I was heavily reducing some casuarina windbreaks...(ok, almost topping, my one exception, casuarina windbreaks
)
a 4" x 6' stub slid down and landed butt end square on the middle of my thigh. I just swore into my face screen, cleared the tears out of my glasses rubbed it hard and kept going. OMG what a bruise!!
I should have got physio for it, it separated muscle fibres. I have a dent in my thigh muscle to this day, about 5yrs on.
