So very, very true, Uncle Bob! I also think back to a couple of my wrecks in go karts, then later in race cars. Dad was always there to tell me that I'd pay for that one later in life. At the time I thought he was just some clueless old man, but as some of the misuse and abuse I've done to my body over the years I now have to admit that he sure was right!

If I'm fortunate I can save myself by grabbing something, but if not...I'm base over apex onto my nose or backside.
