Mountain bike shoulder injuries are freaking bad. Buddy had an A/C separation... almost came through the flesh.

Not sure, i think it's stainless.. it's a reverse replacement, the ball and socket are reversed.. i have almost full mobility which is amazing.. i still play drums 2+ hours every night. I crashed a mountain bike and my body made a sound like glass shattering.. i broke the ball/socket/arm to the elbow.. basically everything except my collar bone..

P.S. i don't see myself ever flying anywhere.. so shouldn't be an issue :)

Wow did you drive your bike off a cliff, holy cow! Maybe speed plus tree/rock. Sorry, sounds like that was one painful accident, hope things start feeling better.

Yeah, i have fallen hundreds of times (i jump and pushed myself all the time) and i would tuck my arms in tight and land on a shoulder and slide.. This time i twas in soft dirt/sand.. so when i landed from about 6ft/20mph i didn't slide i just STOPPED and my body took the hit

Yeah... fortunately my serious departure-from-earth falls have been while skiing. Way more forgiving
