Poll: Broken Bones

[Griphphin]

I broke both of the bones in my right forearm playing football. I didn't notice at first until I tried to get up and my forearm bent way too far (incidentally, an easy way to tell if your forearm is bent too far is if it's bent at all ). Now I've got a rather unsightly scar on both sides from when they cut in to reset the bones. If people ask, I like to have some fun with it, saying that I got it wrestling a polar bear or something of the sort; makes for a fun icebreaker.

Thumb. Don't ask. Is muchly humiliating. =[

Got in a bike accident when I was ~13. Ended up cracking my jaw and tearing up the entire left side of my face.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

never broken anything but jo3bot just reminded me of the best ice slide i have ever had it involved a frozen log and a 10 second best time of my life.

 

[Biosophilogical]

All I can lay claim to is a sprain. Zero breaks and I intend to keep it that way.

All I've done is pull a nerve or something (I was 5 or something, and everyone thought I'd broken my neck).

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Broke my arm when I was 9 falling off my bike.
Totally snapped the bone, it wouldn't have been as bad if the doctors hadn't left a wire in my arm pushing on the nerve.

That hurt ><

First of all: Good luck getting that healed properly. Hope it doesn't hurt too much. Either way, get well soon.

Fortunately, the break is just a tiny chip on the top of my toe. Hurts like hell if I knock it or put any weight on it, but everything's still in place so unless I re-injure it, it should heal properly.

I broke my arm when I was like 6 or something, my brother lifted up the end of the slide and I fell off and landed with my arm behind my back. I was laughing though, it didn't hurt for some reason and I was just lol'ing my face off whilst my brother ran away. I've almost broke my nose a lot of times, the thing is made out of fucking steel. I've smashed my face on ice when skiing, been hit directly in the nose, had fuck knows how many basketballs hit me in the face, and just last week I got headbutted in like the perfect spot for it to break, and it just bled for ages and it's fine now. I'm not trying to break my nose, I'm just surprised it's stayed unbroken for so long.

Don't know if i can call it a broken bone, I got kneed down (A knee to the head) from a guy who tought it would be fun to randomly knee down a guy, and broke the floor in my eye socket, also i got a concussion.

Whew. That's good, then. Well, aside from the horrible pain bit. All the same, take care, and try not to strain yourself or anything. Take it easy while you heal.

Several. I've broken my nose, my foot, and my arm. My nose I broke smashing into a mantlepiece when I was 2. My foot I broke falling down a small flight of stairs when I was 5. And my arm I broke by tripping on my shoelace (damn thing wouldn't stay tied up) while playing on some playground equipment when I was 9.

I've got old country genes. Short, dense, durable bones. I've noticed taller, lankier kids seem to break their bones when the wind blows too hard.

When I was 16, I was struck on my bicycle by a Ford Explorer that ran a red light. I left large depressions in the hood where I placed my hands as I was struck. Got hit in the ribs, pelvis and right femur pretty good too. Thrown about 30 feet before my face smacked into the concrete, which broke my two front teeth in half.

Hurt like hell, but not a single "bone" broken; if only I'd brushed better...

 

[Brandon237]

Cracked my wrist. That was not fun, not by a long shot.

 

[FinalGamer]

Weird...I don't think I've ever broken a bone in my body. I've more been a victim of terrible and rare diseases, but on the upside my immune system has turned badass.

 

[Ophiuchus]

I broke both my little toes - first one playing cricket in bare feet because I'm an idiot, second one attempting (and failing) to jump over a stool in bare feet because I'm an idiot. I also broke my hand - the bone along the side, attached to the little finger - by punching a wardrobe. Because I'm an idiot. That never really healed properly, leaving my little finger weak and sticking out slightly. If nothing else, it's a good excuse for being bad at Guitar Hero.

You could look at it as an opportunity. Sure, you could forever be bad at Guitar Hero.

Or you could use this as an opportunity to study biology and robotics, reaching heights of science that no one dreamed to be possible, and giving yourself a mechanical arm. That shoots sharks. Made of razor blades that are on fire. The fire is also on fire.

Learn some Science and proceed to Show Them All, is what I'm getting at.

 

[MacCleric]

broke my clavical falling off my bike when i was 11 or 12. Not fun at all

 

[JLML]

A toe and Both bones in my arm. That I know of that is. Both of them were pretty funny actually, since I injured myself in a pretty (epically) failed way.

 

[Mr Pantomime]

My sister pushed me out of the shopping trolley. Broke my arm.

 

[Marter]

I think that I once broke my nose. Never got it checked though.

Other than that, never, and I've played sports since I was 3.
