I was holding my lifting my Kayak with my left arm while I was trying to close my tailgate with the right arm. The arm was fully extended and Dodge Tailgates are made of lead it seems like. I could have totally prevented this, 1)I could have just strapped the yak to the bed and hung a red flag from the end, or 2) asked my buddy to help. Either one of those would have helped me prevent this injury. Fortunately I have insurance so it's been a releaf.

I highly advise everyone to think before lifting anything and if you need help, don't be too proud to ask, it could save you from surgery.
