That my younger brother Richard (the one that doesn't parachute) was involved in a parachuting incident a couple of weeks ago whilst he was in the Czech Republic. He's been very very lucky, in that he broke a bone in his spine, but is still fully functional, and should be ok. He did have a pretty big operation and supposedly has a huge scar up his back (chicks dig scars). He's going to give the full details himself here in the next few days, but in the mean time, here is his new metal work in his spine...

Gravatar Image4 - Best wishes to you and your family.

Gravatar Image5 - Guys thanks for all your wishes. Yep we parents had a real freak out. The phone call from Lucy (Richards Fiance) at 10:30PM was one of our worst moments. Then the wait for the outcome of the surgery on Saturday was even worse. We had no real idea what his true condituion was or what the hospital in Czech Republic was like. A very trying time - thankfully it looks like Richard will make a full recovery. He'll be 'metal micky' for a few years though. We can smile and laugh again.

Gravatar Image6 - Glad to hear everything going well for your brother Richard.

In ancient times the bigger the scar the better your status in society. I agree, this could work to his advantage when it comes to the ladies.

Best of luck to Richard.
