Paul Kennett of the NZ Police has founded what is believed to be the first broken leg recovery room online. Entitled ‘My Broken Leg,’ the website was inspired by Kennett’s own biking accident and has quickly caught on with users worldwide. “It dawned on me that I could set up a site to let people tell their stories,” he says. “Non-broken-leggers tend to underestimate how much of a drama it is. I haven’t heard of any broken leg support groups out there in the real world. So the website pulls all those geographically spread people together.”
