I wasn't lined up to get up the ramps, so instead of backing up and gettin straight I decided a quick goose on the gas was all I needed to kick the rear end around. Silly me. The rear came around, but the microsecond I let off the gas the rear tires hooked. The momentum, combined with a little slope to the ground, was just enough to tip it over. I didn't even realize anything was wrong until someone pointed at me and mentioned the HUGE knot on the top of my shoulder. I pushed down on the knot and felt something squishy-grind back into place. I knew right then it wasn't going to be good.
(edited to add) After a good bit of research, it appears I have a classic Grade III AC Joint seperation. Grade III sep is a majority or complete tear of both the acromioclavicular and coraco-clavicular ligaments which is charaterized by moderate to severe joint pain, swelling, bruising, and pronounced dislocation of the clavicle (usually appearing as a noticeable bump above the AC joint). Luckily, the treatment in indivduals where the injury is to the non-dominant side, and where the person is not constantly involved in vigorous or strenuous activities (i.e. pro sports or jobs with a lot of very heavy lifting), is usually immobilazation, time, and some follow-up therapy and exercise. If required, the joint can be surgically stabilized later. Let's hope this is truly the case. Fingers crossed until tomorrow...
