Office worker Mr Coleman, 23, was 'tweeting' to his followers on his Blackberry while jogging to work when he cracked his head on a heavy low-hanging branch.
The force of the impact sent the dazed runner crashing to the pavement and left him with a badly bruised black eye.
Now Mr Coleman has vowed to keep his phone in his pocket while jogging the three miles from his home in St.Andrews, Bristol to work.
"I guess you could say I feel a right Twit," he said.

I'm sure he's not the first one to aquire a 'twinjury,' just the first person to feel the need to announce it to the world...outside of Twitter, that is.

That is true dedication to social media. Give the man some sort of award.

I don't comment here often any more, but seriously, when did a guy running into a tree become an interesting story?
This is absolute garbage.

I've been hit in the face by some errant branches whilst twalking. Happens almost daily (at the same spot - you'd think I'd learn.. you'd be wrong!) Didn't think I could get into a national paper for it!

"Barely bruised black eye" is probably more accurate...

I would be too embarrassed to even tell this story to my friends let alone a national newspaper.
Wonder if this would have made the press if he'd just been texting?

Twat!
Injured just so he could tell the world he was jogging to work, maybe if the branch had twittered him to say it was hanging low he might not have hit it. - 2 years ago

In other news, Mr Coleman is suffering from a bruised reputation after going to the press with his story about his twinjury.
"The branch came out of nowhere and hit my face hard."Actually, the branch was there. If you were paying attention to your surroundings and not glued to twitter you would have missed it. Twinjury deserved.
