Memories
“This is the event where my right elbow was broken when Detrich von Vinebergen's sword broke on my shield edge (he is left-handed) and the broken part whipped around and cracked me above the vambrace - directly on the point where the ulna flattens and curves to form the joint (the Oelechronon Process, for you vocabulary nuts). The ER at Valley Med was overflowing (it was Fresno Relays weekend) hours passed until I was seen, the limb immobilized in plaster and we could return to Douglas and Lorna's house where the revel was taking place. My X-ray pictures were the hit (pun not intended) of the party.
Ironically, elbow guards were going to be mandatory the next fighting season (my own regulation no less) and mine was lying half-finished on my workbench at home.
It was the worst SCA fighting injury ever at that time. To say that I was concerned whether or not I would ever fight again is an understatement.” – Kevin Peregrynne
“A painful event all around. This was also the event where I stepped back from a rush by a Caidan fighter, my foot landed in a small hole, and my right knee popped neatly out of joint. I rolled to the ground, surrendered the fight, and walked (very carefully) to the sidelines. I didn't go off to the doctor's, but the knee went out twice more that day and it was a long time before I was comfortable with it.
I do remember when Kevin came off the field he was the calmest one there. He walked off saying something like "I think my arm is broken." and quietly stated that he thought he should go to the hospital while others were freaking out all around him. I remember waiting for a very long time for him to return to the event.” – Steven MacEanruig
