Injuries - a distinct possibility when mountain boarding and always worth having a bit of knowledge to hand just in case you, or someone with you has a bit of a mishap and needs patching up before getting to A&E or hopefully just a nice bath.
BikeRadar have a nice article about 'First aid treatment on the trail' which although is obviously aimed towards the mountain biker covers "soft tissue injuries, with the occasional broken arm or collar bone". Sound familiar?
Along with some nice step-by-step repair your mates instructions, it also includes the usual advice given out about freeriding, i.e if you ride alone tell someone where you are going and for what duration; preferably ride in a group of two or more and carry a mobile phone and first aid kit with you.
All sensible stuff really and if it gets you sorted out and riding sooner, then so much the better.
