Worst injury/injuries you've sustained?

First grade, I was fighting over the front seat with a friend. I got it, and he accidently slammed the car door on my thumb. The LOCKED car door. It was in there a good twenty seconds before someone was able to open the door. My thumb was just shattered. And if my thumb had been about an inch higher, the lock head would have gone through it and I would now be minus one thumb. It was a close call.

I've actually never broken anything in my life, despite years of sports. The worst I've gotten was in tenth grade during the first day of basketball tryouts when I sprained my shooting thumb. The second day I wrapped it up and played left handed, and then I sprained my left thumb. So for the last three days I couldn't shoot beyond a layup and could only dribble with my palms, and everything I did hurt. I still made the team though.

just a broken arm, nothing cool

[ClaytonN]

Heavy concussion + lost 3 teeth playing rugby / smear the queer. Couldn't play football after that. that was gay.

The concussion was the variety where I was basically in a dreamworld but to everyone else I was conscious and babbling. The experience has since given me a "too drunk" phobia. HAH.

Broke whatever the really big bone in your thigh is. Got tackled by a big kid and landed between him and a ditch full of big pointy rocks.

Been stabbed too, but that didn't end up being as serious as it sounded.

6 concussions doing a variety of stupid things.
18 stitches in my head at 5 years old after hitting a fence post on a dirtbike.
another 20 stitches at 10 years old cause I dove and hit the bottom of a pool.
broken nose twice when I was 16, once due to an airchair accident and the other a dirtbike accident.
3 broken ribs at 18 after slipping while cliff jumping and landing way wrong.
blew my right knee all to [censored] at 19 while skiing in park city and smacking a tree.

There is more to list but I dont have time right now.

tore acl in knee playing basketball

[InchoateHand]

Concussions, lots of lacerations, cracked my lacrimal bone landing on my face, the usual runners aches and pains---bursitis, heel spurs. My teeth are pretty much swiss cheese at this point (don't do drugs kids). [censored] up fingers on my right hand, partially helped by surgery. Lots of internal maladies---fatty liver, scarred up lungs from double-pneumonia, etc. etc.

That said, other than my fingers and my face, I've never broken a bone in my body, and neither of those really count, because they aren't exactly cast situations. I've also been lucky, given my former propensity towards abysmally stupid behaviour.

[Punker]

I was hit by a car when I was 15 and my left ankle was utterly destroyed. Multiple screws to hold it back together and cast for months. I wasn't right again for nearly a year. Lucky I didn't step out 2 seconds earlier or it wouldn't have just been my lead leg getting hit.
