I almost broke my dang nose the other night. My neighbor has this little Honda Recon 250. He just put new rubber on it and I asked if I could try it out, so I was haulin arse down the street hit he dirt and went up a slight hill turned around and was coming back, tried to jump down a 5' embankment in 3rd gear, probably only about 20mph, anyway got a little airborne and then the sucker nosedived and so did my face right into the handle bars!! Instant nose bleed, not to painfull, didn't manage to break it either, but lotssa blood and a little swelling. Man I gotta use better judgement on crap like that. Just thought I'd share so maybe you or yours won't do the same stupid thing I did.

Handlebars yeah right.  The owner had nothing to do with your nose bleed once he saw his little ride?

Sorry about your pain, don't feel bad, I've done way more dumb sh-t than that. Remind me to tell you the story about my first nail gun experience. note to self: stay off Honda Recon 250

I just had a similar run-in with a co2 bb pistol a couple of months ago. Stupid gets all of us once in a while.

4 wheelers are TOO dangerous , my daughter couldnt join the military because of an accident on one of those. Glad you didnt get hurt too bad. I will stick to two wheels on and off road.

DOH! Nuff said! Glad you're ok tho. At least you were honest, maybe too honest in telling us! 
I'd rather ride it than clean it!!!!
