Hey sir, thanks for asking. Yea I'll be ok. I landed in a yew bush on my right side. Ribs are bruised, wrist is sprained, ankle hurts, cuts and bruises mainly. (ER doc said I'll be ok in a week or 2)

I was lucky I didn't land on my feet actually. My right lower leg was surgically put back together a few years ago. Had a twist fracture (4 places 2 compound) in my tibia/fibula. Needed an IM rod inserted down the entire length and a ton of plates and screws ( I'm bionic now lol , actually a procedure developed by the Germans during WWII ).
 I'm fortunate that I didn't land directly on that as I have no clue what would have happened if I bent that rod down the center of the bone.  

Actually scared the hell out of my insured who saw the while thing happen lol

 I was surprised at the age of the group when I went to a Air warrior convention years ago. I imagine it's the same here. Majority are  40s or above. I am 58 now and I think most of the players in my squad are 40 plus.
