Bad Cross Country Fall

Haven't put a video up in ages!! No critisism please!
This was at the beginning of the summer. I hadn't ridden in a few months, I was recording my boyfriend and his friend, his friend asked if I wanted to jump a few fences. Ofcourse I said yes, hadn't ridden the horse before, litterally got up and jumped.
I know I was stupid for doing it but you live and learn! Looking at the video my strrups were too long so that probably didn't help the situation!
So came into the fence, horse took off wrong, stood on the front of the fence, jumped it weird, I lost my balance. Then he stuck his head up on landing and that was my balance gone completely! Came off the side and last thing I remember thinking ' right I'm gone, hope I don't get trampled!'. Not sure what happened then, looks like I fell heavily and hit my head.
I was knocked out for a few minutes, then started fitting. I was going in and out of consciousness, and apparently I told them to cancel the ambulance they were calling? I dont remember any of this! First thing I remember is having no feeling in my left arm and getting scared that it was paralysed...That was terrifying!
Went to A&E, I was fine thank god. I was so lucky, it could have been so much worse! Poor boyfriend got a fright, he thought I was a gonner :p

Anyway enjoy, I know everyone loves fall videos!!
