We rarely get to see an x-ray of a broken bone that cannot be straightened at least a little for the picture. This one has two broken bones, but the metal plates inside just bent at a 90 degree angle. Redditor tubatheist shared this image late last night. How did it happen?
Was on a nice leisurely bike ride - shoe laces got stuck on my bike pedal and wrapped around multiple times over. Fell off as I was braking to get them unstuck. I never want to get on a bike again 😫
Ouch. The plates were from four years ago, when he broke that arm slipping on ice. The real kicker is that this is the third time this arm has been broken. The first time was when he was only nine years old. The next time tubatheist renews his health insurance plan, they are liable to require a separate policy for this arm since it has proven to be a risky limb. Always double tie your shoes before riding a bike, and tuck the ends into the shoe. Read more reactions at reddit.
