Adams Greek Adventure

I think my family is accident prone. Maybe it's just Adam and I because Kristin doesn't have any strange injuries. Ok, she fell over the banister onto a cement floor when she was little, but other than that she's injury-free.
While on Easter Break in Greece, Adam and some friends decided to rent mopeds(Vespas to be specific).
Here, in his own words, he recounts the event:

We found a dirt trail and decided to take it, and we're going over some really dumb shit with these things, like up steep rocky slopes and stuff. Eventually I hit a small rock that kicked the front tire to the side, and the vespa and I went down. I slid to a halt with the vespa on my right leg for about 5 feet. I only had very light scratches down my leg and arm, like purely flesh wounds. They did a lot of initial bleeding but clotted by the time I got the vespa upright again.
I returned to the beach while the other guys continue offroading. I washed the wounds in the Mediterranean and then, to sterilize my wounds I bought a cheap beer and poured it on the wounds; stung like hell. It wasn't until about 11 o'clock pm when I got back to the hostel and I finally got some sort of covering on these wounds. We've got a great video of the hostel owner pouring peroxide on all my scrapes. Tomorrow I'm going to go out and buy a new first aid kit because I think I used up most of theirs. Anyways, that was my day, sun, sand, and scratches. So that was my incredible, yet stupid day.

Sledding, off-road mopeding, hey we can't all have traditional injuries.
