Broke my neck

I am sorry that you got hurt. But I am glad that you were able to make it back to the surface to get help. 8 weeks is a long time to be limited but it is better than a lifetime of not being able to move or even worse taking a dirt bath. You said you could not shoot? Does that mean even a .22? I mean you figure no recoil that maybe that's an option.
Anyways take care of your self and get healed up. Any injury that puts you out for any amount of time sucks. Prayers sent God bless bud.

I hadn't thought about a .22. That's a fine idea! At this point, I'm just staying at still as possible. Maybe in a few weeks I could give it a try. This is the one injury in my life that I'm taking very serious. I got lucky, so I'm not going to push my luck. lol

Thanks again for the support everyone!

We'll be saying prayers for you. I have a huge, deep pool. When I bought the house, one of my condtions was that the diving board be removed. I've had several cases that are pretty much like what you described and I didn't want to hurt myself or see any friends or family hurt.

Please be careful and make sure you get a really good doctor.

God bless

Oh Man!! You sound like one lucky guy!! Hope everything comes out okay!

That's some crazy stuff! I can see it happening but I've never even thought about hitting my head on the hump like that. Glad you are okay and thanks for sharing, I know it will me think twice before jumping off a diving board.

Hated to hear about your accident (and we missed you at the benefit match). Sure am glad you're going to be ok though. Keep us updated and prayers sent!

Wow! I've personally seen and treated people on the bad end of an experience like that. I can tell you that you are extremely lucky.

As someone else mentioned, that design is no longer considered safe. In order to have a safe diving end, the glide path has to be much longer than they used to make pools back in the 70's and 80's.
