Huh, I must have thick skull as I don't remember that one! Ones I do remember are having my arm jerked up and practically out of the socket, or having a hand of god type thing go on which bashed my head into a hull on the way up. My favorite was one where I was playing unconcious and a guy who races dragon boats just picked me up and placed me on the deck and said "alright, I'm ready to do CPR". You are right Shawn, there are a lot of safety concerns!
