    Where's the one for trying to do a backflip out of a treehouse?


    Seriously, people, I am the consumer. Design for me!

    Do they have one for falling out of bed.


    Yes that's right. falling out of bed broke my friends arm.

    Though he was in a bunk bed. When i was a kid i must have fell down of my bunk bed like 5 times. 3 meters is enough to break a bone you know.

    Do they have one showing me falling out of a parked truck and breaking my collar bone? I notice there is none there showing a guy getting smacked by a woman. Damn sexism.

    I love this. Maybe it comes with a built in calendar to let folks know when the cast is coming off. A version for crutches would be nice too.

    Is there one that shows you courageously fighting off a horde of slavering ninjas?

    If only I'd had one of these when I dislocated my elbow years ago in HS playing football. It was like Lucas. Tiny kid, ball comes right to him, smeared. It was great!

    Except that I believe that the correct (and highly technical medical term) or that device is a "sling", and not a cast. Cool nonetheless.
