I broke my collar bone by jumping out of a moving car because I did not want to go to church.

I did not have to go to church with the break. Went to hospital instead...hurrah

I've had a fracture but I don't think any of my bones have ever broken exactly.
I'd still say that a fracture is a brake. It's not in one piece really if it's been fractured.

Never hurt myself badly.....yet
Worst I've had is probably falling from a foot high bench onto my face, which made a huge scab but nothing big

I broke my wrist snowboarding. That makes it sound so much better than it really was, conjures up images of a high-speed collision or something. In reality I got off the top of a chairlift when to sit down and strap my feet onto the board and put my hand out funny as I sat down and broke my wrist.

Also having broken my wrist I then proceeded to board all the way down the mountain to our apartment, put on a wrist guard majiggy which basically held it in place and then spent the rest of the holiday like nothing had happened before going to a doctors once I got back to England.

I've dislocated one arm, broken the other, broken many fingers, cracked my skull and bruised some ribs.

As you can see, I have a very uneventful life.

Fell off the top bunk. Sprained my leg. Healed incredibly quickly with occasional spasms for 10 years or so afterwards. They have since stopped.

Wrist. Hurt like a ***** too.
I hear that. Fractured one of those tiny wristbones upon falling off a roof... one of those tiny damn bones that move if you even think about twitching a muscle anywhere in your arm. God, how it sucked.

I have dislocated my left shoulder more times than I like to remember. Unlike breaking it, it just gets weaker each time, and it fucking hurts, because the muscles are all stretched. The morphine is fun, tho.

no.

i'm way to careful about these things.

but at least i know it's working.

my brother broke his arm pretty badly a while ago though. fell off a shed and put his arm out to stop himself falling.

not MY bones, but I have broken my friend's nose twice: once we were playing rugby, and then again when i picked him up without guessing how much he weighed first

Well I sprained my left right ankle and fractured my left one time, that was a fun four weeks... Also fractured my skull when I slipped over on the side of a swimming pool, cracked it right behind my left ear and had to have this funny glue stuff put on it.

No actual breakages here though, unless you count tripping and falling chin first onto concrete and breaking three or four of your bottom teeth. That's right, not knocked out, broken. I'm glad I was so young, I've blocked out all the horrible memories of gum-related trauma.

Yeah, I did break the bone of my right elbow joint back when I was 5. What happened was that I was riding in a little tykes coupe car that was being pushed by two of the kids on my street. While I was riding in the car it tipped over because I was going really fast and when it did the left side of car came crashing down on my right arm and the kids who were pushing me accidently fell on top of the car. Suffice to say I had to go to the hosipital where I learned that the bone in the upper part of my arm popped right out of the joint of my elbow and I had to wear a cast.

After two weeks I had to go back to the hosipital and I learned that the bone twisted 360 degrees and the surgens had to rebreak it and put in new stitches which hurt even worse than the first time I broke it.

Thankfully, my arm has healed since then and it works perfectly now but I still have a scar and 3 stitch marks to prove it.
