I'm sporting two still very sore thumbs that i likely hairline fractured in the july race. I've long preached about no hooking em, but when i shift gears and one hand it in the rocks, i unconsciously wrap the one on the wheel. sure enough, kept nailing the same big rocks each lap. once i'd killed my right thumb and couldn't hold the wheel with it i started hooking the left thumb since it was the only hand on the wheel. sure enough killed that one too. wasnt' til lap three that i could spot the rocks i'd been hitting and avoid most of them.
have also roll tested the rig twice, once back in 2011 or 12 that saw a crushed forearm when my arm went thru the roof bars and a second time back in june which resulted in no injuries because i held on. that is until i popped my 5-point latch and banged a shoulder dropping out upside down
