Are they sure you don't have cancer, or some sort of malnutrition?

Femurs don't just break. You may want to get a second opinion.
I'm with you on this one. Either he hit it at the strangest angle with an unusual amount of force behind it, or he's got some bone density issues that should be looked into.

i was 9 at the time and i was going up the escalator in the local aquarium when my shoes got caught in the escalator. it pulled me in another couple of centimetres where my toes got stuck in the escalator. luckily it automatically stopped and the managed to reverse the escalator pushing my toe out( fucking hurt) . doctors said i was lucky i still had my toes but ALL of my toes were shattered!

When I was young, like 3 or 4, I got my head stuck in a potty and had to have surgery to get it removed.
I hope you mean the potty, not your head, because that would be really inconvenient later.

I've not had anything so drastic happen to me fortunately.

my guess would be bone cancer or calcium deficiency.

anyway, i dont think i have any freak accidents. i have never broken a bone before. fracture my hand on someones face.

the freakiest accident i can think of is tripping up some stairs and cause of my momentum and my stumbling etc i end up landing 8 meters away from the stairs in another room.

When I was around 7, I was riding my bike when the wheel popped out of the front and I flipped over the handlebars. Crazyness...

I used to work with a lady that nearly died after stepping off a boat.

The lady in question lived on a canal boat, and on one occasion when she stepped off the boat onto the grass at the side of the canal, she felt a sharp pain in her foot.
So she assumed that she'd twisted her ankle and thought nothing of it.

As it turned out, there had been some kind of freak muscle compression when she put her weight on the foot that caused a massive deep vein thrombosis to form at the base of her leg. As sometimes happens with DVT, when it moved and nearly killed her.

I also knew someone who suffered 1st degree burns from flu. (She fainted due to having a fever and fell into a seated position with her back resting up against a radiator on full blast. When she was found several hours later by her husband, her back had literally been melted onto the radiator)

When i was about 8, my family had a 4x4 with a sunroof. I was down my familys alotment and my dad was letting me stand on the back seats of the car with my upper body sticking out of the sunroof. We wnt over some sort of pot hole and i was flung out of the car onto the ground behind it. Those were the days.

I walked into a building literally the second it was hit by a mortar when I was 12.

I don't know if that counts as an "accident" but it was my worst injury induced by bad luck.
It's only an accident if it was a friendly fire mortar. Otherwise it's just normal terrible.
