No harm in trying for post 17!

I guess this is as good a place as any to report the following quirky coincidence...

On March 5th, I was out riding my ATV (quad) on the OHV trail that connects Lake Pleasant, north of Phoenix, and Crown King, AZ, up in the Bradshaw Mountains.

I made a significant mistake and crashed, sustaining several bodily injuries. I cracked ribs 2-10 (=9) on my right side, and 2-9 (=8) on my left side, for a grand total of 17 cracked ribs (among many other injuries).

While in the hospital healing, I made note that perhaps some on the Q thread might find a modicum of humor in the tally.

17 cracked ribs?!
Sometimes 17 isn't all it's cracked up to be... Ouch!

And then there's all these other things more cowbell just won't help...

Couple of years ago I had my ATV roll backwards on a hill and land on my chest. Luckily my toolbox kept the full weight off me and ended up with only 2 cracked ribs and a mangled toolbox.
