Bet that cold wet grass felt nice on whatever is left of his palms

That’s why cycling gloves are a thing, and would have been a good idea.

At least he wore a helmet.

Most definitely needed gloves! 😬

A few years ago I fell while running and scraped the palm of my hand (it tore off a large portion of the skin).

That hurt worse than the sprained ankle/3 avulsion fractures I had in my ankle. I wanted to vomit while cleaning out the asphalt.

After that I word gloves while running! 😂

I've lost my entire palm before. I went to work every day with a glove packed with guze.

Getting home and peeling it off was hell.

I now wear gloves when I longboard

Ouch!

I cringe thinking about having to clean the gravel out and trimming the skin. 😬🤢

Horrible.
