What was your* worst injury?

*or friend's

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

What was your* worst injury?

Post by DanP740 »

I've never broken anything, but my friend lost 3 teeth playing baseball and his older brother recently lost a couple and chipped a couple playing with PVC swords.

Kids these days don't know how to slow down! Always rushing and getting injured it seems. Mind you, I had some close calls during my stint as a crossing guard. And then there was that time when I fell off the scaffolding... #-o

Oh! Do tell about this happening! :D

I haven't had any bad injuries. But a friend of my friend jumped through a window at school and he got really cut up. :p It was gross.

I ran behind a metal swing shaped like a horse, and had to get stitches when my chin got sliced open. I was 3...

I ended up going back to that park later and looking for my chin because I thought part of it had fallen off... :boohoo:


No broken bones, however.

On New Years Eve (last year) I was helping my dad stack firewood and I dropped a 30+ (most likely) log on my right ring finger. It hurt a little bit. :anxious: Okay, actually, it hurt a lot and I had to go to the emergency room that afternoon and get stitches. And I missed the New Year Party too. :( Then that night the pain medicine made me sick and I welcomed the New Year (literally) by throwing up. It was pretty bad for a few weeks. Everyone thought my fingernail was going to fall off, but now it's almost good as new and you can barely tell that anything happened to it. \:D/

Well, a couple of months ago I broke my wrist while riding my rollerblades. And before that I broke off half of my front tooth while my brothers and I were hitting a hockey puck around in our garage. And before that I split my eyebrow open after falling into a wall \:D/ . Thankfully though, I didn't have to get stitches, because my Dad knows how to take care of things like that.

My teacher blew the wistle once when I was in... 1st grade, or possibly 2nd/3rd transition, and I was on the top of the jungle gym. An accomplishment back then. I was getting down when my hand slipped. I fell to the ground, my right arm behind my back. I had broken it. It hurt, and at first, they couldn't get a hold of my mom on the phone. But, thankfully, she had yet to go to work, and had been in the shower the first time my teacher, Ms. Stewaurt, had called my house. My sister had freaked, because she had been a sevy, or an eighth grader, when she heard I had probably broken my arm. She didn't think it could happen. It was a scary thing for all of my family, school mates, and friends.

Other things have happened, but that was probably the worst.

Didn't you also shoot a nail into your foot? (isn't Jonathan the other accident guy?)

When it was snowing in the mountains last winter, I fell down a rather large hill and smashed my face against a snow-covered log. It was really interesting, though, since according to my siblings and Dad, it looked a lot like what you see in movies (where the feet and legs go up and over the head and they're tumbling and whatnot).

It was a good thing that I was wearing my glasses and that I didn't smash my face a few more inches to the left. I'd be wearing an eye patch now and have half of my brain missing if I had smashed against that huge branch next to me. o_X

All that happened is that I smashed my nose (maybe it got sprained, I can't remember) and cut up a good portion of my face. I looked like I got in a knife fight and brass knuckle fight at the same time, actually. I was fortunate, though, considering the circumstances, so I wasn't really bummed out by it.

Why yes, yes I am (actually, the first thing I thought when I saw the title of this topic was 'hey, now there's a Jonathan topic ;) which is the only reason I'm making a post now).

Yayness! It's Jonathan! The second that I saw this topic I thought of you. :D

I don't have any dramatic injury stories, but a couple weeks ago I got a little metal sliver through my fingernail, which really hurt and was quite unpleasant. Somebody got the metal out for me, fortunately, because I don't think I could have done it myself! It still looks unpleasant, though it doesn't hurt much anymore.

That time when I crash into a parked car on my bike and busted my chin and my teeth. Then some flying monkey beat me up. Ouch.

the worst times for me was probably when I broke my right and left feet (at separate times).

And then there is the time I shot myself in the ankle with a nail gun :-k

or the time recently I was taking a jump with my bike and the shocks fell out and I landed face first in the middle of the road... my face still doesn't look quite the same :anxious:

JIA (9/13/2008 10:54:33 AM): *falls over*
WINDSHEAR (9/13/2008 10:54:46 AM): I've already fallen over and died :noway:
WINDSHEAR (9/13/2008 10:54:47 AM): I beat you. :neener:

I remember you telling me about that rawfl.

My worst injuries are when I broke my arms. At separate times, but still.

They were both as I was doing something retarded as well ;).
