Many years ago (late 90s) I did a mountain biking day trip on a trail called cherry mountain loop in NH. The loop was mostly logging road, and had a ton of washboard. There was one section where you're going downhill for a few miles and could really get moving fast, and the vibration from the washboard (this was before I owned a suspension fork) was punishing.
At the end of the ride I realized that the stem of my watch (the little knob you use to set the time) had pounded up and down on the back of my hand so much with the washboard that it had literally worn the skin away and I was bleeding.
