1 tonne steel beam vs Splitpin

[Splitpin]

If my replies to some posts seem a little short , its because Im in pain and bloody grumpy. Got whacked in the chest by a big hunk of steel with one bolt in it !!
Its a long story , but the 7mtr bit of steel with a bolt in the end knocked me off my feet .... the bolt in it, went right between my ribs ...i thought I'd been shot ... bloody hell .... im black and blue from here to there

Owch that sounds bad! No worries Pin!

It didnt happen if you dont have photos! (this is the ex-medical side of me talking - some of us like to see that kind of human damage - for educational purposes of course)

But seriously, hope no major damage was incurred and rest up and take it easy!

Bloody ell ... you trying to get into competition with me , ... had ya had me hanging or maybe a dangling on the end off the beam the impact may have been a little softer !

So how does the beam look, now?

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thanks team ..... (Mike the beam is good , it won ... but we made up ) went to the vet this arvo , and then for an x-ray (yes, i held off ) .... seems i have 2 cracked spars, and some other stuff.
I tell you what , this hurts like nothing ive felt before , not just man pain (as my ex would say) its ok if i dont move , breathe, or talk and the meds they gave me just knock me out .... so ive halved what they recommend ..... i hate medication....

@ Steel .... you stay away from me ....ok (for a day or two anyway)
and as for you Dean .....

Thanks again .

S.P

SP you will be 'beaming' from ear to ear before you know it.
Guess you will be sitting 'bolt' upright for a while.
Sure to test your 'mettle' too
Get well soon!
