A bumps race is a form of rowing race in which a number of boats chase each other in single file; each boat attempts to catch the boat in front without being caught by the boat behind.
Bumps racing gives a sharper feel of immediate competition than a head race, where boats are simply timed over a fixed course.
Although damage to boats and equipment is indeed common during bumps racing, physical contact is not required since the cox of the boat being bumped is supposed to concede before this happens.
Goose bumps (AE), also called goose pimples, goose flesh (BE), chicken skin (Hawaiian Pidgin), or cutis anserina, are the bumps on a person's skin at the base of body hairs which involuntarily develop when a person is cold or experiences strong emotions like fear.
Goose bumps are often a response to cold: in animals covered with fur or hair, the erect hairs trap air to create a layer of insulation.
The term "goose bumps" is therefore misleading: the bumps on the skin of a plucked goose technically do not qualify as piloerection.
