Fuck, I just logged on this evening here in the USA, it's already Sunday morning over there, saw the thread and my blood went cold.
Read through it from the top, and was mightily relieved to see that Dave is doing ok-ish. A flail chest is a motherfucker, makes breathing very difficult until sorted out. I'll not go into the dynamics of it all here, but I'm guessing that Dave was very lucky not to get intubated on the scene.
Ganjaman, good crash buddy

Not the best crash, but still a good one because you have survived.

Get better soon man.
