    Fractured my 4th and 5th tarsometatarsal bones in my foot last year as well as a dislocated cuboid while playing a football match.
    Still not fully recovered and prob never will be

    Funniest injury was while i was working on a mine site in Australia and half of the campsite where flying home the next day for a week off so we all went to the pub, i went to toilet area where a bunch of lads were messing flinging toilet roll and i heard one of the rolls fall into the toilet bowl so i was waiting for it to be flung back, it was indeed thrown straight at my head so i ducked resulting in my face hitting the cistern and resulting in a broken nose.
    There then had to be an investigation to what happened and none of the management could keep a straight face,while i explained what happened.

    Broke my arm in 2 places in a car crash.
    The break damaged my nerves and lost all movement in the arm
    Arm better but will never be fully right. Have no Feeling in ring and baby finger.
    I am used to it now and I always give thanks no one was killed in that crash.
    To think you could have caused someone’s else death is sobering

    Smashed 3 front teeth. Very sore, and very expensive

    I got a smack of a car when I was younger and was out cold but didn't break anything.

    I put it down to all the milk I drank, which I'll probably also blame for heart disease when the time comes.

    Milk doesn't cause heart disease.

    I got crushed under a ramp of a cattle trailer when 15 cattle came out of the trailer over it. No broken bones but I had a fairly sore back for two weeks after same as if I were run over by a train. Another time I got bucked off a horse onto solid ground, I dropped 6 feet in the air in a sitting position pulled a muscle in my thigh and was in crutches for 8 weeks after. Spent a few sleepless nights after that one and felt like I was run over by a train in the mornings.

    Jaysus, you wouldn't want to be working on a farm so where cuts are almost an everyday ocurrence.

    Fell into the side of a glasshouse when I was 6 and nearly lost my arm. It took 60 stitches and a skin graft to put it back together, they had to get a plastic surgeon from the Mater to come to temple Street to work on my arm because there was nothing they could do for me.

    Have a pretty cool scar now that takes up most of my forearm :D
