What's the worst injury you've sustained?

[The Lugz]

torn my hip abductor muscles, single rope swings are deadly sons of %^*$£^"
sliced my fingers to the bone on my right hand ( i have some really cool giant scars that go half way around my fingers - it really didn't hurt as much as i'd have expected tbh. )
knocked unconscious by oxygen starvation ( exhaustion, this is what happens if you do not stop when you are breathless, probably the scariest thing i've ever had happen to me i felt like i was dying slowly until a paramedic arrived, cold, black vision, messed up sound, cant move and limp like a dead fish whole nine yards, scary crap.)
hit in the forehead by a spinning helicopter blade
( scale model, just really big and painful, damn thing tore a chunk of skin off my eyebrow and made several scars )
hit by a car on my bike and grazed half the skin on my face off across the road
( helmets do nothing kiddies, get a full facer or don't bother at all )

'hums i'm alive'

so pick your favourite, i have others but people probably wouldn't believe me

mostly from being an idiot, not being prepared, pushing myself too far or just bad luck

'edit' gave myself mild Tinitus ( ear damage, temporary in my case ) and saw a brilliant flash of expanding gas ( like a slow-mo image ) when a tyre ruptured in my face, it was part cool and part damn painful like being punched all over my face and chest

I ran into a volleyball net. I was suspended in it for about a second, before slamming onto the floor, head first. was seriously dizzy,and couldn't think. Or move. I also had back pain for about a year. I seriously think I cracked my skull a bit, because there was a ridge on my head that wasn't there before. At least I think not.

 

[aei_haruko]

fell out of a 3 story window. Got glass cuts on my knee, back, and hand/ elbow( not too many) Lost 3 pints of blood, cut patellar tendon, and managed to just barley avoid getting broken bones. Saved my face/ neck, by using an aikido deflection to stop the glass from cutting my face, and a tourqued my body to avoid getting a broken neck. It happened when I slipped on some water near the window

 

[dystopiaINC]

eh, i've always been pretty good at avoiding serious injury, but i have broken a wrist in a biking fall, and my left middle finger in a car door. the finger didn't heal right so it's pinching a nerve and is still VERY sensitive. i jam it pretty bad on stuff regularly.

i've come very close to breaking ribs, and arms before but away walked away really sore and bruised but lucky as hell, my friends haven't been though. i had one friend trip over a rock at full sprint, he landed and another even bigger rock hit his gut, lacerated his liver and cracked a vertebrae, yeah that right a blow to his front broke a bone in his back. and my other friend popped his knee out of it"s socket doing a stupid guitar pose 4 years ago, he still has problems pith it cuz it an be very easy to pop out at any time now.

oh and my teeth are fucked up cuz when i was 4 i feel and knocked a front incisor out, it grew back a few YEARS later when my other teeth came in, until then i had to wear a fake tooth that could be taken out at night, and it came in crooked a little, if i hadn't lost the tooth i may have never need braces, now i still need them cuz the years i was supposed to get them my family switched insurance companies and they refused to cover them for a certain amount of years. i'm 18...

I can't really decide, but some of my worst injuries include: A fractured rib after getting smacked into a table, a heavily bleeding shoulder after falling off my bike and a huge hole in my right leg after almost impaling it on a metal pole.

But damn OP, that's some serious injuries

 

[RaikuFA]

10th grade. chasing my brother through the house slams the door on my hand. dislocating my ring finger. did not notice it for 3 hours

 

[Elsarild]

Lost around 1 cm of my right fuck finger on my left hand in a door at 3. grade.

It took me a moment to understand what a "fuck finger" was.

I think they're usually referred to as a middle finger. Just putting it out there.

OT: I dunno, ligament damage in my right ankle. I think it was much worse than any of the (many) bones that I've broken, some of which are set at awkward angles as they broke clean through.

Urgh, I re-read my post now, and I see where you are comming from, English isn't my first language and here we don't really have a proper word for it, go firgue.

 

[triggrhappy94]

I fell off a roof onto hard dirt, and gashed up my forehead one time.
Blacked out right before I hit the ground and woke up a couple seconds later.
Despite some cuts and bruises, and possibly some amnesia (I couldn't remember the previous day) I was completely fine. I jumped up and started tending to my own cuts after a minute.
My mom throught the gash on my forehead was bad acme.

Im like Bruce Willis in Unbreakable.
I don't get hurt easily.

EDIT:
Im also pretty sure I messed up my coxius (tail bone) while snowboarding. Hurt like hell.
I also almost drown, but that's personal.

1. Broken front tooth in the 6th grade from playing baseball (i was catcher, the kid that swung the bat let go by accident causing the bat to fly into my face).
2. I got a really nasty electrical burn on my right arm in the 11th grade from doing some electrical work (without any experience).
3. I broke my arm in a major car accident (buddy driving too fast, the back right wheel ended up falling off and we went into a tail spin and crashed into a barricade).
4. Had to get 4 stitches right below my chin from falling chin first on the sidewalk (I blacked out, completely sober, still don't know why I had that black out).
5. Had another 2 stiches on my nose for a work injury 2 years ago. A server blade slid out above my head as i was racking a ups on the bottom of the server rack. The guy who was suppose to make sure that all servers were secure and stand BEHIND me to make sure I was safe walked away to answer his cell phone when it happened. I'm happy to report that I was able to punch him in the face and not get fired (he did however).

But in all honesty, I'm surprised thats all that has happened to me based on all the crazy crap I use to do as a teenager.

Little over a year ago I got into a car accident peeling off 3 layers of skin on my left arm along with a 3rd degree burn, abrassion on my lower left arm, road rash on my left shoulder, 15 stitches on my left side and a abrassion on my right side head. Scaring my forehead, glass cut above my right eye and scraping on the right cheekbone to the right side of my nose. Fun times.

Though they said nothing was fractured or broken, I can now crack my sternum.

I was on sailing camp, and we were going underneath this bridge. As you can likely understand, it takes some time to prepare a sailing boat to go underneath a bridge. During this time I was standing on a damm, the next moment I woke up at the hospital.
I must have gotten something seizure like or something, for I'd fallen to the ground (between 3 and 4 feet lower then the damm) and from my wounds they could tell I hadn't used any reflexes.
Anyway there was a small crack in my skull and a very heavy concussion. They kept me at some artificial coma for two days. (I worried the doctors when I woke up half a day sooner then expected). At least I think I did, the details are very hazy.

Years back at my first job I worked in a machine shop. Whilst using a Drill press I had to swap out bits and as I was doing this, I accidentally hit the power button and got my sleeve caught in the Chuck, which began twisting my arm. This caused the Ulna and Radius to fracture, then spear their way through my arm. Luckily my body went into shock so I didn't feel anything. Some of my Co workers got me out and took me to hospital where they patched me up and sent me home around 30 + stiches later. Ended up with a few screws in my arm too, which I've learned to be careful not to hit because it really hurts

 

[thejackyl]

A simple concussion. Took a line drive to the face when I was pitching in softball. Knocked me out for a few minutes, and it left a nasty bruise, but didn't swell up at all.

About a decade earlier I took a softball to the teeth, and it knocked one out, but that's about it.

 

[Caligulove]

Hanging out at a friend's house- having a bonfire, freshman year of college. Went to the garage to get more firewood, dislodged something in the rafters and the family's canoe that was stored up there came undone from its ties and fell.

Hit my right side shoulder and outstretched forearm- breaking my collar bone and giving a minor fracture to the ulna- causing me to drop all the firewood, tripping and bruising a rib upon landing on one of the pieces of wood. Basically 1/4 of my body felt paralyzed, then horribly stiff for over a month. Painful only at first, but was more of a boring experience than anything else.

Family was good friends with my friend's parents but my dad got really irrational and threatened to sue the other family. But they talked it out, I held no grudge and they ended up settling, informally, with my friend's parents paying for the medical bills not covered by insurance- and my dad's apology for being rash. Thankfully still on great terms with the family and friend.

While playing in a football game for my highschool I got my left ring finger caught in someone's helmet. The finger was yanked back against the top of my wrist, I know because I felt it touch my skin and wondered how the hell that was happening, and then snapped back. This tore the tendons inside that finger, causing what most people call "trigger finger." Hurt like a *****, and I played the rest of the game one handed.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

It must have been summer of 1993!

I was 5 years old and my family (or rather, my Dad's side of the family) went to...I assume Ocean City Maryland(?) some place with a ton of mini-golf places. Well, I sink a shot hole-in-1 and run to tell my Dad about it by ramming my putter up his ass Donatello style (big fan of TMNT and violence)

Anyway, the holes are all surrounded by brick instead of the usual wood so when I trip over my clumsy 5-year old feet and scrape my arm on one it isn't so much a scrape as it is a huge-freaking gash, running from wrist to elbow of my right arm.

I should have probably gotten stitches but I feared needles and Dad didn't want to bring me home stitched up so instead of expert medical care, I dunked my arm in peroxide, was given several bandages and a brand new copy of Star Fox which was the best healing aid of all.

I split my head open in 2nd grade and was given a staple instead of stitches but I think the earlier injury was the worse one because I still have the scar on my arm. Granted, it's only visible in a certain light and the head wound wasn't cured by any game whatsoever but stupid medical science.

 

[geezah91]

Playing rugby 7's in school when I was 16 I got hit right on the side of my right knee. Didn't feel painful until I tried to get up and couldn't support myself. An MRI showed that I'd shattered the meniscus, ruptured the lateral and collateral ligaments, and strained the ACL. I couldn't do anything strenuous on my leg for 7 months until I got surgery. I still can't get the pace I had before the injury and I still get kept awake by the pain in my knee, 3 years on.

 

[lordlillen]

i have never broken anything or lost any large amount of blood the biggest thing i have had was when i was a kid around 5-6 years i was bear footed and got my left foot stuck un the backwheel of a moving bike and chopped of about half my foots skin, now it istn anything big but the scar is rather large.

 

[E-Penguin]

Well, when I was a toddler my sister slipped while she was carrying me down the stairs.

It took five days before anyone noticed it.

I don't remember it though.
