Characteristic airplane injuries

OUCH!

Jeez, um, I hope that 3 hr flight was not with a dislocated
knee....obviously, you had it put back in place first? I hope....

After not flying Cessnas for a while (sticking to low-wing Pipers), I
forgot
last weekend that when you get out of a 172, step OVER the wheel fairing
when turning to walk off - tripped over the wheel and dislocated my knee
(makes a frightful POP noise!) :-(

Painful to fly 3 hrs home after doing that!

And I've jammed the wing-tip strobe light fixture into my ribs about a
zillion times, walking around the end of the wing...

And while cleaning the bottom laying on a rolling cart, it's easy to
prong
the top of your head into the pointy aft end of the stupid nosewheel
pant...
