Split Casts
Oh, on the subject of split casts, it's not that clear cut (er, sorry!!). I was signed off as fit to fly four days after having my wrist put back together last year (having fallen out of the sky) but the split is for pressure, not security, as most of you realise. In my case, I had a probably 320 degree plaster of paris cast with a 360 degree no-split modern cast over the top. (Yes, it was bloody heavy!!)
