No Brakes Resulting In Open Ankle Fracture

A 34 year-old woman is brought to the emergency department following an accident at a local tourist attraction. She was careering downhill in a ‘luge’ (a type of small 4-wheeled go-kart with handle bars for steering, foot brakes and, thankfully, no engine). To avert a collision with another ‘luger’ she tried to come to a sudden stop. Unfortunately, instead of using the foot brakes she reflexively put her right foot out of the ‘luge’ onto the fast-moving ground — she heard a loud ‘crack’ and experienced immediate pain in her right ankle as she crashed.

Re: No Brakes Resulting In Open Ankle Fracture

She was right about a foot 'break'!
It worked, but I think she was really looking for a 'brake'
