Re: What\'s the dumbest thing you have ever done that involves injury?
Punched the TV screen in 7th grade after I lost the Super Bowl in Tecmo Bowl (broke my knuckle). I was up like 42-7 in the 4th quarter then the CPU pulled that sh*t where all of a sudden their running back can run twice as fast as mine!?? WTF????
Also rode my bike down a hill with no hands while staring into the sky. Fell and ripped up my upper lip. 3rd grade. Held a firecracker in my hand while wearing a winter/ski glove and let it explode. The glove ended up with a large hole in it and my hand was semi-burned. This was around 9th grade. I got lucky though, because I was close to just holding the firecracker in my bare palm and letting it go off....

Re: What\'s the dumbest thing you have ever done that involves injury?
Not my story but thought worthwhile to pass on -
New Hampshire - Post-frat party Dude gets beyond trashed. Like basically comatose. If everyone else were not super-trashed, I get the sense he would've been taken to ER for alcohol poisoning. Anyway, he passes out face-first on a radiator (the old kind in east coast college dorms that are always on during the winter) - is not moved / does not move for some time (possibly an hour). Wakes up - one side of face disfigured (apparently to this day) - now known as "Radiator Face". Aloysius

Re: What\'s the dumbest thing you have ever done that involves injury?
I was about 10 years old, and a friend and myself were skipping rocks across a large puddle. I found a piece of broken bottle, and got the bright idea that, since the glass was smooth and all, it would skip really well. It did. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I got about 10-11 skips out of it, and only noticed a few seconds afterwards that the palm of my hand was all bloody. Only about 6-7 cuts, though, so less than one per skip.

Re: What\'s the dumbest thing you have ever done that involves injury?
In Jr. High, I rode my skate board down this steep, long hill behind our house with no forethought of what I would do when I go going too fast. I jumped on the board and started down the hill. When I got going very fast (I'm guessing 30 MPH) the board started wobbling and I knew I was going to loose control ....the board was wobbling so bad that I didn't dare move enough to drag a foot or anything for fear that I'd wipe out on the asphalt (I was wearing shorts and a tank top...) I decided the best thing to do would be to jump off and just run with it...
So I jumped off and ran with it.... for one step.....then I face planted into the asphalt... Aside from the obvious road rash and a huge bump on my forehead, I broke my arm pretty severly.... I went home and the first thing my mom did was chew my ass for being so stupid..... I felt like saying... Hey mom, WTF?? I'm hurt here..... why are you chewing my ass? Years later I realized that my dad was out of work at the time and the family had no insurance... No idea how much this ended up costing my parents but I'll bet it was a considerable amount. Mars

When I was younger I decided to karate chop a bus seat. The one thing I learn in retrospect is that children bones break pretty easily.

I decided I'd try and show how cool I was by doing it also. In high school I was somewhat overweight and as I said, completely crap at basketball. I took a runup, jumped, grabbed the ledge... but the runup I took gave my body momentum that carried most of me forward while my hands were back grabbing the ledge. I ended up horizontal before my hands slipped and I fell flat on the concrete ground on my back. Very painful, and very embaressing too. I was just trying to fit in. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Damn highschool social ladder structure, burn in hell you bastards. [/ QUOTE ] This made me laugh. Good story.
