Hey everyone, I am a industrial designer and am currently working on a project to improve the quality, comfort and effectiveness of knee braces specifically for BMX riders. Ive posted a link to the survey which i have tried my best to keep simple and painless. I hope to see some further discussion on the subject in the feed. Thanks Again! BooBadBug

oh god yes... i could feel it rip itself in half from one side to the other. worst pain i've felt in my entire life.
it took 3 shots of morphine and two shots of dilauded (which my dr told me is one step under heroin) in order to get the pain under control. then i had to wait a week on the couch with a broken knee cap to have surgery to fix it.

if they gave you 2 shots of that dilauded stuff, why didnt they just give you the 1 shot of heroin?
