Partially reed related, but also just want to know how common it is. I have been
The Shop
1st time - like post earlier, first lap of race practice. A medium double into a sharp right turn, group of riders all bunched up at the turn ... clearly visible from before the takeoff that there was no room to land. As I rolled the double and stacked up at the corner waiting for the crowd to move some ftard launched anyway and landed on me. Ended up on the ground with fractured ribs and not able to move. I was already effing pissed but then ... after looking right at me and seeing I can barely move, he gets back on his bike and rides off. This is only practice mind you. Now that the corner is cleared and I am not visible lying on the ground ... the next riders all launch and it starts raining bikes on me. I was able to crawl / roll to the side somehow without getting a second bike hitting me. That guy was reallllly lucky my ribs were fractured and I could not track him down.
2nd time - practice. medium table, some guys in front of me don't clear the table, so I check up and hit the table mid-point standing up so anyone behind me can clearly see I am not trying to clear it. I am way over the right but some little twit racing with his bud tries to thread the needle. His bike comes down on my right arm. Again I go down. Somehow he saves it and never even stops. My arm quickly swelled up like a balloon. And yes, I waited for end of practice where they came off single file. Hit the little shit as hard as I could with open hand to side of his helmet. Knocked him off the bike. Told him next time he wants to be a hero to make sure the track is clear. His buddy tried to bark at me and I offered him the same. He declined.
And no, I was not going to break my knuckles trying to punch his helmet. You can ring someone's bell pretty good with an open hand clothes line hit.
Ended up with a broken wrist from it!
Man it sucks.

It was an accident, but I guess lije a car crash it gets you upset. We joked about it later.
Once was my fault when i went off a jump face one gear too low and cased the landing... Caught a peg/frame to the helmet on that one (or so i am told)... Woke up 3 weeks later on that one..
Second time some spode whiskey throttled over a single before a corner.. got tire marks on my back, other than that i was not injured..
