During the past four years that I have been mountain bike riding I have had my share of wrecks. Like tattoos, I have visible reminders on my body to remind me of my wipeouts. I have a small, pen eraser size scar on my upper right arm where a small tree limb jammed into my flesh. The doctor had to dig it out. I have two, two inch diameter brown, circular scars on both of my hips from strawberries I got from sliding out on the road. I have a two inch scar on the right side of my face from a wipeout I took at Flat Rock Ranch last year when I lost control on a descent and hit my head on the ground, cracking my helmet in seven places and breaking the arm on my sunglasses which cut me open. It took 15 stitches to fix (that's me in the pic after the stitches). You should have seen the look on my wife's face when I came home. I'm surprised that my wife even lets me ride after all my accidents.
