My right big toe has been broken so many times, I don't know it maintained structural integrity throughout my years.

Oh yeah, I've managed to do the same a few times and currently seem to have a slightly misaligned joint: for someone who likes shoes so much, I don't wear them as much as I should. I also managed to break something in my hand due to clumsiness so that I now have a permanent bump south of my right little finger.

My right big toe has been broken so many times, I don't know it maintained structural integrity throughout my years.

Speaking of toes, my grandpa almost cut his off, it literally was on just as much as the ghosts head in harry potter, you know the half-beheaded ghost with just some skin keeping his head there. And he got that when he jumped into the sea from a cliff, damn sharp and dangerous rocks there!

[lacy lake]

Just had a near miss with some serious burns to my face.

About 30 minutes ago, i took 2 LI-ION batterys out of my torch, as it was very dim, and put them back in (as if thats gonna help).
I was holding the torch about face level in front of me, as i was slumped down in my chair.In the process of screwing on the end cap/button, one of the batteries decides it wants to be a rocket.

Flames shot out of the torch like you see on a flare, and the battery landed on the other side of my bedroom, behind me. It had to of either went straight up and down, or flew past my head.
Luckily the flames didnt come out in my direction, or i would of had some serious burns i think.

Jumped up from chair anyway, and the battery was sitting burning and smoking on the floor, and there was an extremly bad smell getting up. I grabbed my bowl of cereal from earlier in the morning, which still had some milk and honeyoats in it luckily,and tossed that on the battery
Whatever the gas was had me coughing quite bad, and gave me a bit of a sore stomach, got the window open quick though.


All in all, i was quite lucky. All ive ended up with is a bit of a burnt carpet and a unnatural fear of batteries

Sorta trumps what i was gonna post earlier about a broken ankle though.

[Chad Holloway]

Not much for me, [censored] my knee up a few years ago. It hurt to move for a few days, and felt weaker than my other knee for months. But it seems fine now.
Got a scar on my finger after joke punching someone, only to hit some jagged metal.
My leg has a dent in the muscle, after it got infected before. Kinda annoys me I can feel it, and it hasnt healed.
Only other thing I remember, is having a huge drain cover or something, dropped on my finger. It didnt hurt much, the bone didnt break, but the skin split and I have a scar, lucky its not worse, becuase its right on the joint.

[ImmaTakeYour]

I fouled up my left shoulder in a fight and my right ankle in a football match.

Ow... The worse I've done was slamming my foot through a wall. That was the first time I broke it, then it became a series.

And it was better that it was a wall and not a person, cause I'd probably break their leg off with the force I used to shove my foot through the wall. Lesson learned, when I'm pissed, I cannot be in a room.

[Kate Norris]

Worst that happened to me was hitting my tail bone real good when falling down. Couldn't sit for two weeks

[louise hamilton]

My heart... twice

[victoria johnstone]

Pins in my hand from a boxer's fracture.

[Caroline flitcroft]

when i was a child i was fat, played some game with my cousins and the end result was me falling down on my wrist just the right way to fracture it...yes i realize how lame that sounds, but i'm fairly resilient and hardly ever get seriously hurt

[laila hassan]

Two broken bones in my life. My left forefinger was broken at baseball practice as a child, and my left pinky was crushed in a car door as a small child.

I've had nemerous other injuruies that required stitches, the worst of which required twenty stitches to repair a severe laceration of the left arm (accidental). One inch closer and I probably wouldn't still be alive today.

[D IV]

Had my skull cracked twice when i was a kid, nail through my foot twice, slipped and dropped the lid of a metal dumpster on my finger, had an accident broke my shoulder which is still basically broken after 20 or so years, same accident hole through my knee to the joint, my leg was bent in the middle from my hip to my knee with the femur bone penetrating, punctured lung as well. Had my front teeth smashed by a rock at school, and was poisoned when i was young.

[x a million...]

A thick nail going through my hand. Still got the scar. Almost broke the.. you know, the bony part that moves the finger - of my left ring finger. Could've been pretty nasty.

[Javier Borjas]

Fell a meter onto a sharp metal spike. Almost impaled my self.

Slammed my thumb in a car door and vomited because it hurt so much.

Crashed my motorbike into a tree, smashed my femur into the handlebars.

Flipped my ATV countless times.

Scars on my hand from kangaroos.

[Ashley Hill]

No broken bones or serious injury.
Oversized appendectomy scar is all I have (turns out the operation wasn't even necessary, too, heh).

I once tried to light an old gas oven when the turn-dial broke, and there was this big whoooosh. I lost my eyelashes but was otherwise unharmed.
When I was very little (5 or 6ish maybe) my older brother put me on the back of his bicycle in a bike-seat to take me for a ride. My feet dangled near the wheels and I guess I was moving them around, as antsy kids do, when he took off. My ankle got caught in the bike wheel spokes and I screamed like a banshee. Bled a lot, scar on the ankle that remained for 20 years, but no big harm done. Scared my brother something awful tho. Heh.

Most slight scars I get these days are from playing with my cats.

Edit: Oh yeah, when I was 13, wen backpacking and lost all the toenails off both feet. Bad boot incident. lol

[I’m my own]

In 2004, I broke 3 fingers on my right hand falling off a piece of playground equipment.

I broke my left wrist in 2006 in a bike race. Since we were immature little 5th graders my friend and I thought it would be cool to see who could get to the bottom of the hill first. I won, but I didn't stop in time to avoid hitting the curb and taking a pretty serious spill

2007 I was stabbed completely through my left thumb in a knife-sharpening incident at summer camp.

In 2008, I broke my right ankle while backpacking. It was at Mt. Mitchell in NC. It was the second day of the trip and we were 9 miles into the woods, but thankfully one of the leaders had a cell phone with service and the park ranger was able to come with a truck and get me. I still had to be helped to hobble half a mile to the service road. It was quite an experience, but thankfully everything came together enough for me to able to get out of there.

2009, my freshman year of high school, I tore a muscle in my back while working at a Habitat for Humanity construction site, hurt like a mofo for almost 3 months.

Summer 2010 I was playing airsoft and took off my goggles for a brief second, honestly thinking that the game was over. A stray pellet hit me in the left eye, causing a cut. I had to wear these sunglasses the doctor gave almost everywhere for 2 weeks while it healed.

Another biking incident. In the fall of 2010 I fell off when I hit a pothole while on the New River bike trail. I cracked a few ribs and got a huge gash on my left wrist, which I found out later damaged some of the little bones in there. The worst part of that is it left a very visible scar for almost a year, which can still be faintly seen today, and I looked like a cutter.

Spring of 2011 I was working stage crew for the spring musical, a set piece was rolled over my left foot, breaking 4 toes.

This past summer I broke my ankle, the same one, falling back on this really steep muddy hill at summer camp

My worst injury however, even though there was no broken bones, is when I gashed my head open in Kindergarten on the playground. I had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance and they had to put me out to give me stitches because I wouldn't stop screaming. If my hair were shorter, the scar would be clearly visible right below my hairline, going horizontally.

I'm pretty lucky because none of this has ever caused any permanent damage. The airsoft incident might have, but I already wear glasses, so it's whatever.

[Elizabeth Davis]

As for broken bones, I only ever once fractured a metatarsal just above my little toe. I got up from a chair quickly, put the weight on my foot wrong, went over and cracked the bone.

All my other injuries have been things like strains or stress injuries, didn't even bother with the doctors for most of them. Currently sporting a strained hamstring since last May and recovering from a spine strain and I also had knee pains magically appear a couple of weeks ago that haven't gone away.

I think my most bizarre injury was when I hurt my wrist, I have no idea what happened but I woke up one morning with pains, they didn't go away for days, I saw the doctor and I had it strapped up for a little while. I still don't know what happened, I wondered if I lay on it in my sleep or punched the wall or something.

[Flash]

Snapped my finger in half playing basketball eons ago. They never set it correctly so when I bend it, it's all messed up. Can't play guitar because of it and took me a couple of years to relearn how to play piano with my finger not going where it should, but you wouldn't notice it unless I pointed it out so I'm not getting it rebroke.

Stupidest injury: My first day of ever working I went to change the garbage and sliced by finger to the bone on a dirty yucky piece of jagged metal on the door to the garbage can. I'm still quite surprised by how much your fingers can bleed... Had to got to the ER and have stitches put in.

Then of course the various broken toes and the torn up knees and ankles.

[Mel E]

numerous concussions, cracked scull due to an unfortunate accident with a faulty axe (don't ask.. luckily there was a veterinarian in the village nearby). Broken fingers, broken hand, broken wrist, broken upper arm, broken shoulder-cup and clavicle (motorcycle or brawling incidents), knife slash along the lower arm and a shallow stab wound in my right side (mugging -of me! that went postal, thankfully my leather jacket caught the brunt of that one), shrapnel through the knee, cracked lumbar vertebrae #L4 and shrapnel puncture resulting in a svcking chest wound that took my off the clocks for three and a half minutes.

I guess I'm testament that some things are too stubborn to die.

[Life long Observer]

Pulled a muscle in my leg. I was on the couch all night.

I don't play sports, and am generally sensible enough not to do anything that would seriously injure me. Never broken a bone.

[Alada Vaginah]

Let's see...

We'll premise these first few by saying that I was born at 23 weeks (normal pregnancy is 39-40 weeks, I believe) and thus was very, very premature. No skin, badly developed lungs, etc.

So, lots of tubes and blood transfusions - but no band-aids. Except that one time. I have a scar on my left wrist where the skin grew around the band-aid and, well, the band-aid had to come off, skin and all. I also managed to "die" maybe once or twice via asphyxiation during the 5 month period at the hospital when they were trying to develop my lungs.

Skip ahead a few years, and when I was 12 or 13 I was playing lazer-tag with friends, and, being a young kid, was running around. I managed to miscalculate and smashed my head into a metal pole (!) and chipped my tooth. I think it took 9-12 stitches to close the wound up, and I still have a nice scar on my forehead.

When I was 18 I worked as a counselor-in-training at a computer programming camp (yeah, I'm a geek) and I was chatting with one of the kids at his dorm room. I was on the outside in the hallway, and we were horsing around and such, and he slammed the door in my face. Well, he tried, because my right ring-finger had somehow gotten between the door hinges. Thankfully I still have my finger, though there's a nice scar right above the joint. 6 stitches, I think.

And that's about it, really. No broken bones, amazingly.

[Jack]

Well I broke my ankle after I was skating at a place called "Skateplex" A really obese guy fell on my arm and I felt extremely bad pain.

That reminds me, when i was 6 or so i tried to look out of the window by reaching to it from a nearby bed, i of course lost my grip and hit my head on a radiator, that of course had a sharp edge. I don't remember much after that... But i hear it took 5 stitches and a room full of people to hold me down to apply them

[James Potter]

Being a football player through my whole life I've had several broken fingers, broken legs and fractures. Now my legs are messed up and makes strange noises everytime I move them. I still play regularly so I don't think they've that hurt, I feel fine.

I also fell down the stairs and hit my head when I was 2 years old, and have a scar on my forehead. I also broke my tooth when I was a stupid kid trying to skate down the streets on my stomach, only to faceplant.
