You're like me - get right back on. I crashed on a bike back in 2001 and messed myself up - not as bad as your injuries. My main injury was ligaments in left knee and a compound break of left forearm. I was looking for a new bike before the cast was off my arm. None of the dealers would let me test ride, of course, lol.
That's the spirit!

Holy hell Frankenstine!
Those are some long scars and why they leave that hole in your stomach? To drain access fluids?
That gear definitly saved your some added pain and gave you another chance. Get well soon!!!

I did have a couple other tubes, pumps, and drains plugged in various places and had so.e more inserted temporarily for some tests but all I've got left now is the staples and pain.

Damn dude I have never been AND hopefully never get to go through such a thing!
I keep seeing and hearing more and more about spills, yet I don't gear up. I better start especially since I've got a 4 month old boy and almost 3 year old boy.
Heal up and keep us posted on your next badass ride!

You're young. Pretty typical. My boys are more safety conscious than most of their peers (largely because I preach on it and they've visited me in the hospital after various accidents) yet my youngest still won't entertain a full face helmet.
(Having your kids watch a doctor cut steel splinters out of your eye with a surgical Dremel is a good lesson in wearing safety glasses...for kids AND dad...)
We all take risks every day. It's not for me to say what risk level is acceptable for somebody else. Live your life the best you can and never look back.

GWS?
I'very played it over 100x in my head and I'm really not sure what caused the accident. The nearest passers-by said my front tire blew out, but that doesn't seem right.
