Embarrassing InjuriesSometimes your mind isn't quite on the job in hand, the throes of passion get, well, passionate and something goes painfully wrong. Ok, so you wouldn't tell your mates how you got injured, but you can tell us... we won't laugh. Much.

waterloo hill in burtonis great when it snows. its long, steep, and half the town turn out, resulting in a kind of 'sledge/dodgems'.
apart from the usual limb breakages (of which there were always a couple) and idiots going down the slope on plastic bags, v large inner tubes and one year, a bonnett (?!), the main danger came from at the bottom of the slope.
now, at the bottom right of the hill was a footpath, and running all the way from the footpath exit to the left edge of the field was a large wooden fence around someones back garden.
this was obviously reduced to parts of fence if the snow was on the ground for more than a day, sledges not having the best stopping distance.
one year, three days of v cold weather and snow had turned the hills surface to an almost pack ice surface. and years of children coming thru the fence of this chaps garden had led him to replce the fence with low net and - barbed wire.
i dont have the scar anymore.
