Or was it sharp edges? I forget. I'm sure I saw a documentary about it on BBC2.

I've never been hit by a disc rotor when I've fallen off

Of course, it's easy to imagine how that could have happened....! [/url]

[i]Guns don't kill people rappers do,
Ask any politican and they'll tell you its true,
Its a fact music makes you violent,
Like Michael Jackson telling little Timmy to be silent,
You don't believe me? here's my hype,
Offer me the record and i'll show you the type,
Of criminal this rap shit is breedin,
Its a fact that MC Hammer left me bleedin,
Vanilla Ice made my mother say '****',
If I stuck with UB40 then I woulda been in luck,
But I didn't I got it wrong,
Cypress ****ing hill to me to make a ****ing bong,
So I started, I bought another tape,
That bad boy vibe made my cock and balls ache,
So remember kids from the head double tap,
Guns don't kill people its just rap!

Guns don't kill people rappers do
So of the police
Woo woo woo

Guns don't kill people rappers do,
I seen it in a documentary on BBC2,
Shot to death outside Hyper Value,
Guns blazin like Michael Cain in Zulu,
Guns with sadistic are sometimes misleading,
The type of criminal that rap is breedin,
Shot in the chest? No wonder you stopped breathin,
2 for the base over, are you receivin?
Remember rap tracks in '87
Scott the Rock's up ni Hip-Hop heaven,
Biggie and Tupac R.I.P,
Even Jam Master Jays in the cemetary.

Guns don't kill people rappers do,
I'm a ****ing rapper and I might kill you,
As a rapper I'm teachin you a lesson,
AK47 to Smith-and-Weston
Just say no, just like Zappo
Bullet proof vest, to guns and ammo,
Hip-hop gangster trippin,
Even Eminems into pistol whippin,
Its like cluedo murder one,
P-Diddy, J'lo in a nightclub with a gun,
Heard snoop dog now wants to bust a cap,
Guns don't kill people its just rap

One, Two yo face my shoe,
My name is Mike Balls and I'm comin through,
Gun crimes, stabbin, and burglarisation,
Its on a rise all across the nation,
The safety's off and the pistol is aimed,
Yardies and the Mafia always get blamed,
Politicians are shamed, and they haven't got a clue,
Rap is more deadly than ****ing Kung-Fu

Guns don't kill people rappers do,
From Bristol Zoo to B&Q,
I want to rap, I want to rhyme
Heard it in a song now I'm into gun crime,
Its a sign of the times like Prince changin his name,
Gotta have a shooter to be in the rap game,
Like Michael Ryan about to snap,
Guns don't kill people its just rap![/i]

Pure class! 8)

Had to call an ambulance for the first time ever on an outdoor ed excursion, student came off and somehow cut open his leg just below the knee, gash about 10 cm long, gaping open, down to the bone. The rotor severed his tendon, and cracked the bone. Ambo's gave him the green whistle which led to some very funny conversations as he became stoned off his nut.End result was 3 nights in the local hospital.
I'd never before seen a rotor cut but will be a little more careful me thinks.

Blunting the edges and not having a sawtooth profile is just common sense IMHO
The way the UCI dealt with the TdF "spinning machete" fiasco was not sensible at all.
Now waiting for a pro rider to get a 2nd degree burn from a brake disk, followed by another lengthy suspension and more rules.

and yet we had the bollards in Spain, stupid corners in the TdF, badly set up roads in the Olympics and nothing gets done...
