Yes the chain broke and managed to get jammed between the front tire and fork, at the top. Looks like the chain also but a big gash in the brake wall of my front wheel.

Bikes: My bicycles?
I just got back from the hospital to stitch up a laceration on my upper lip. Was out riding today as usual and boom my face hits the pavement, that's how it felt, it happened so fast. I hit one of my front teeth pretty hard which gashed my upper lip. Also have nasty bruises on my chin and left cheek.
I was on a steep little hill, out of the saddle and the chain broke. Looks like the chain got jammed at the top of my fork, braking the front wheel. The whole bike lurched forward quickly and my face it the pavement.
Should of had that chain changed, was meaning to have it looked at since for a few days it was auto shifting up on most hills.

Those Campy 10s chains need close attention paid when connecting the chain. If you don't have the campy tool, the newest 10s compatible FULL sized Park works good.

I am thinking that win/loss record isnt going to get any better the more times you try it.
