Broke my ankle the first time in Grade 10..practiced on it for a few days until it was too swollen to move. Tore my left ankle up in Grade 11. Broke my right ankle again in Grade 12. Walked around on it again until I couldnt move it.

My ankles hate me.

Re: Worst injury/injuries you\'ve sustained?
 

Driving home one night, I blew a tire going 40, and lost control, rammed the back of a parked car. It damaged 3 other cars with the force. The top of my head went through the windshield, but I didnt notice it until after the fact. The cop looked at my windshield, and asked if I had done that or the rear view mirror, I told her I wasnt sure, she checked the top of my head there was a small cut. She asked if I think I needed to go to the hospital, I said no. The End.

Madtown wins at this thread, as noted in what I assume was the earlier linked thread.

I once drove a nail into my hand backwards by slamming my hand into it when it was sticking out of a wall pretending to dunk.

Good to know it wasn't intentional.

mslif : all that in one incident?

I got hit by a pitch Soph year of HS and it busted my jaw. Fortunately not bad enough to have it wired shut, but I had a metal plate behind my bottom teath for 3 months and everything I ate had a "tinny" taste to it ... not good times. Also, it ended my ability to stand in against a good curveball and ended my ever so slight dream of college baseball.

That's what happen when people don't stop at red lights and hit pedestrians.

Re: Worst injury/injuries you\'ve sustained?
 

broken arm,
broke every finger at least once playing football except for my thumbs.

Tore my ACL (football)

had my head cut open by a fishing weight and lost nearly 2 pints of blood. Pretty gory scene seeing the artery shooting blood from my head approx 20 feet at a time. Veins that were cut sprayed a fine mist like a sprinkler. That kicked ass.

Re: Worst injury/injuries you\'ve sustained?
 

Car wreck got sandwhiched in my brother's civic by an 18 wheeler from behind into a pick-up truck.

I factured 6 spinal processes, 2 broken ribs, and a concussion. So I literally broke my back and had to be strapped to a board for about 7 hours until I went into surgery. 48 hours later walked out of the hospital.

Re: Worst injury/injuries you\'ve sustained?
 

In 8th grade I tried to jump a 6 foot fence by running, grabbing the top, hoisting myself up, and swinging my legs over. Well, my legs definitely hit, and I tumbled over on to my head, and on top of my left arm. I was so dizzy, and [censored] up from hitting my head that it took my friend to point out to me that my arm was broken. That's the worst I've had...I consider myself very lucky.

Re: Worst injury/injuries you\'ve sustained?
 

Collapsed lung and broken ribs from HS wrestling.

Three-day hospital stay for several injuries after doing a header off my bike and into a fence.

2/3 of my leg covered with third degree burns after a charcoal BBQ tipped over onto me.

The worst I saw though was this guy on our HS rugby team. He was running at a guy who was standing in a slightly crouched position catching a pass, to try to tackle him. He tripped about six feet in front of the guy and fell face-first into the other guy's bent knee. Face + Knee = crushed and collapsed cheekbone. Nasty [censored], dude's face was literally caved in.

Re: Worst injury/injuries you\'ve sustained?
 

I haven't had anything really serious, a few minor injuries.

-Tried to do a backwards cannonball when I was like 7, bottom of my chin hit the pool. Blood everywhere, six or so stitches, no more swimming for the rest of vacation.

-Stabbing holes in the top of a Gatorade bottle, when I was about 8. I missed, and stabbed myself in the hand(if you make an "L" with your hand, I stabbed myself at the corner of the L. Was pretty small cut though, didn't require stitches.

-Washing dishes, I was about 13. I had my hand inside a glass when it broke. It cut my hand(on the outside of my right hand, just below the pinky). There was a flap of skin hanging off, it was disgusting. Went to the hospital, nine stitches later I'm good as new.

-Playing street hockey when I was 14. Took a shot, fell right on my ass. Landed on my ankle, broke my ankle. Went back to school(this actually happened on the first day of sprink break) with a nice blue cast.

-My scariest injury. I was 15, and leaving a friend's house late at night. My friend was in the middle of the street, I came running down a big hill and yelled his name. He pulled out a knife and turned around. He accidentally stabbed me rigth where the wrist meets the hand. I was so scared, we thought he had hit the artery. We ran back in the house, kids parents took me to the hospital. One staple in my hand and I'm home in a few hours

-Last year, around Christmas. I'm sledding down a big hill with a creek at the bottom. I slam my head into a rock in the creek. I get up, walk home. My mom took one look at me and took me to the hospital, where I recieved 12 staples.

Re: Worst injury/injuries you\'ve sustained?
 

Note: This did not happen to me thank god

When I was about 12, being a punk little kid hanging out with friends at a playground in a park near our house, two of my buddies were having a swinging/jump competition, you swing as high as you can, and then jump off the swing, furthest jump wins. Kid gets some good momentum going jumps, hits his landing, but falls back a little, and falls on his ass, no big deal. He doesnt get up though, and is just sitting there on the ground, we were like WTF you didnt even hit the ground hard, he doesnt say anything. Then he starts puking uncontrolably, everywhere. Popped his sack with a nail.

This makes me want to cry...when you say "pop" did it actually burst, or was it just punctured with a little hole?

It was a fairly large nail. And he was 12, by pop, I mean pop.

Re: Worst injury/injuries you\'ve sustained?
 

I severely dislocated my right shoulder lifting weights. I was at the top of an overhead dumbbell press with 80lbs, and before I knew it, my right arm rotated 180 degrees backwards. I shredded everything and had to get a massive surgery. It ended my baseball "career" (hopes), but I got lucky. It didn't keep me out of aviation, and I healed decently enough. I just recently started doing shoulder presses again and managed to get back to well above the level I was at, working with 90-100 nowadays.

Also, I ran a motorcycle off the road at exactly 90mph. I picked up the bike and drove it home, later discovering that I had a very minor fracture of the wrist and a minor sublocation of the right ankle. So....pretty lucky I'd say.

This hurts me.

Re: Worst injury/injuries you\'ve sustained?
 

Mauled by my neighbors dog when I was 10. ~20 stitches, blood every where, and scars still remain.

Re: Worst injury/injuries you\'ve sustained?
 

I was actually going to post this in the thread we had a while back about the guy with the kid whose nuts had either not fallen or gone back up.

In about grade 2 or 3 some girl in the playground kicked me so hard in the balls that they said, "[censored] this, we're out" and they just went back from whence they came. Had to have the operation. Spent about 2 weeks in the hospital and at home with my nut sack tied to my thigh to make sure they would stay where there supposed to which is a tad uncomfortable as I recall. This was about in 1980 so the old style stitches on my scrote made it look like Frankenstein's monster's sac. Everything works fine now, it was just at that age where I was still susceptible to my nuts fleeing the scene. However, you could still see the scars if you decided to shave my balls, which I'm sure you are dying to do.

Re: Worst injury/injuries you\'ve sustained?
 

Fractured wrist, broken nose but the most painful had to be "torsion testicle". I was at work one day and got a felling in my lower stomach as if I had banged my balls, this got worse and worse, going from feeling like i had been kicked in the balls to feeling like someone had a hold of them and was squeezing as hard as they could.
I went to the toilet at work to have a look at them and they were pulled right up into my groin. when I came out of the toilet I could hardly walk and rang an ambulance. When I got to hospital a doctor had a look and diagnosed me with torsion testicle.
This is where the tube that feeds sperm to your balls has wrapped around one of them and is cutting off the blood supply. Before I went into surgery I had to sign a consent form saying I authorised the surgeon to remove my ball if the blood supply had been cut off for too long and it was "dead". I agreed and signed on the strict understanding that "if there's any life in it at all promise me you won't cut it off".
When I woke up I was given generous amounts of morphine,( really really nice), and found that each of my balls was held in place to my scrotum by a single stich. I vowed never to have sex again.

Re: Worst injury/injuries you\'ve sustained?
 

Dislocated my knee snowboarding. Tore my ACL, MCL, PCL , LCL, menicus cartilage and severed my patella tendon all in one shot. On top of that the snowboard sliced my leg open. It hurted.

Re: Worst injury/injuries you\'ve sustained?
 

Broken jaw, chin hanging way off my face, blood everywhere... jaw wired shut for months.... that sucked.

At least I killed the bastard who did it to me. That and I get to be more like Kanye (though his stuff happened after.... the biter).
