Bo, I sympathize with you and your wrist. Back when I used to play soccer, I got a nasty wrist dislocation from being tackled and putting out a hand to break...
I would go with the shoulder. Using your hand might not contain an injury to your wrist and at the outside of the shoulder are many more muscles. 2 years ago...
On the other hand, or shoulder I should say, I went down a couple of years ago on a mountain bike, landed on my shoulder and broke my ribs. When I fell...
I am not certain of the research behind this, but it seems to me that putting out your arm in a locked fashion is a great way to break your shoulder and or...

It was early in the am. Anyway, could have been colder in the am. Whatever. Bad accident in March. It is January, so I don't expect the conditions to be...
I actually feel rather embarressed relating this story. It happened. It was a warm March morning. The insurance company sent us an inquiry to which we had...
