My worst accident!! by Carlos Montealegre Padron


I will tell the story about my accident…
3 years ago when I was twenty years old I was at the BMX track in Belen, I was training on a Thursday for a race on the weekend. When I was practicing my start in the gate with other racer, In the first double big jump I crashed with another bike in the air, in middle of the jump and I felt down from a considerable height, when my hands touch the ground I felt a horrible pain in them, when I looked my hands were totally deformed and I was very scared, after five minutes my trainer, my friends and my mother arrived at the place of the accident and they helped me to lift me up.

My trainer called the ambulance and after 30 minutes it arrived for me, the paramedics stabilized my hands and gave me some drugs for the pain while we got to the hospital.

There made me 3 surgeries, in the first surgery the medics placed me 4 metallic rods on the left hand and in the other hand placed me one titanium screw. After 10 days the medics made me the second surgery on the left hand and realized me a reconstruction of my bones, placed me more screws and removed me the metallic rods.

Again the medics put a cast in my two hands during approximately 3 months.

After a year the medic told me that he would like to made me a new surgery on my left hand because the bones were separated and I needed a reconstruction with my own ligaments for my hand stand finally well and I needed a new cast.


After two months the medics removed me the cast and they told me that I had to go to physiotherapy, this experience was long, horrible and very painful for me but thanks to god I go ahead with effort and perseverance.
