good result, glad to hear it
 
Due to some previous parachuting experience, when I made my DIY crotch strap, I made sure it divided (one fixing point at the back and two fixing points at the front) so there was some free space in the middle.....

I don't think I would care to dive with a single piece crotch strap without protection of at least some neoprene.
On second thoughts definitely NOT.

Imagine using a scooter OOWWWWWWW!!!

Or even a giant stride with an inflated BC!

Just got back from the ultrasound---I'm having a boy!!! Sorry could not resist :wink:

All results were negative so there are no lumps, fluid or any twisting (hurts just saying it) of the blood or other vessels. The best guess is that I did bruise or somehow compress "the boys" and the only thing I can think of that did that is the crotch strap.

Oh.. and as for the nickname that is WAY to unfortunate a coincidence.

dolphins with a funny smile on their face did you?

Groin pull, not an equip issue.
Well, groin pulls cover a wide range of possible injuries, including adductor strains, osteitis pubis, sports hernias, etc (unfortunately, I know this from experience, not medical training). Also, a "groin pull" could be caused by the equipment as well, especially a strap through the groin. At a minimum, the strap could cause compression of the ilioinguinal nerve, which is also classified as a type of groin injury.
