    Was probably 11 or 12 at the time, over the handlebars on a bike, landed head first onto the edge of concrete steps (with no helmet)

    Ended up with a fractured skull and jaw, fun fun.

    There's a small piece missing from the steps tho! :D

    Some injuries were natural broken bones, the usual kids stuff and also such things as bad infections that nearly killed me.
    Some injuries were caused by others out to kill me. They failed, I won. Worst actual injury came from being shot at one of the occasions.

    Fractured skull twice - Once when i was 2, decided that my high chair wasn't that high at all. Second time i fell off the back of a milk truck at about 6 years old, still remember that egg breaking sound.
    Tore cruciates in my knee playing indoor football.
    Tore ligaments in my ankle playing GAA
    Broken nose,broken knuckle, fun night.
    Shattered ankle jumping from a height. 2 operations and some screws, plates and wires.
    Two broken ribs falling from a tree and landing on a branch
    Dislocated shoulder, bro punched me. Can still pop it out.
    Broken arm, fibia and tibia. Slippped on wet dancefloor 2 plates and 18 screws.
    Broken metatarsal, some heifer stood on it in a nightclub.
    Also needed head stitches 3 other times from random head bangs.
    And no, I'm not James Bond

    Dislocated kneecap, twice.
    Broke my coccyx when I slipped off the pedal doing a wheelie. Coccyx slammed against the pointy end of the saddle. Couldn't walk for 3 weeks.
    Fell out of a tree onto my head - headache for two weeks. Do you think my mother would bring me to a doctor? "Dispirin will do ya"

    Cracked my skull when i was a kid. Since then i twisted my knee.... That's just about it. I guess you can say im risk adverse. The head injury will be used in the future when they catch me.

    Same as me! Except I only sprained them once. Luckily, I sprained one first and then a month later, sprained the other. I still had the crutches from the first sprain. Handy!

    The pain was so bad I puked.

    was in goals in football and some arse kicked the ball into my palm from 2 yards and broke my wrist.

    as a courageous man i went outfield and played on with a broken wrist, then i realised soon that it was a retarded idea.

    Walking home from a nightclub years ago with a complete skinful on me. Took a short cut across a field only to be faced by a eight foot high spiked fence. No problem.

    Swung the first leg over no bother. Other foot slipped and I impaled myself on the spike. Removed myself from spike. Missed my knackers by two inches and the hole in my leg was about the size of an old Irish pound coin.

    Ah happy days....

    Split my forehead twice before I was three. Broke both bones in my lower left leg when I was seven "my welly twisted backwards mammy". Broke my hand, twisted both ankles badly, stuck to the banister in the morning for the first descent of the day. Cut off my knuckle with a knife- ouch down to the bone. Thanks to hurling too many lacerations and bruises to mention. Thanks to cheffing too many cuts and burns to mention.

    Cracked my left elbow, hurt like hell. I knew something was up when my left arm locked up at a 45 degree angle! Still locks up every now and then.

    :rolleyes:
