Lets hear some of your injuries you've had in your lifetime.
I'll start off with mine.

Yesturday I fractured and displaced my scaphoid bone in my wrist and spent 12 hours in the hospital, was put under to have it re-aligned, and need surgery to put pins in my wrist to temporarily hold it in place.

I fell down a set of stairs while snowboarding.
We were sliding the rail alog the stairs.

It was stupid. Me and my crew are filming a video. I got the trick I waanted, but i was not satisfied with how it looked so i wanted to do it again.
I sketched out on the run-in and should have stopped but went for it anyways.
Ended up landing backwards with my board parallel to the stairs, and i guess i put my hands out and thats when it happened.

seeing as I'm fairly new I figure here's as good a place to contribute...

(long story, sry)
I had my foot broken in at least 6 places while working as a lifeguard at a Six Flags water park in ATL one sumer.
The particular slide I was working required the guard to stand in front of the 4 person float and hold it while everyone got on... well seeing as it was over 100 degrees that day and I was in the middle of a 12 hour shift I was a little tired of bending down to hold it, so I just stood in front of the float and held it with my legs (if that makes sense)
Bad choice. dude gets his whole family on, and decided hes gonna just "jump" on. well when he jumped on he landed directly on my foot.
Broke 3 toes and 2 bones in my foot in 1-2 places each. Everyone heard the cracking, I just smiled, pulled my foot out from under him, and sent them down the slide.... then proceeded to work standing on one foot for the next 6 hours.
Being the genius I was at the time, I didn't think I could afford to take the time off from work so I didn't go to a doctor. Foot swelled up to about 2 times the normal size, of course black and purple, and I went to work the next week on it....
Eventually they made me go see the paramedics, who said it was definitely broken in multiple places, but because there was so much swelling and fluid build up they didn't know how bad it was... I went back to work and had to sit at the kiddie pool the rest of the summer. that sucked worse than the foot breaking in the first place. Rebroke it a few months later.. still have a huge knot on my foot where it didn't heal quite right


Almost drown that sumer too when I was told to walk down a family sized enclosed slide because a raft was stuck about 30 feet in.... that was fun... try walking down a water slide with enough water moving though it to move a 200 pound raft.. you cant do it. long story short, got the raft almost moving, knee got caught between the slide wall and the raft and twisted directions i didn't know knees could twist and ended up somehow half under the raft.... knee occasionally bothers me still and i refuse to work as a lifeguard for six flags again. Barely over minimum wage is not worth the injuries sustained by idiots.


Got a god awful concussion at a Green Day concert 2 years ago when (and we're not sure EXACTLY what happened) either a guy was dropped on me, or kicked me in the back of the head... only thing that saved me from getting hurt worse was that the guy in front of me was much taller and took most of the hit. Being stupidly stubborn at times, I refused to go to the hospital even tho I passed out multiple times, and spent the next 3 days feeling like I was stuck in the hangover from hell


There are MANY more, but I think that'll do
