Low-sided at about 130 kph. Results are a shattered scapula (shoulder blade) and some broken ribs.
Since nothing can be done but wear a sling, it looks like a fairly painful next few weeks.
In the course of the 14 hours it took from entering the hospital until leaving it, I had a number of interesting conversations with various doctors, nurses, and others. One of the most amusing was the doctor that asked, "Now, was this event totally unexpected or did you intentionally 'lay it down'?" I had to just look at him for a second before saying, "No one intentionally lays it down." (That's a common motorcycle myth, based in justification after the fact rather than decision making before.)
Another interesting conversation I had repeatedly was to explain that the crash occurred on a race track. Every time I started with "I was in a motorcycle crash...", I would see those disapproving tsk-tsk looks. I soon realized that these looks went away once it was established that I was participating in an organized event. Then, nobody could believe my injuries weren't more serious. One nurse refused to believe that I had been in a high speed motorcycle crash because I didn't have a mark on my skin. I was referred to by more than person as one of the "good" bikers that wears protective gear.
Of course, there was the EMT (transferring me to a different hospital) that asked, "How in the world did you get your mountain bike up to 130?"
