Yikes! Ekorren, are you alright? Apart from what I hope is just a cut and the material losses... :-( Rincewind, 2011-10-03

Well, I wouldn't take the Trail of Blood ribbon if it was just a cut and damaged bike... actually, in that case I probably would have locked up the bike and continued by bus. There are several grazes and bruises, one flesh wound which accounted for most of the blood loss illustrated, but no severe injuries. So I'm well enough, given the circumstances. --Ekorren 16:14, 3 October 2011 (EDT)

Yikes! I'm sorry to hear of your accident! This picture reminds me of my own bike accident... I'm glad that there were no severe wounds! -Srs0 00:40, 4 October 2011 (EDT)

I don't think it was necessary to spread so much blood just to achieve the Trail of Blood ribbon. Get well and back on the bike soon. May I ask what the reason for your accident was? Usually it's a lack of concentration, but knowing the typical reasons might help preventing similar accidents.--Reinhard 03:24, 4 October 2011 (EDT)

Lack of concentration pretty much sums it up, plus a slightly wrong reflex. I just wrote a more detailed description and put it into the expedition report. --Ekorren 08:56, 4 October 2011 (EDT)
