What was the worst injury you've had? I haven't got much injuries but my worst was when I was like 5 or something and I broke my big toe by dropping a huge rock on it
Interesting thread. In summer 2008, I went down a water slide (it's basically like a normal playground slide except it's a lot taller and leads to the sea) and hit my head on the end of it. I figured out I wasn't laying the right way, then went again. I hit the back of my head again and it hurt even more, but I thought that was it. Then the kids I was with who were at the top of the slide started screaming: "Blood! Blood!" I put my hand on the back of my head, and it was covered in blood. Long story short, 4cm wound, 7 stitches.
Pulled a muscle in my playing gatorball my freshman year of high school. I just heaved the ball at the guy a little too hard.
Fractured ulna- Jumping from a roof and falling on a metal pole. Torn meniscus - Playing football, bad tackle and it gave out like a week after running on it. Ankle twist- Football two months rest very painful when contact was made. Average hamstring pulls not painful like the ones above.
Few months ago I was trimming a tree and one the tools we use is a pole with a hook PHP: on the end. Pull the rope blade comes up and cuts the limb. Anyway, I put the tool on a limb without hooking it properly, took my attention away from it, knocked it off the limb and it punctured my knee. I could see bone when I pulled it out. I was really lucky not damage my knee cap but I think I fucked the tendons cause my knee still isn't quite right.
Almost broke my back a couple years ago. I was on a handball practice, I jumped (wrong) and a guy pushed me and I fell really bad on my back. I couldn't breathe for about a minute and they had to rush me to the ambulance. Every now and then my back hurt because some bones moved...
Broke both bones in my wrist in three places rollerblading downhill when I was visiting my mom's house when I was 13.
When I was eight, playing soccer, I tried to take a shot, missed and my big toe scraped the concrete ground. Split it in half with blood gushing out like a fucking tap. It had to be sewn together.
I pulled a hernia lifting a washing machine at my old job. Shit had to fit in the truck... Also, I broke a top incisor tooth when I was like 13. I also almost cut off my knuckle on my left pointer finger a few years ago. Was making stuffing for Thanksgiving dinner. I needed 7 stitches to replace the flap of skin hanging off. Still can't feel where the injury occured. Those are my top 3...
There's a sunroof in my parents bedroom and we use a pole with a hook to grab it and pull it down. I nearly stabbed myself in the face with it
My worst injury had to be when I broke both legs. That hurt like all hell. EDIT: Oh and once I fell over and landed knee first on a dog bone, and caused bruising.
When I was a wee lad, there was a legend at my elementary school. The Gods had decreed that no man, woman, or child had ever jumped so far off the swingset that they completely jumped over the wood chip area of the playground. One fateful day, I decided I would be the one person to achieve that unattainable feat. Recess after recess, I would attempt to do the impossible. At first only my friends would watch me attempt it, and only with a minor curiosity. But as the days passed, more and more of the grades started watching. I'd inch closer and closer. The crowds would grow. Then one day, it happened. It was a Wednesday. The sun was partially hidden by clouds, and the weather was a pleasant 80 degrees fahrenheit. Lunch consisted of steak fingers and french fries. And a record was shattered that day. As I sailed into the air, time ticking ever so slowly, I realized why nobody had ever jumped past the wood chip area of the playground. Because right after the wood chips is the concrete blacktop. I landed arm first. While my broken arm regaled me to forever failing my handwriting tests for the rest of the year, I became legend at that school and the district in general. Children still stop by that spot on the swingset and tell the tale of the child who broke the wood chip barrier, even today. A day hasn't passed where a gummy bear or fruit roll-up has been placed at the base of that swing, as a ritualistic offering to the one who met the blacktop.
