Default How many people have broken a wrist?

Well I broke my second wrist in 2 1/2 years Sat. This really sux! I was wondering if this is a common break in ATVing. I went to make a pass and driften into the grass with the left tires and hit a tree that had fallen down and was covered be the grass. Oh well maybe it's time to move on to a mudding atv.

ive broken my wrist twice on my left. Not from atving, from snowboarding. Ive got some decent sprains from atving tho. I think it helps at what angle you hold the grips because sometimes i accidentally jam my palm into my wrist. Eh, who knows. Dont go to muddin man' stay with the trailriding.

I've done it also in the dunes. Hit a witches eye and my thumb broke the lever on the bars. I was away on a riding trip and I was determined to ride so I rented a Polaris [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Do not try this at home!

Since i took up riding again in 2001, here is the list;

separated left shoulder
dislocated right shoulder
broken left fibula
broken right fibula
both ankles dislocatd
4 broken ribs
broken left wrist

I can't remember why I ever quit riding in the first place.

Here's a tip, don't go riding while you are in a cast.

Never broke it, but sprained my right wrist really bad. I wear a cheap wrist brace from Rite Aid now for that wrist, has a small steel support in it that runs up the palm of my hand, so it actually sits on the handlebars. Doesn't affect my riding at all, and when my wheel catches that Did't-see tree, the steel brace pushed my arm back instead of just my wrist. Well worth the $15!!!
