I recently bought a second hand Drop Leaf-Gate Legged Table in a local 'antique' (junk shop) it's the type where you and fold down the two wings/leafs so that the table is narrow and takes up little space, or you can open out the gates and then it is a huge table. I set it up in the bedroom as a sort of mini office as the bedroom is the warmest room in the winter and is away from the noise of the girls downstairs. Last night I used it and then left one of the gates extended and went to bed, then later I got up in the night to go down to the toilet, forgot it was there and crashed my right foot and toes into it at full throttle!
The wood amplified the sound of my toes crunching !
I ended up in a heap rolling around on the ground for 5 minutes in agony before I was able to get up and climb back into bed, while her ladyship 'Mrs Bucket' was in convulsions laughing at me cursing, I stupidly called her a fat heap so I will have to make my own breakfast in the morning! I decided that if necessary I would p155 in the bed rather that risk passing out the Gate Legged Table table again, but an hour later I mustered up enough courage to cautiously pass out the Gate Legged Table and relive myself.
While I had been on the floor earlier it got me thinking, if that amount of pain can result from walking into a bedroom table then how may times more painful is it to come off a bike at say 50kmh?
I have never actually fell off a bike while riding one, although I did fall on top of a bike while pushing one.
Is there a saturation point in relation to pain whereby say it is no more pain full to hit one's foot at 50km/k than at 10km/h?
