What Causes A Large Bruise On The Upper Thigh?

I suffered some serious bruising on my upper thigh from a tobogganing incident. The size of the bruise matches the size of my hand. Is it safe to fly? Should I be concerned about blood clots (it does not run in my family and I have never suffered from blood clots)?
