After joining my local cricket club and well lets say came out blue and black and also hurt my knee badly on a different occasion,so I was wondering what is/was the worst injury you have(for lack of a better word)"attained"

I flipped my car a few times, and ripped my arm wide open. Needed two surgeries to put it back together.

Broke my nose after a bicycle accident in boy scouts. I just don't get injured.

My jaw has been lock so that I may only open it a 1/3rd of it's normal distance since the day after Christmas. Waiting on the insurance to get surgery.

I've led an injury free and safe existence so far.

Torn my MCL (a ligament in the knee) snowboarding.
It was 5 days towards the end of the season so I couldn't do any clean down on the chalet.! Also got a free helicopter ride!
I also couldn't walk for at least 6 weeks and it gives me grief to this day.
Heliocopter, heliocopter, heliocopter! Yay YAY yAy

Arm x Window = Laceration, just 2mm away from the artery.

Brill scar from it now though.

I had to have surgery to repair my knee following my team-mate (fat lump of an O-Lineman playing inside me at D-Tackle and being a tyical fat idiot) falling on me and bending my knee the wrong way.

ACL rebuild
MCL repir
cartilage removed
bone graft

Lots of fun. Learning to walk again is a great chuckles.

fruit coring knife through the shoulder. You don't want to know the sound of metal grinding against bones, especially when you're the one who has to pull the knife back out. Because it was such a thin, narrow blade I don't even have a scar to point at, just an aversion to the opposite sex.

Ouch, I feel that one!

Double Ouch, I hope I never feel that one!

When I was six my older brother broke my right index finger with a hammer... intentionally.

That's harsh. But I have to ask, was there provocation? My brother once threw a lawn dart at me and it went through my foot into the ground, but it was nothing more than sheer stupidity.

I was hit in the face with a driver (gold club).




I've also sustained considerable mental injury.

You know, to be honest I can't remember why he did it. What I do remember was being in class the next day and the other kids constantly trying to touch/ grab my finger-brace.

Playing football with my brother and father (dad as quarterback) I dove and caught a long pass, touchdown! I look up and I see my dad and brother just staring at me with their mouths open. I look down and see my left forearm folded in half - clean break of both bones right in the middle, sticking at a 90 degree angle. Thats when I started screaming (I was 12).

My dad stayed with me while my brother rode his bike home to get my mom to get a car to take me to the hospital. In the meantime my dad got tired of my screaming and decided to try to set the break by pulling on my arm and straightening it. He also says it was "grossing him out". I guess it stopped me from screaming.

I don't remember this myself but my dad tells me that after I went in and the doctor set the break, etc, the doctor came out and saw my dad and just looked at him and said "he told me what you did".

I have never actually had to go to the hospitle for treatment. I had a real nast exhaust pipe burn once.

I got very badly beaten in a fist fight once, and the guy stamped on my head a while afterwards. Came close to killing me, but luckily I've a thick skull. He broke his hand on my jaw .

Apart from that, I dislocated my knee in training once, and didn't realise it (thought it was a sprain and I was being a wuss) and walked home on it. Did irrepairable soft tissue damage and I now walk with a limp, and will probably need a stick when I'm older.
Moral of the story: Don't be a hardarse eejit.

all of them? lol, out of all my injurys i only went 2 hospital with a minor 1.... when i had my nose shattered in a "fight"(consisted of him punchin me n me just walkin.... seemed like it pissed him off a but that i wouldnt take him on...)

tore a few ligiments in my foot from skatin.... still have fun walkin on it even though it was a few years ago.... and iv broken a rib and didnt go to hospital, cos im an idiot, and it gives me bother on a weekly basis....

Both my knees are very beaten up from years of wear and tear - not landing properly after jumping off things, taking a chunk out of my right one on the metal surround of a doormat, being whacked in the knee by a windlass somebody was swinging round and various other things. They are a constant source of pain.

Once fell out of a tree and crotched myself on a garden fence - not pleasant. I have never climbed a tree since.

Other than that I have lead a fairly injury free life even walked away from a 100mph car crash despite the fact I was stupidly not wearing a seat belt at the time.

Broke both my fibula and tibula at the same time at the ankle by jumping into a short pull straight legged. At the same time I tore all the ligaments and blood vessels from the talus. I was on crutches for nine months and still feel pain when the weather changes 20 years laters.

Yeah, I did my ACL just before Christmas last year. Didn’t hurt a lot and while surgery was pretty obviously needed, I figured I could survive with my knee as it was until after my trip to India in April. Late January the doctor took one look at the MRI and said I was having surgery ASAP. Still in recovery, I can hobble a little and will soon be off the crutches.

I did that playing cricket, turning to take a catch. Cricket, for me anyway, is brutal. When I was a junior I broke my collar bone when I dived for a ball at the same time as another teammate, and in getting out of his way I landed on the point of my shoulder. Also took a vicious bouncer one time, took it right on the jaw bone. It hurt to talk or eat for about a week, and the impact of the ball cut my face so that you could actually see the six stiches of the ball on my jaw. Another time, playing French cricket I took a cricket bat right in the face. Brutal game.

Tore my left ACL playing football. Freshman year of high school, first two-a-day ever. Not a good start.

Broke my nose in a wrestling match. This sucked a lot. Not because of the pain, but because it happened as I was pinning the other kid. Had to hold the blood in my mouth until the fall was called.

Lost 3 teeth in a hockey game; puck to the face, this was before visors were required.

And split open my left brow (23 stitches, not bad) in a Rugby game. I was more upset about missing the social in the ER than the injury itself.

I once had a (real) 12-inch dagger going through my shoulder and into the wall at fencing. I've stuck to swords ever since.

This isn't poncy metal stick fencing, but real swordplay here. As in longswords, etc.

hm......took a nasty fall when i was young and had to have stitches across near my hairline.
more recently.....got into some chemicals that were stronger then i realized, and fethed my hands up pretty badly for a month or so
needing to wrap your fingers in cotton or something equally soft because a pants zipper hurt something fierce to operate otherwise.

I have a malicious Doorframe that has wounded me three times whilst a young me was excitedly running outside

1) Sliced open my heel (Urgh!)

2) Shattered my toenail (OW!)

3) Ripped off the same toenail (YOWZA!)

Someone made an article similar to this, check it out;

1. Was clinically dead for about ten minutes after capsizing in a Rowing Single, tangled in some weeds.

2. Had a circumscision at the age of 12, only half anaethesthetizllethethed. (I can't spell that damn word.)

Ouches.

I've broken my left arm twice, and my right arm once. Haven't had any serious injuries lately.

Well I broke my small toe on my right foot last night. I was walking out of the kitchen in my apartment and my toe hooked the molding. Ah well, it will heal.
@GES Three arm breaks? That's downright impressive.

I've cracked my head open twice, broken my nose 3 times, sprained alot of ribs, borken many a finger, broken a couple of toes and i've screwed up my left knee. All that in the space of 15 years, not bad i have to say.

I broke my right arm falling out of my crib when I was 20 months old. I can't really recall how I broke my left. I remember falling, putting my arm out, and then numbness. Haven't had any signifcant injuries in years. Please god, don't let me have just jinxed it.

Sweet...a "topper" thread!
I was driving down the highway on a hot june day. My sweaty back was sticking to the cheap plastic seat of my 1985 Honda Civic. I took my seat belt off to adjust my shirt when....BLAMMO...I hit a retread and lost control of the Honda. I went into the ditch and the Honda rolled. I flew out one of the windows (will never know which one) and landed twenty feet away from the car. My right arm was horribly mangled--hanging around my back with the palm facing out. Evidently only skinny people survive vehicle ejections. Most people make it half out of the window before they get stuck and the car rolls over on top of them crushing them. I cleared the vehicle though and thus escaped with only a permanently fracked arm.
