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.

I dont think that 1 post is enough to cover my injury list. I have had so many that it is remarkable that I am still alive and kicking.

I like to divide my injury list into several categories.

1) The early years:

I was born a breach baby so doctors had one heck of a time pulling me out dislocating both hips so I spent my first year of life in a lower torso brace.
By age 6 I already broke my collar bone, has had my lower lip stitched up twice, has had 3 concussions and about 20 some stitches to my head.
At age 6-ish I climbed a huge tree trying to get my rope down and fell from 2nd floor height hitting a branch on my way down and landing on a steel pipe breaking my back. Needles to say I woke up in a hospital with a full upper torso cast and spent next year wearing it. After I healed my folks enrolled me in sambo which is like judo and I had a few dislocated joints to deal with. I also had a hairline fracture of my whatever its called bone on my leg below the knee... long story.

2) The teen years:

I got shot at returning from a party. At first it was salt shot back at us. When drunken guard ran out of those he started shooting live shots injuring my foot. In the next few years I had a few cracked ribs when training for the free style mountain ski team. I have also had a few dislocations, major head concussion, fell from 2 more trees being stupid. Ended up having many splinters, bruises and skin cuts as I tumbled down. I also had additional 30 some stitches to my head from various injuries. I also almost drowned. Also broke my nose. Had someone attack me with a knife so have a (now a feint) scar.

3) The early adult years

2 car accidents that left me with a pinched nerve in the neck. I also was involved in a fight in college that shattered my knee cap, broke 2 fists. I also broke my other knee skiing so had 2 surgeries for that and have a plate and some screws there. Last injury was to my hand mountain biking.

List goes on and on and on but I am very much alive and kicking.
