Most Horrific Sports Imagery

[ripdog]

Thought about this over the weekend a bit. I think that the "gold standard" for really disturbing imagery is the super-slo-mo of Theisman breaking his leg against the Giants.

What I find even more distubing are the videos of pitchers breaking their arms during the delivery of a pitch. The follow through is hideous. The arm unnaturally wraps around the back and the pitcher falls to the ground screaming. Then they show video of his comeback attempt where it happens all over again. I think I'm gonna be sick...

There is some great stuff on skateboarding videos as well, but I don't think OOT think of it as much of a "sport."

This thread begins and ends with Theisman, But an honorable mention goes to Dave Davecky and his arm breaking mid-pitch.

Was there a good close up of Robin Ventura breaking his leg? I remember the ump turning away in horror but not seeing the leg actually twist backwards.

Assuming that kickboxing video was real, there's that one where a guy gets kicked in the leg and it just snaps under his weight. I could never watch that without reeling.

Musa Smith getting his leg broken last year was pretty sick, obviously nothing near Theismann though.

FYP.

Getting hit in the cheek/eye with a line drive was horrible, and there is a lot of footage of it in slo-mo.

Fred Archers injury was far worse than these.
