Jonathan Tolhurst Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 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! EUC-INJURY-BINGO-CARD.pdf 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!

The Fat Unicyclist Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Does "time off work" include when you call in sick because you have a new wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 What does the "winner" get? A nice tombstone courtesy of the other forum members? I think "Impalement" beats them all! Eeek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Backe Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 This is great. Funny and scary at the same time. I only have four I appreciate the Search & Rescue box Coincidence? Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

who_the Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Great list. Forgot "bruised ego" for silly falls in public, usually in front of a crowd or group of pretty girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Onymous Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmethvin Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I think there could be an entirely different card just for mental ones. I do get flashbacks sometimes, like when I'm riding past a metal picket fence and I think, "Now would be a really bad time for a shutoff." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wizard Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanghamP Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 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).

Demargon Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 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?

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
