Deadliest injury you have caused to another human?

[AzureRaven]

Worst thing I've ever done is really tackle people while playing football...I've left a few bruises and people woozy but that's it. Errr, American football mind you.

Honestly, I cause more damage to myself with my clumsiness.
I've come half an inch from losing an eye with a gash in my face that took 10 stitches, crashed on a bike which broke my wrist, burned myself a few times, broke a collar bone and dislocated both arms playing football, and probably worst of all I overexerted myself weight lifting and messed up my MCL pretty bad. Any kind of running/walking for long on hard surfaces causes it to start hurting like nuts.

And the best part is I don't have Medical Insurance right now. I'm an accident waiting to happen.

I gave someone a paper cut once, with cardboard... it bled a little bit.

On deployment in Timor my section was attacked on patrol, three rounds in in first fella I lined up.

Thankfully, that was my last patrol before shipping home, so I was able to skip out on anymore tours and deal with the fact I just shot someone to death

I've accidentally (seriously accidentally!) broken both of my sisters arms and one of their wrists. I was prone to hurting my older and younger siblings when I was 8 and 5. When I was five I was messing around on a rocking chair, you know like a 5 year old, and my 4 year old sister ingeniously stuck her hand under the left rocker(?), the other was we were messing around with one of those balls you sit on and grab when we tried to make it bounce really high by jumping off a bed. she told me to push the ball, I swear! The other, when I was 8, was when I was riding on the back of a ATV with my sister and we were making a tight turn and I accidentally stepped on the foot brake. I was lucky enough to know what had happened so I jumped off, while my sister, not knowing what had happened, had a ATV meant for early teenagers (she was 10) roll over her chest and left arm, twice. Aaaand, post.

Accidentally broke a kids leg sliding into second base when I was like 10 or 11.

Back when I was in gradeschool, I was friends with a few middle school kids. As they had started to hit puberty, they were all significantly taller and stronger than I was. One day, while on the playground, we decided it would be a good idea to fight each other, and me. So I and one of the guys squared off after they warmed up with each other, and I charged him. He threw me down without effort. I got up, and charged him again. He stopped me cold, and threw me down again. I got up and, anticipating his block, got up underneath him and knocked him off his feet, and he sprawled back and smacked his head against one of those weird geodesic domes that they have on playgrounds for climbing. He didn't get up for about a minute, and it turned out that he had a concussion.

I have my doubts about that...
For being the site with the biggest collection of hardcore nerds I've been to, the stories some of the guys here tell are something out of a movie. Like that guy who jumped down 20-feet to land on a moving train, and then ran home. And about 20% of the users here have an IQ of 150.

But if that really happened, leave the last two sentences out next time you tell the story -
" I left his ass there. He's got the balls to pull a knife on someone. hes got the balls to suffer.". I can't even think of any fictional character that could pull those lines off.

OT:
Ugh, not much. Maybe a broken nose, rib or something non-fatal like that. Kicked a guy in the throat once, that was scary (thought he couldn't breathe).
Oh, and fooling around with a friend once, drunk, I tripped him into falling on his back head on concrete. Thought I killed him.

Not everyone has been a nerd for their whole lives, back then when i was still training karate i hated physics didn't care about philosophy or anything math related now my life style has changed so much that you probably wouldn't know it was me if you would have known me back then and would see me now. Oh and now days i love those things that i said i used to hate. Basically i used to be Dumb martial artist and now days i'm a huge geek.

One: It dosent take much to defend yourself, if you take the time to learn. two: Your opinion vs mine, when i experienced it. three: the last two sentences are truth and not tough guy lines. If you do something, you better be prepared for the consequences. Yeah i may be a nerd at times, but im also a nerd that likes guns and can easily make a one inch grouping at 300 yards with a 30-06. Not even a "hard" shot rifle wise.

Well, I was wrong then. Sorry about that, but you wouldn't be the first nerd to lie on the internet about himself so forgive my suspicion. That's a badass story, but I still think those seemed like tough guy lines. No matter though! Good thing you're here to actually tell the tale. I would have pissed myself and given up everything if I had a choice.

And yes, I know it doesn't "take much to defend yourself". I've been training combat sports for many a year, staying with kickboxing/MT and MMA. I have tried several others, but found them to be too much bullshit to be frank, or plain ineffecient techniques based on theory. I will acknowledge krav maga though, there's a lot of nasty hidden in that box of chocolates.

I just find it a bit weird that I'm often the most "badass" guy people know (coming from them) + that I'm a big geek too, but what I can do and have done pales in comparison to many other escapist geeks. I find myself thinking "what are the chances?".

And if I fight 'on the street' I use.. well, punches, somewhat technical wrestling, trying to keep my balance and my head straight. Nothing fancy, because that will get my ass beat. That someone actually pulls of the magical ninja stuff some people describe here just seems so surreal.

Fair enough. It was just a simple side step, grab, punch, break. Although it did seemed a little 'ninja' after you said something. The best way to disable an opponent is through simple anatomy. Small things about our bodies can knock us down like nothing. Such as punching a wind pipe, a submission hold if you will, i even know if knee someones thigh in the correct spot they will not be able to use that sucker for at least an hour. Also temporary paralysis.

At the time i reacted. I disabled the threat, and then i disabled his knife hand. Which is how you see the situation. Just how i reacted. Didnt want to come as a dick, just retorting.

 

[TheAceTheOne]

I shot a guy in the throat and watched him die.

No, no, I kid. But seriously, I threw a snorkel at my sister's face and hit her right between the eyes. She bled for a few hours. Whoops. I'll claim it was an accident, but I might be wrong.

 

[The Breadcrab]

I can't recall much of anything, to be honest. There was that one time when my friend broke their ankle on my trampoline when we were both on it, but I don't think it was my fault.

I guess I'm just a peaceful person.

 

[Haukur Isleifsson]

I was just about to share some stories... but than I figured that some of them might very well count as felonies or at the very least would be viewed very seriously by potential future landlords and employers. So yeah sorry can't really put that kind off things here out in the open where it could get Googled. And by the looks of it some of you might want to reconsider your posts...

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I tripped my sister, she hit her head on bricks and had to go to the hospital.

I was young at the time, so I didn't feel too much guilt, I wasn't half sure what happened.

 

[Aprilgold]

Well, I left a bruise on someone, welp, thats all.

 

[Jack_Uzi]

Don't know. Does harming their ego count too?

 

[Thumper17]

I bruised a kids jaw.

Captcha: been there.

Havent we all?

 

[major_chaos]

when I was 13 may dad (who messes with me all the time) picked me up (one handed because he goes to the gym and i'm rather scrawny) in front of my friends just to make me mad, unfortunately it worked and out of a combination of frustration and embarrassment I kicked him in the chest as hard as i could and ended up bruising one of his ribs. my mother was shall we say.... displeased
I could also mention that I know someone who does stuff like in the first post so often that no one who knows him will fight him at all despite his begging. It's not that hes trying to hurt people he just likes to show off and has no self control combined with an impressive array of different fighting styles

 

[TheDarklite]

Certainly no burst intestines on my part, but when I was very little....

I wanted to hop on a slide in a playground and there was a kid up the top. I was waiting patiently but he wouldn't go. He then started to throw sand at me from the top (why was there sand up there? who knows...). I got angry and climbed up there. I grabbed him and threw him over the side. It was a 2m drop.

I happily used the slide


I also got in a lot of trouble and I have no idea what happened to that other kid.

 

[Jodah]

I cracked heads with my best friend in 4th grade or something like that. We were in gym and were using those little POS wood scooters. We had to do a backwards crab walk on them, we were both going really fast and cracked heads. I got a pretty big bump...he needed 10 stitches. Fun times...

 

[Norendithas]

I severed 3 fingers off a friends hand...We're still cool though

I love this. xD

OT: I have this wooden Chinese training broadsword I got from a culture festival. I accidentally hit my sister in the head with it, giving her 3 stitches.

 

[Magus44]

The first time I was drunk with friends, we were in a school (classy eh) and there was a bat tennis bat. Don't ask me why but I threw it at my friend, it looked like it was going to miss, but it hit the ground and ricocheted into his face.
At a camp we were moving wooden logs on a hill. I threw one behind me not checking if it was clear and it hit another guy in the head. Luckily it had been raining and it was soft wood, but still.
Ive also been involved in a rugby tackle that sent someone do hospital, but that wasnt just me.
I also slammed my brothers head into a door on christmas eve. Split it open and he had to go to hospital. We were chasing each other... Karma got me though, because the next day I got a door slammed in my face and had to get stitches.

 

[Helmet]

Broke a guy's leg in two places in a fight. He walks with a limp now, and most likely will for the rest of his life.
