Ferret - Scary title on this thread. Relieved to find it wasn't life threatening, but the your injury is clearly pretty bad. Hoping for a speedy recovery for you and the FJR.
Here's what I found on the web:
A radial head fracture may occur if you put your hand out to break a fall. The force of impact travels through the radius and pushes the radial head into the bottom of the humerus with such force that it fractures.
Putting your hand out to break a fall is the instinctive response. Many, many years ago, I broke my wrist trying to teach my kids to skateboard when I put my hand down to break the inevitable fall. Inevitable because I really didn't know what I was doing.
Finally, in a lame attempt at humor ... Were the RLETS OK?

After 7 hours and 300 miles of curves I fall turning around in a parking lot lol. Still cant figure out how I got hurt since I was armored up head to toe, and I fell less than 3 feet.
Put 110,000 miles on the ST and close to 50,000 on CB's in the last 10 years without any of them hitting the ground. Only 3500 miles on the FJR and BAM ...well more like GRUNCH lol
