I guess that is one way of looking at it

Three broken toes is not an injury,just a consequence of impact.I love it,these guys are crazier than hell.

The pain in his right foot he doesn't consider an injury. The left foot is in the cast.

I think he was referring to his other foot which apparently has no bony injury, only severe pain from soft tissue injury. These guys have the pain threshold of concrete.

Hurt and injured are 2 significantly different things.

i really hope this guy can bounce back from all the high sides. he definitely has the talent to win gp races, and even championships. he's not my "favorite" rider, but i give props where props are due.

Guy was greased lightning early in the season, but instead of pacing himself he kept riding hurt and with the Laguna ejection seat depressed and another acrobatic somersault....here we are. I just hope he's not the next McCoy....riding like a guy being held together with elmers glue and popcicle sticks....

The ability to overlook that injury or minimize it...

Best exemplified in Monty Pythons "The Holy Grail" 1975

The Black Knight

[the Black Knight continues to threaten Arthur despite getting both his arms and one of his legs cut off]
Black Knight: Right, I'll do you for that!
King Arthur: You'll what?
Black Knight: Come here!
King Arthur: What are you gonna do, bleed on me?
Black Knight: I'm invincible!
King Arthur: ...You're a loony.
