Does anyone have any crazy injury stories? They can be sad, gross, or just downright funny.

I've got a few:

January 2003 - I was sledding down a hill at incredible speeds. Speeds you wouldn't imagine would be experienced on a sled. I think it had to do with the unusually slick material it was made out of. Anyhow, there was a dense group of trees at the bottom of the steep hill, and I don't know why, but I didn't jump off. I did, however, manuver myself so I wasn't heading for the trees headfirst. Instead, I hit one of the trees with my side. I ended up lascerating my liver! True story.

Feburary 2004 - I was once again sledding. A little girl was swinging around a snowboard for a reason I'm still unsure of. As I sledded down, the snowboard collided with my chin, and left a huge gash. It stung! The scar that remains isn't incredibly noticable, but every once and a while someone will ask about it.

Funny how all my injuries involve snow.

Some time back in 2000 I fell off my bike and slid on the road, scratching up the whole right side of my face. My face didn't look very normal until a month and a half later.

I was jumping on a trampoline and I attempted a front flip. Everything was going fine until I stuck my arm out (like an idiot) to break my fall, because I felt like I was about to land on my head (which I wasn't). I have a huge scar where the bone popped out.

Do not talk to me about sledding related injuries please. Just...don't...

My worst injury ever was when I fell out of a hammock and broke my collarbone. I was about 6 or 7 at the time.

...Yeah, I try to avoid possible injury as much as I can.

Did the bone really pop out? That's sick! Trampolines are very dangerous foes. I haven't injured myself on one yet, but I'm sure that if I owned one that I would.

I glanced at this topic, thought it was about the Three Days Grace song, and shivered. But luckily it's not!

Anyways, I'm very fortunate. I've never broken any bone in my body, but I am a bit of a bonehead. Gotta protect my brans somehow.

I once slammed my head into the door of a closet in my house. At first I thought I wasn't hurt, until I noticed a whole lot of blood trickling down my face and looked in the mirror, which revealed I had basically carved a big chunk out of the skin on the bridge of my nose. There's still a scar there today, although it's barely noticeable.

Once when I was like 6 or 7 or 8, somewhere around there, I jumped up, and upon landing twisted my ankle, fell, and bashed my forehead into a sharp edge of a table right below me. I had to go to the hospital and get stitches, and I have a pretty noticeable scar above my right eyebrow.

OK, fine. Never mind. But still, that's just lame to say you've never been injured in your life because you must have been even a little, right?

WarpRattler · « **Reply #16 on:** November 08, 2007, 10:33:10 AM »

Coming into a thread about injuries and saying you haven't had any serves no purpose beyond +postcount. Saying you haven't had any because you have enough common sense to avoid them is insulting everyone unfortunate enough to be in circumstances where it's unavoidable.

I broke my collar bone when I was six. When I was 11, I broke my thumb while catching a football in PE. When I was 13, I broke one of my toes.

Boo Dudley · « **Reply #17 on:** November 08, 2007, 11:21:21 AM »

I'm not a post count raiser. but, I see your point. Yes, I generally avoid such situations, but I have had some serious falls (some actually sled related), and came out nothing more than bruised and disoriented.

I'm just lucky I guess.

Actually, I don't find Wiggles to be funny, either. Or Glorb (apologies for bringing him up randomly), for that matter. I just feel that their brand of humor is something that just doesn't make me laugh. Just like how Napoleon Dynamite doesn't make me laugh.

I broke my collar bone while climbing on tires when I was 10. It was a monster truck tire in the sand, and the tread slammed into my collarbone. I laid on the ground for 30 minutes, and this one kid and his mom just walked by.

I was about eight or nine years old, and I was riding my bike. I was on the side of a residential road, and I happened to be heading straight for a mailbox. For some strange reason, I knew that the mailbox was there, but I did not turn to get out of the way. I was thinking to myself, "Turn now so you don't hit that mailbox!" but my arms, I guess, didn't want to listen to my brain. I hit the mailbox going pretty fast, and ended up bruising my face good, as well as getting a number of cuts from falling off the bike.

Glorb · « **Reply #28 on:** November 10, 2007, 09:19:09 AM »

This isn't a physical injury, but it's in the same ballpark, and it happened just last night. My mom had just bought a box of Honey-Combs cereal. Now, I had already known from an experience in my youth that Corn Puffs make me violently ill. My sister informed me that Honey-Combs are pretty much the same stuff, but I proceeded to consume the breakfast goods regardless, since I was eager to eat some Honey-Combs for some reason. The result? Literally a minute later, there was a horrific rumbling sensation in my bowels, and I was forced to spend most of the rest of the evening in the bathroom (I'll leave it at that).

Ambulance Y · « **Reply #29 on:** November 10, 2007, 12:52:00 PM »

That's revolting! And not off topic, because I'm sure your Honey Comb experience was painful, without technically being an injury. I'm pretty sure I got some bad food poisoning from Taco Bell once. Then again, it is Taco Bell, the anus of fast food franchises.

Vidgmchtr · « **Reply #30 on:** November 10, 2007, 12:57:43 PM »

*raises eyebrow at the Taco Bell statement*

I don't really like Honey-Comb. Kix are pretty awesome, though. Life is one of my favorites, though. No cereals have had the effect of making me live in my bathroom for the next few hours, though.

N64 Chick · « **Reply #31 on:** November 10, 2007, 01:04:02 PM »

Oh goodness. I love Life cereal. I can't remember the last time I even had it. I keep getting stuck with Honey Comb and Fruit Loops, both of which are pretty much flavorless to me at this point.

And now that I think about it, I got hit by a car once because some stupid excuse for a driver ran a red light. I didn't break anything though. The doc said that my heavy back pack saved me.

Vidgmchtr · « **Reply #32 on:** November 10, 2007, 01:23:17 PM »

I hope the driver paid you afterwards.

Another story I have is one that happened to me not long after the bike story. One night I was doing my homework (back when I actually had homework), thinking about how awesome the trip to the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey was going to be. My sister was jealous to the point where she was crying about the fact that dad was going with me. I playfully taunted her, which wasn't that great of an idea. She started beating me, though I used one of my textbooks as a shield and I didn't receive any damage. Then she went into the den where my father was and started yelling at him, telling him he couldn't go on the trip with me, but in vain. I decided to taunt her again with a Nelson Muntz laugh.

She took a plastic garbage can and hit me in the head with it. Got a gash on my forehead that luckily didn't require stitches. I did need to go to the hospital, though. Only time I've had to go for an injury.

Nope. They didn't even try to help me either. They stopped to ask if I was okay, but when it was obvious that I wasn't, they took right off. I think someone else might've seen what happened an called an ambulance.

And speaking of ambulances, the username of whoever started this thread makes me laugh for some odd reason.

Taco Bell is usually okay, but I find their restaurants generally dirtier than most, and every once and a while they release a new burrito that's absolutely disgusting. I had this new cheesy beefy melt, and part of it was cold! So that's why I made that statement earlier.

Anyway, pain...

Just yesterday I stubbed my toe on somebody else's toe! How weird is that?

One time I turned a corner way too fast while skiing. I went around it, thinking I'd be fine, and lo and behold: moguls******. I did a freekin' barrel roll. Both my skis, both my poles, and one of my gloves went flying into the air. I was fine other then my thumb being badly sprained.
That's actually the closest to breaking my bones I've ever been. As far as physical injury's go, I've been pretty lucky.

*****Moguls (Moe-gl-s): Huge bumps in the ground. Usually appearing on ski hills.*****

I've gotten food poisoning from non-fast food tex mex restaurants before. Anyway, Taco Bell is usually good and seriously, they aren't any dirtier than other fast food places. I'm in pain every day so I don't think I need to post anything in this thread.

On September 26, 2006 I, for some crazy reason tried to pick up my dad (yes I said pick up), when I picked him up We fell back and I hit my head on thecorner of a wall. Then I was rushed to the Emergency Room, when I got there I told the doctors the story and there literly started laughing for about a minute and a half. And then the doctors told me that I was fine, and they told me to leave... True Story

I got a cranial hemerage when snowboarding. Pretty minor really but I couldn't walk straight for about a half hour after it. As the day progressed I was seemingly unable to keep my food down. I don't want to make it sound like it didn't hurt, because it hurt a lot, and yes I cried like a baby.

I don't think I'm much of a sue person. To sue doesn't sound too appealing to me, but then again I've never been in the position of being injured due to a restaurant's neglect.

I did forget to mention a couple of my other painful experiences. A couple years ago, I got my teeth pulled, and the dentists used little to no novocaine. I could feel practically everything. It was probably the worst pain in my entire life. On a lighter note, when I was about 10, my family went out to play baseball. My dad hit a line drive right at my nose. I had a rather sizable honker and two black eyes for over a week. They called me a panda with a nose tumor.

Pt_Peach · « **Reply #52 on:** November 20, 2007, 01:03:32 AM »

Well, I'm in pain a lot but here are a few stories.

When I was seven, I was in gymnastics. We were starting to do flips on the balance beam. An enthusiastic (and very energetic) young girl, I was eager to try the flip. I raised my knee to high and I bruised and almost broke my nose and then I fell off, my leg under me, and fractured that. My mom was so scared that she won't (and still won't but I wish she'd get over it!) let us attend gymnastics.

The same year, after the accident in gymnastics, I attempted to clean my ear with a q-tip. I stuck it too deep and I busted my eardrum. Luckily, I recovered. My ears are very sensitive and I have a permanent ear problem: I get horrible ear aches often and very randomly and I'm on ear medicine that helps soothe the earaches for the rest of my life. I have to get the prescription refilled, as a matter of fact.

Yesterday, I was talking on the phone and I was trying to put my seatbelt on while talking on the phone. I had my thumb where the door closes (for whatever reason). I forgot my thumb was there and I closed the door with one hand. The next instance, I'm screaming and the phone has dropped from my ear into my lap. My thumb was bruised black. The blackness faded and my thumb swelled. It still hurts.

I've never broken anything but I've slammed my hand plenty of times.

Well, about a couple years ago, I was riding my bike home from school, and my right peddle bumped into a parked car, then I fell down and started sliding on the street. I scraped my hand and my knee, and tore my jacket a bit (it was a bit chilly), and I got up and went to the sidewalk. I was ok though.
Oh, and there was one time I was playing hockey, and someone took a slapshot, and I went to block it, and hit my wrist and I got a nive big bruise.

I rode my bike to visit the high school (this was before I got my license), and when riding home, I decided to take a trip to the Blockbuster and rent Warioware: Smooth Moves. After I left, I got on my bike, and shortly fell off the curb, and off the bike. One of the handles dug into my chest, leaving a bruise just above my left nipple, as well as a few scratches on my legs and arms.

Of course, the game disc was alright, right? Thankfully, yes, as were all the other hard things in my pockets, iPod, glasses case, etc.
