Be happy that you didn't break anything, get well!

I made a commitment to myself to never swing a leg over with out riding boots or a helmet(Very rare that I break that rule) Yesterday was a good reminder
7 years ago I bring the bike around from the barn to load up for a Hare Scramble the next day. I have 2 ways to get to the truck, putt around the yard or launch off the 5 foot high stone wall. I choose the wall, The bike kicks a little to the side. While in the air my feet come off the pegs alittle, not sure how but when I land my left foot miss the peg and my heal takes all my body weight. Instantlly I new it was major. I rode up to a tree and leaned into it and bellowed for my wife. Crushed the heel. More breaks than he could count. 3 surgerys 6 months out of work.
Allways gear up,
ED
