Resilience now seems news worthy. A recent local TV item featured a mountain biking accident in which the `victim` ended up with the brake lever stuck through the flesh on the back of his hand from the wrist to the knuckles. We were warned repeatedly about the graphic nature of what we were about to see. And we did see the wound with the brake lever in place (the bicycle had been removed by kind friends), an X-ray, and the dressed wound after. The news worthy aspect was the victim`s response. He considered himself entirely fortunate – it didn`t hurt, no injury to bones, nerves or tendons, early and competent medical treatment, little damage to his bike, keen to get out again as soon as he was sufficiently healed.
