Fail Army would have been glad to have a video of said event i am pretty sure
i know several folks that have had some real tough outings in wooden deer blinds
one of my buds collapsed both lungs and blew out the whites of his eyes in Mississippi in a wooden blind that gave way . told me he laid on his back pretty sure he was going to die for a good while .
Another bud bounced down a big oak after a grab board gave up and broke his wrist and back .
both crawled to their vehicles and made it out alive .
the one with the broke back drove almost 2 hours home before he realized he really needed a doctor , said his wrist really hurt and swelled up big .
wore a body cast for quite some time over that spill .
i never knew i had the knot until i got home to change clothes into something a bit drier .
its an hour to my house from where i was , and i had on 3 layers of clothes on top .
its a funny thing how being distracted over an ankle/shin skinned up on one leg and froze foot on the other can act as a pain reduction medication for another body part .
one thing for certain luck has some play in it and probably an angel or 3 as well .
the purple is about gone now and the arm hurts high up on my tricep at this point .
i imagine the "iron cross" move is more of a gymnast move than a regular guy thing dont ya know
