I think we all feel that way..despite making skull the butt of our jokes....really do hope that it ends up the best case scenario, as the other option could lead to all sorts of troubles/complicationsLukeyboy wrote:God damn! I already said it before but get well mate.

Yes, I know a person that had his seatpost clamp bolt snap too (single bolt). He showed me the cut/abrasion on his inner thigh from the seatpost.wombatK wrote:Broken seat clamp bolts seem to be common enough to justify the question:
why are so many seat clamp's attached with just one bolt ?
Do you think a two bolt post would release the saddle more slowly when broken, or do you think it would be less likely to break?

On the issue of snapped or failed seat bolts. I don't know any statistics for failed seat bolts, but I would think back to an earlier discussion about snapped seat bolts,

Usually I try (like others have) to lighten the mood by making some bad puns, but honestly, I am grimacing thinking about it.
I hope you avoid a colostomy bag, and get back everything back together as soon, and as discomfort-free as possible.
I just hope you weren't on your Mtn bike with super aggressive muddies on it....

I can't imagine a regular arse-hatchet would be very helpful for the healing process...

Hope all goes well and if you end up with the bag you can blame the farts on it.

Ouch, nasty. Heal fast.
As for boring, I spent 4 months and 3 days in hospital after my mishap. It can get a little tedious after a while.
* for those that don't know, Jan Rehula was a pro triathlete, Bronze medal at Sydney Olympics, and had a distressing injury from a very similar incident in 2001, but his was far worse. Much worse than made out in this article (I won't elaborate as it's pretty gruesome):

BTW if you weren't happy with rim brakes, I reckon disc were probably the next progression, or even Swiss stop yellow pads, I reckon your idea could be a bit extreme and not sure it will catch on.
Best wishes.
