already saw that........... i don't think the boots would have saved the break but would have provided some extra suppport and made it not as severe an injury.

Always wear your boots kiddies! and i'm not talking about those ankle high wannabe boots, i mean the real ones, calf high with plenty of ankle support and cushioning.

Guys do crazy wheelies and such....guy does staggered high chair wheelie, puts bike down on its side (side his leg was hanging off of), it severs his foot almost completely off, he lays there moaning in agony till abulance arrives.....not a very comfortable stomach after watching the vid...
