Whilst running through a field near a Russian Olive - barefoot, mind you - I stepped on a fallen russian olive branch. All I felt was a sudden pain in the middle of my foot. I looked down to discover that there was a spike from siad branch poking about an inch out of the top of my foot. It hurt. A LOT.

Then there is my sledding incident that I had in 6th grade. On a youth trip up to Ande's Prarie (it's basically a sledding hill for the public), some of the older kids made a little jump, and then convinced me to go off it while using a discus sled. So, I get on the discus sled, go down, and then I hit the jump. Coming off of the jump, the sled took a 45 degree pitch to the right, while I took a 45 degree pitch to the left. I landed about 20 feet away from the jump, landing about where the collarbone meets the neck. Next thing I knew, my entire youth group was all around me. I recall one of them asking, "Is he dead?" I couldn't really move my neck to the left, nor could I move my left arm without pain in the shoulder, but the was the extent of my injury. Both lasted about a week.

Lastly, I have some advice for those of you who play Amtgard: Do not jump against a polearm. I've done it twice. The first time was at one of our saturday practices. I jumped, he swept, he caught my feet, I flipped, landed on the ground, on my head. Hard. According to the guy who was wielding the polearm, my feet were about equal in hieght to his eye level. He's 6'2". Came out of it about 5 minutes later. The second one wasn't that bad, I was just swept again, and I did a front flip and landed it while still managing to hit my opponent with my own weapon a few times during the flip.

You already posted this. If you are going to post more than once ,have another injury to post about.

Injuries eh....

Well, got a dent in my head since I was 9 when my brother and i were jumping over one of those rope divider things and my foot got caught, causing the metal pole to come crashing down on my skull. Had to get staples in for that one. Next is the gash in my hand from a snowboarding accident, whoever put that rock on the slope is going to fry. I've had that one since I was 14.

Let's see, what else....I guess nothing much except the concussions from several boating "accidents" (don't ask), the circular scar on my leg I've had since I was 7 when my bike's handle bar went through my leg (long-ish story), and the time my dad drilled through my hand. I think that's about it.

popularnerd · 09-10-2004, 10:54 PM

heh....I remember when I was around eleven a couple of years back, and I knew this one dumbass right....And this guy was a fucking pyro. So he lit a road flare and accidentaly droped some of the ashes on my foot. It burned down maybe about, 1.5 milimeters deep. That's not the worst. About a week later I went to the doctor's for a sore throat(strep) and he asks about the numerous bandages on my foot. I reluctantly explain the incident and he freaks out when he sees that it's infected. Imediately, He washes it off...with rough gauze.....excrutiating pain. For the next two months I recieved regular treatments of silver nitrate to the would and that stuff burns. end of story. Nice scar though.

RaiRai that looks like it hurt....

pshh.

when i was 4!!!!! years old i was in preschool and i was on the highest part of the jungle gym (i climbed on top of the monkey bars of the giant thing) and some kid pushed my off from it. he came up from behind. and i landed head first on the sidewalk.(the jungle gym is located at the very edge of the playground, at the sidewalk) well anyways i cracked my skull and had 10 stitched right up my hair line. makes a nice marker when i comb my hair btw. well anyways i cant remember the kid's name or if he got expelled or not, or if i ever went to school for the rest of the year since that day. and man my memory is bad since that day. i cant remember anything important. i only remember useless crap like the dance to "the thriller" or the hokie pokie or the fun song from spongebob or bohemian rhapsody, the i feel pretty song, and many more. IM LIKE A FRIGGIN MP3 PLAYER!!!!

o and last month, i ran up outa my computer room, at high speeds i might add, and ran my knee straight into the corner of the wall. i was going so fast, that i got half way up my 20-stair staircase before i felt the pain and rolled back down the stairs holding my knee yelling in agony...i was rolling on the floor for 20 minutes b4 i could walk again.

DrmChsr0 · 09-12-2004, 07:24 AM

Can't say I have any bloody wounds to talk about. Just cuts, bruises, the odd assache and a sprained neck.

09-12-2004, 01:00 PM

Ass ache?! Not gonna go there...(even though I am very tempted!)

I already told most of my neat injuries, but I still have a few left...(I think)

I have learned, the hard way, that I have very weak ankles. In fact, the last time I wrestled with a friend, I gave him a super kick (Shawn Michael's finishing move) and I suddenly just...collapsed. I was laying on the floor, my trench coat sprawled around me, looking at the ceiling like..."What the FUCK just happened?" At that point, I didn't know my ankle (left) had gone "POOF!" I shook me head, slapped my forehead with a palm, and got to my feet, then fell over again. I realized I tore the ankle (after doing it enough to the right one, you'd know what it feels like) I was like "FUCKIN SHIT! It's sprained..." So I lay there for a couple minutes, sigh, get up, and somehow walk normally for most of the day. Yeah, well, that just helped permify the injury some more, and now I've got two bad ankles instead of one. (Even have a neat brace for 'em.) That was...Prolly around 6-7 months ago. Maybe a little more.

RIght ankle, I hopped down 3 steps (Yes, fucking three!!!) and landed on my right ankle. It twisted inward, then up. My toes were pointing completely vertically, my ankle having torn so friggin much. Yeah, almost tore the ligament in half. (Couldn't even walk with a decent pace for a good 6 months) Lemme tell ya, those injuries always stay with you! (It goes out every now and then...)

I think I mentioned the dislocated shoulder and torn skin...(one of the only scars I have)

Popped knees (partial dislocation; thank the heavens they were never complete dislocations!).

Ohh, this one is neat!

I was running through the woods and my right arm got hooked into an archway of thorns. Me being the dumb ass that I am, I stopped, looked back, and tugged my arm as hard as I could. I tore the arch way down, and, in the process, ripped open my arm. I didn't realize how much I was bleeding until I felt the stuff on my palm. I looked at it, said "Aw, what the fuuuuck?!" and pulled out the little thorns in me. Grabbed me some of the snow that hadn't melted, and used it to stop me arm from bleeding. (it really works!) No scars, though...But it is funny, nonetheless.

I'll post more when I think of some more...

I've had millions of injuries. Too many to count. One of the funniest ones happened last week. I come home from work (totally tired and upset because my boss had yelled at me for a long time) to find that my mom had thrown away all my cds by accident. I kept them in a big brown box in my closet, all neat and nice in their cases with the sleaves. My mom thought it was trash like several other boxes in my closet and trashed em. The garbage guys had allready come so there was no saving them. I had been collecting those cds since I was 13. There was at least $900 worth of music in there. I forgot to mention that I have a hair-trigger temper. The only thing to keep me from beating the crap out of someone was to beat the crap out of myself. So I dropped to my hands and knees and began slamming my head against the wood floor, screaming the whole time(think metal geat solid when the ninja pounded his head against the floor in the room where you fight ocelot. That give you a good mental picture?) I picked myself up after about a minute of this and walked to my room. I thought I fell asleep cause I was so tired, but apparently I passed out on my bed. I wake up in the emergency room with a big gash on my forehead and under my hairline. I laugh about it now, but it was hard to flirt with girls when you have either a fuggin huge gauze bandage or raw mark on your head.

EVILNess · 09-12-2004, 11:53 PM

I fell out of a magnolia tree when I was little. Let me rephrase that... I fell out of the TOP of a magnolia tree, hitting several braches on the way down, smacking concrete after a twenty five foot fall. It hurt, alot. I didn't break anything, or lose anything important. It just hurt, really really bad. There I was six or so laying on the ground crying for about 3 hours before my dad found me after getting home from errands.

Saying he was angry at his wife was an understatement. She was drunk off her rocker, passed out in the toilet. I don't mean just in the bathroom, I mean IN the toilet. Oh on a side note my mom whupped my father's wife's ass, ending up breaking four of her fingers, her nose, and her foot. My mom had NO charges brought against her because of the whole "Child Endangerment" thing.

Derfel · 09-13-2004, 08:08 AM

I dislocated my knee a week ago, I still have to use a brace and walk with a cane hah. Oh and I dislocated it 2 years ago to. And one time I broke my hand ona brick wall, 4 fingers and one of the hand bones were broken. That sucked.

Nosferatu · 09-13-2004, 09:36 PM

Few days ago Partialy Dislocated my left hip while doing ROTC athletic team practice after school. Was running the 100 meter dash and suddenly my entire leg just fealing as if i was stabbed. I Stumble across the line.

Then i have to run another 40 meter dash next. I get rdy to run... i go.. i'm fine for .5 seconds then go straight down.

Back in North carolina when i was like 6, I was following ym cousin through the forest near his house. After we got back we went to his room to play. His mom enter's few minutes later and screams while pointing at my leg. I look down to see that i have 2 big gash's in the side of my leg near anklish area. Strange this was i never even fealt it. Even though like entire right side of my leg was bloody.

Not a personal injury I had... but it's one i gave to someone in a fight. While fighting a kid who had walked up and just decked me in face for no reason, i got a clean shot on his right eye. 5 minutes later after the fight, we we're both in the Office luaghing about the fight, b/c evidently he decked me b/c his friend had hit him in face and he thought it was me (note we both beat shit outa friend later) well we continued to luagh untill i got a good look at his face up close... his entire right eyeball was blood red. Evidently my punch had "cut" his eyeball and it was internaly bleeding. I told him and he freaked and asked if he could go to bathroom for a mirror, we both went and looked and he basicaly luaghed at it saying that he was wondering why it hurt.
