We were racing a few years ago and during the beginning of the race I came up hard under the boom and cut my head open. My crew was an MD and I asked him to look at it. He said it was okay (keep in mind he is very competitive) so I padded my hat with paper towels and the bleeding stopped. After the race my wife finally made it to the lake and I had her look at it. We then immediately went to the hospital where I received 5 staples to close the wound. Oh, by the way, we won the race.
