Ugh, that's fucked up. I've only really fallen once (a few close encounters) though I've biked like ~750 miles for the last three year, and I broke my fall with my hands, though it didn't feel pleasant.
How's your chin now? Looks like one side was caved in slightly, does it look like that still? I don't know much bout that shit but, did you like have to drink everything through liquids the whole time?
I was riding at a bike park with some friends and his dad, we were on the family trail heading back to the car park, just cruising... nothing serious. We go over a patch that has loose sand and my friends dad was going a bit slow and the wheel dug in caused him to go over the handle bars. His hand also got stuck around his handle bars which caused the brake leaver (which is blunt as hell as you should know) to go through his palm and out through the other side.
Luckily there was a medic riding behind us and gave him some painkillers or something.
It's just scar tissue now. Luckily it's on a not-so-visible area on my chin. Hair on my chin covers it up quite nicely. And yeah, liquids for 2 months straight. I lost like 25 pounds and I'm already skinny as it is (currently 6'0 170lbs). And then you have to learn to eat again because your jaw isn't aligned properly.Eventually it goes back into place but it's still a bitch.
I was just in a shitty situation. Was riding on the busiest street of San Diego. Some asshole was too far right in his lane and continued moving in that direction. Forced me to hit a parked car. I was going pretty fast so the momentum is what did it.
