Althoug the video clip does not show it, Malarchuk skated off the ice under his own power to a waiting ambulance. He was back in goal two weeks later.

A coventry player whose ankle just snapped completly with bits all over the place, the MAn uTd keeper covered his eyes and ran away from it.

Ankel Busted Picture there (http://www.360soccer.com/resource/bussted.html)

Excerpts and photo from the Daily Star, Tues., April 9, 1996

An horrific injury to Coventry defender David Busst overshadowed Manchester United's march towards a third Championship in four years.

The Sky Blues injury jinx struck again in the most gruesome of circumstances after just 70 seconds.

Busst lay in agony, his blood staining the turf, after colliding with United's Denis Irwin as he-charged in to try to notch a shock goal. The massive 50,332 crowd - the biggest domestic attendance in nine years - was shocked into awful silence as Busst had his legs strapped together before being carried off.

He later endured three hours of surgery for a compound fracture to right leg.

Players from both teams were visibly horrified as they turned away from Busst's prone figure, inside the six-yard box.

Play was held up for nine minutes, partly to allow groundstaff and United keeper Peter Schmeichel to clean up a dark patch of blood in the goalmouth.

McGahee's was pretty bad, but not near as bad as all the ones stated above. Tom Browning(Cincy Reds) nearly throwing his arm off was pretty sick as well.

Napoleon McCallum, Raiders RB, in a Week 1 Monday night game against the Denver Broncos about 12 years ago. McCallum planted his right leg, then was hit by two Broncos in such a way that his leg folded *forward* at the knee about 90 degrees. Couldn't run even several years later.

Also, there was the Indy driver whose legs were sheared off in a crash, and somehow survived -- was it Alex Zanardi? Didn't see that live, but saw tape on CNN the next day.

it was vs. the 49rs in week 1 MNF, and yeah...that was horrible.
I was playing HS football at the time, and nobody wanted to practice the next day.

I'm afraid to click anything involving powerlifting. Is that the one where the dude's doing a squat and, uh, loses a few things?

Mine was up close and personal. My college football team, we punted and were covering and our center collided with an opposing player and broke his arm and the bone popped right through the skin. Pretty gruesome to see.

I play baseball in an over 30 league. During the playoffs two years ago, our pitcher snapped his arm throwing a curveball. I was the third baseman. It sounded like a damp branch snapping underfoot (odd analogy, I know). I have a .bmp file of the guy's x-ray. If anyone can post it I can email it. Classic rotary fracture.

That actually reminds me of when Dave Dravecky snapped his arm on a pitch against the Expos just after coming back from cancer. Gruesome.

One that comes to mind is Kermit Washington clocking Rudy Tomjanovich in the face, crushing Rudy T's entire face.

I heard an interview with him on the radio last year, and he was telling the story of the aftermath. The hospital he was sent to had to do one of those "pull the neurologist out of the party" deals and when the guy showed up, Tomjanovich asked him if he was going to miss any games. /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

The neurologist asked him if he tasted something bitter in his mouth - Tomjanovich said, "Yes." and the neurologist says, "That's brain fluid." /images/graemlins/shocked.gif /images/graemlins/shocked.gif Oops. Playing career over.

I haven't seen too many crazy injuries but the two that I've seen have both came against the same team in different games, including one two days ago.

I play on an intramural soccer team that is freaking insane, we usually win somewhere around 5-1. However there is one other team that is just as good. So we start playing them and its gonna be a battle, so I've got the ball and I kick it up past the D and our guy is running full speed, and the goalie is running out at full speed. The reach the ball at the same time, except the stupid ass goalie decides to slide feet first into our guy cleats up outside of the box (ref says that would have been a red card, if not for what happened...) they collide, both knocking eachother out. The other guy is bleeding from his face, still unconscious for like maybe a minute. Our guy gets up and has a concussion, but this guy who he hit was so bad they had to take him the the trauma center. They cancelled the game and we only played 10 minutes.

So we don't play them again till this quarter, and this game is wayyyy gnarly. They is beating us due to a dive in the box resulting in a penalty kick, and then one of our guys got a red card for telling the ref to go [censored] himself and then grabbing his sack. Anyways, later in the game we're on D, and a ball is kicked up for the other team. They are right on the end line and our guy kinda nudges him as he is running towards the ball and he looses his balence. The unfortunate thing is there isn't an out of bounds area on that part of the field, so he runs full speed into a metal fence, breaking his hand, cutting his face, and getting a concussion.

Same team, two [censored] up injuries all in a Mens-B leauge that doesn't even allow slide tackles.

I haven't read through all the posts, but unless someone has mentioned a bullfighting injury, that is the winner. They are just shocking to watch. I suppose, however, you could argue that bullfighting isn't a sport.
