EUC Injury Bingo Card


Jonathan Tolhurst

Recommended Posts

I had a quick trawl through the site and have created a tongue-in-cheek "EUC Injury" Bingo card based on rider's injuries and experiences. We are a rather accident prone bunch!

Is anyone close to shouting Bingo? I'm over halfway there. There's obviously a serious side to this - EUC riding does have inherent risks. Please consider safety gear, check your wheel regularly and ride within the limits of yourself and your wheel!

We can replace one of the "shoulder injury" boxes to include hip or leg bruises too. 

Another good one is that weird head rush digitization of sight thing that happens about 20 mins after the crash.

could you elaborate on the head rush thing?

Settle down a bit @Rehab1... Don't try to influence the game.

I swear... You can be so wired sometimes!

The lesson of Humpty Dumpty is that the king needed more horses and men. Also, we have no records of the medical qualifications of those men.

You're from Pluto, figure it out.. ;)  Ha! 

It first happened when I crashed a moped in Bermuda. After a crash where I contact the ground with force I get a headrush similar to standing up fast from a crouch when you are hungry. My sight gets a little like old TV snow on the screen when its a hard crash. It must be some biological response to the K (potassium) being released by the muscles in the area that gets crushed by the impact of the ground.

It has happened both times I have eaten it on my EUCs. Pretty fun in hindsight, but not something I hanker for.

I see ya got Cracked Rib. Sign me up for that one.

But in addition... I've had 2 twisted backs and one Broken Rib. Won't count bruised ego.

I'd like to be awarded one more square and a wild card bonus square.

Note: since every single one of us (even the newbies) have blood running down our legs and into our shoes... I can see why you've omitted scraped knees, shins and ankles.

But then I plan on quitting the game shortly.

Just today i decided to add a full chest, shoulder and side armor unit to my helmet, knee, elbow and wrist guard war plan.

Considering a Ball guard. If they're cheap, maybe even two. But that's more of a relationship issue, I guess.

Already cut my cruising speed to 10-11 mph. Speed is the cause of all these accidents. Well... that and driving by a pretty girl.

Refer back to Relationship Issues. :)

I have nine with one important caveat; most were very minor that I shrugged off in a few days.

The two moderate ones were oddly enough zero speed falls; a wrist that still wonky after a year and recently a calf muscle tear during a backwards practice session that crippled me from even walking (you could see the blood pooling under the skin through the muscle).

This isn't a game you would ever want to win, yet I would contribute 5-10 bucks toward a trophy for the unfortunate winner.

Or would it be better to contribute to their hospital bill?

I have a problem with the face plant one. Is necessary to hit with your face in the ground to be a face plant? With my first euc I did a superman due a pedal hit in a obstacle, landing with hands and chest but my head and face didn't touch the floor. That counts as faceplant?

Great list. Forgot "bruised ego" for silly falls in public, usually in front of a crowd or group of pretty girls. 

This is the only thing I have a hard time with.  I am so embarrassed by the thought of wiping out in front of people.  So far I have only fallen around my condo building while I have been obviously practicing and learning, but I am dreading my first wipe-out in front of a crowd.  I am the only one (that I can see) in my area who has an electric unicycle so it attracts a LOT of attention.  There are always people looking so when I fall I am sure that there will be an audience.  Being female I don't have to worry about groups of girls though.  LOL.
