Tore my ACL skiing when I was 5

Broke both wrists snowboarding, left when I was 10, right when I was 11

Broke my arm three times, don't remember which riding my tricycle off the porch when I was 3 and again when I was 4 and rolling off my parents King size bed when I was 2.

Broke middle finger when it got slammed in a door.

I think that's it...

Fractured my foot. I played football on it for 3 weeks until it was to much to deal with.

Broke my left collar bone and almost my leg....went over the handlebars of my bike when I was about 10 and stopped myself with my collar bone on the curb. Had a nice case of road rash on my face...it's a miracle I don't have scars.

Tight IT band and tendinitis in my right knee now...running on the treadmill and got a little ambitious. That's a boring one.

Tendinitis in both knees playing basketball in HS.

Fractured a knuckle getting hit by a pitch in baseball.

Turned everything from my left calf to my toes black as night during a little motorcycle incident in South Beach.

Almost blew my eardrums out skydiving.

Various finger issues doing different stuff.

Yes, we've done this before.

In fact, we've done everything before. :p

<--I've broken a thumb, my nose, and my right ankle.

Thumb: Goofing around with a friend, we were pretend fighting and I lost my balance, put my hand out to stop the fall and my thumb jammed into the ground. The pain was exquisite.

Nose: Walking dog on icy driveway with hands in my pockets to keep them warm. I slipped and went face first onto the ground.

Ankle: Jumping down stairs.

Coincidentally, all these stupid injuries happened when I was in high school. I swear, people reach the height of their stupidity during their teen years. I was certainly no exception. :)

Nose (twice):

First time I slipped on a patch of ice and fell nose-first onto the ground and broke it

Second time some jerk nailed me in the face, point-blank, with an ice-ball (blood everywhere)

This was when I lived in Winnipeg and there was a lot of ice around. I feel much safer here in Vancouver. :D

My foot in 12th grade gym class playing basketball....some cock sucker stood on my foot and pushed me....I fell and he stayed on my foot.

Never broke anything except maybe little toe, and that hardly counts.

My right knee cap has a dent in it from when I slipped and fell with all my body weight on it. Being 13 or 14 at the time is probably the only thing that saved me from shattering it and having to get it wired together.

I mangled my pinky finger from tripping over my own 2 feet while running. It bends a little inward now but is fine otherwise.

(I was checking to see if this was a recent topic before starting one of my own, explaining the god-like ancient bump)
