well, I can support the blood being real theory... when I took a bike through a barbed wire fence in my teens I was pouring 2" diameter drops from my face the whole way back to the ranch house. I ran about a quarter mile before they saw me and picked me up to take me to urgent care.

As someone mentioned in the thread, the most likely scenario is carbon saddle rail failure followed by the sharp end of the snapped rail in the glute.

So now trainers are dangerous? Good to know. Now back to the safety of my rollers.

so I guess the takeaway from the injury thread. Those people who are not thinned from the herd via darwinism eventually end up Tri-riders?

Yes,
Hint, Do not set up rollers close to and parallel to big sliding glass doors.

I suspect the OP got a nasty gash when the flywheel of trainer disintegrated, ejecting a large chunk of jagged steel at a pretty high velocity.
^^^^this actually sounds like it could happen ^^^^

He never got back and posted on slow twitch. Everyone there just laughed at it all. There are too many gullible people here. That much blood is a transfusion candidate

Deb is an administrator at a small hospital in MX. An American lady got drunk (what else is new) and fell on her rear. Her misfortune was to land on a broken beer bottle. Turns out she nicked a small artery back there and since there was no local vascular surgeon, she had to be air ambulanced to TX (not a cheap event).
So I can see a trainer spill, or broken post leading to lot's of blood spilled. It doesn't take that much to look really bad.

The OP made a post in another thread at the slowtwitch forum saying: "...then a few months ago badly injuring my right leg.".

I know. It's just this guy is a troll and is pretty dramatic. He said just enough to duck in a lot of people and just evasive enough to get trapped

I never knew trainers could be so dangerous. Worst that's ever happened to me is a leg cramp.
