Eric's broken arm

Well there's a story behind this one...

Eric is very enamoured with Parkour and he walks on the fence, does flips on the trampoline and climbs all manner of obstacles including the wall over our stairwell.

So he was balancing on top of a 5 foot industrial laundry bin in the back yard when his bonehead older brother raced at him full speed with the riding lawnmower (blades running) in a most successful attempt at making Eric fall. Needless to say Eric was lucky to still have an arm. The bonehead older brother is lucky that his mother kept me from killing him.

Eric fractured both the radius and ulna and had to have both bones plated.
It was a closed fracture eg less chance of infection, and he has maintained sensation in his hand and is able to move his fingers.

No more Parkour for a while.
