[BlueMonday]

I broke my nose jumping onto a couch in my parents house. I overshot and my face came right down on the armrest.

I fell off of one of those GT Snow Racers (it's a tobogan). I fell off and got my leg caught between the seat and the ski.. then rolled over... my leg went up in the air and it twisted my ankle all to crap.

I had a huge gash on my leg and my ankle and foot turned black, blue and yellow.

Now all of this isn't THAT bad.. it only sounds stupid when you realize that I was 21 at the time.

I went to see my doctor (to make sure noting was broken) and was quite embarrased to have to tell him that I fell off of a kids toy. <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/wink.gif" border=0>

I was riding my bike and there was an annoying clicking noise coming from the front wheel area. So as im riding(Very fast) I kicked the front wheel in an attempt to stop the clicking. My foot got jammed and I was thrown straight over the handel bars into the back of a car. I broke my ankle and needed 12 stitches in my forehead.

I had some of my abdomen caught in the chain of my book a while back (it wasn't a bloody mess but it hurt like hell.) When I was two I was running around the house and ran smack dab into the corner of a wall spliting my head open. The next year I made a repeat, but this time it was a towel-rack. I've split my chin open twice as a baby...

You know, in those bight appartments buildings there is generally a big window just next to the entrance door, and exactly the same size. One time (I was 7), we came out from my aunt, who lived in one at the epoch. I was running down the stair and had my arms were stretched out, but I stupidly take the WRONG "door": the window... I came through in an explosion of broken glass and fall flat in my face on the ground... I finish the adventure at the hospital to get some stiches on the gash that was on my left shoulder...

A good friend of mine was bitten in the face by a Collie. You can still make out the scars along his chin and mouth. I'm sure that's one memory he'd like to forget. Oh, BTW, I was bitten in the wrist by a dog as a child, that one hurt immensely.

I got bit in the ass by a dog once...

 

[BorderPatrol]

I ran through a glass door because I didn't see it when I was a kid.

 

[Circee]

Yeah, you can say it that way... But it's so funnier when more detailed!

Just to make your day Ninny Man Jr this happen to me a few years ago whilst playing cricket - for those that don't understand the game all you need to know is that a bowler hurls a hard leather ball at a batsman who wears amongst other things a plastic or metal 'protector' for the groin area.

Anyway, this particular day as I was getting ready to face the first ball from the bowler I had this nagging thought in the back of my mind that there was something I'd forgotten - something important. As the bowler was running in (this guy was very quick) it suddenly occurred to me that I'd forgotten my protector - to late. As I opened my mouth to say, stop! The bowler bowls the ball, which like a guided missle homes in on my 'cheese and crackers' (knackers, balls, testicles - you get the idea). The line "Great balls of Fire" probably sums up the result - imagine pain, incredible searing pain that screams along every nerve in the body.

After I'd stopped writhing around on the ground in agony the bowler came up to me, gave me a consoling pat on the back and said, "it could have been worse mate" and with a big grin on his face continued, "it could have been me"!!! Needless to say, I've never forgotten to wear my protector again.

It was a chance for him you were unable to do about everything...

While camping with friends, I was getting some firewood with an impressionable younger member of the group, and he was very impressed when I rather casually threw a hatchet and buried it into a tree trunk, to free up my hands. He 'ooohed' appreciatively, and my judgement got booted right out my ear by my ego, as there was no longer room for both. We hefted our load of wood, and on the way past the tree, I casually yanked the hatchet out. The walk back was uneventful. We dropped our load of firewood off, and I 'casually' tossed the hatchet into the air, flipping it so it would turn one and a half times, to catch the handle in my other hand.
Naturally, Murphy, displeased by my earlier success, gave it enough of a nudge to do two full turns, and I neatly caught the blade, slicing into the palm of my hand just below my right pinky, along the line in my palm. I still have the scar.
Best part is, we were camping on an island, so all I could do was clean and dress the wound(I could see my ligaments through the hole), bandage my hand into a closed fist to hold it shut, and wait until first light to cross the water to shore. It being a holiday weekend, I ended up having to wait two days for treatment, as I'm way too cheap to go to an emergency room for something that stupid. I got in to see my doctor, and he said that not only was there nothing he could do, it having already begun to heal, it looked like it would be fine. To this day, I have a small scar that extends what I am told is my love line...

Here goes, when i was hmmm 8yrs old i believe, i was playing 'war' with my friends with fake guns i had one of those fake rifle's with the metal reloader and well someone said INCOMING! and we all dove well lucky me i dove strait on the to metal of the gun cutting me straight across my left cheek(face). Required some 30 butterfly stitches
same year i was riding my bike and was in the bad part of town with my friend, and we threw a glass bottle on the road and broke it and some black guys got in their car and chased us all around the neighborhood and we finally lost them and when i looked back while i was still riding fast to see if they were behind us i ran into a parked car and flew over the roof of it landed on the hood and rolled off, that broke 2 ribs and alot of bruises.
9years old----I rode my bike into a mail car and head butted the side of the mail car
10years old---my friend just moved into this nice neighborhood and they were building near houses in the neighborhood and only had a road there where they were adding on to the neighborhood, so we took his Go-Cart out there and were showboating, we had been cutting Uies all day well i got in it and took off got up real fast and spun the steering wheel around and i focknig flipped it, and according to my friend me and the Go-cart flew about 15feet into the air with me still inside i finally fell out and the go cart landed ontop of me---no serious injury thank god.
12years old----me and my friend were riding our bikes around during election time and were kicking down the election signs and well we were going to kicked down these big signs and i saw this one big sign and i rode by and kicked it down but i didn't see the sign just to the back and to the side of it and i ran into it flipping my bike and myself.
Same year----I was out at the lake with my family and i was tubing with my uncle and friends and i decided to show off since i'm the greatest tuber alive, i decided too sit on the tube instead of lay on it.(my mistake)
My uncle decided to really screw me over so he started the boat up got up to 40mph then decided to jump it up to 60mph and did it soquickly i jerked back and got my feet caught in the handle of the tube so i was skimming the water and then he swung the boat around sending me flying around the side and skipping across the lake at i'd say 60-70mph, sprained my back and hurt my neck

i still love tubing.
