I broke my wrist skateboarding about 10 years ago, it was a bad compounded break. I didn't have a mobile at the time, I had the one manual car (broke left wrist) we owned...long story short someone else there called an ambulance for me (I'm a member)

I felt really guilty and apologised to them when they arrived, they looked at my wrist and said I did the right thing ..... but they said what they do get annoyed about is all of the old local footy players who do a slight injury and call for an ambulance.
