    My trainer said he had a trainee one time that insisted on strapping himself in with that dumb net. Said he got so tangled up in it he couldn't get out lol. Trainer had to help him out of it.
    I always figured those nets would be good for holding down squirmy lot lizards lol

    The main thing you need to worry about is the wound getting infected. Clean it very well; keep it clean, and look for redness, heat, and swelling beyond regular bruising. Or do the smart thing and see a doctor.

    The best is to see a doctor and get stitches or staples. debriding and cleaning it himself will most likely cause an infection.

    I'm pretty sure it's law not to sleep in the top bunk, while moving. Sorry you got hurt.
