Fin broke his leg in the Marshall Islands and took 2.5 days flying with the bone sticking out his leg to get to hospital in Sydney, Australia. He flew via Honolulu, USA, but lay on the floor in the airport waiting for a connecting flight when his insurance company told him he wasn't covered for the USA. The delay in treating the compound fracture caused a heavy infection and serious risk of loosing the leg. It took 16 days of IV antibiotics to get rid of the infection before doctors could operate and pin the broken leg.
