better for me)
It must have been very serious, because an accident with a circular saw had to wait !
Since then - only full-face-action !

2006 Open ellbow for a long time, bruised hand, concussion

2008 Torn ligament right foot, detached labrum in left shoulder: refixation with surgery

That looked like this:

2011 Again surgery at my shoulder to repair several occlusives.
It was worth it !

2014 Surgery at my elbow - really neccessary: plastic surgery at triceps tendon with reconstruction of an elbow-ligament

Additional several hematomas, trenching and 1-2 smaller concussions.
But - for 32 years of a risky sport it's been relative few injuries.
