Broke my left arm when I was in first grade by falling down the stairs.

The day that I got my cast off from the broken arm I tried roller coasting down a different flight of stairs and ended up breaking my collar bone.

In 7th grade I was chasing after a kid and slipped and the first thing to hit the ground was my shoulder. Chalk up a second broken collar bone. (same one that I broke in first grade)

My freshman year in football I tackled a 250 pound lineman that picked up a fumble. We both ended up landing on my hand - so that was like 410 pounds + equipement that landed on my hand. Add a broken hand to the list.

I don't want to even know how many broken fingers and toes I had. I can probably attribute at least three broken fingers to basketball injuries, and a broken toe or two to cross country.

Damn I was an active kid :)

I've broken, my right ring finger once, and right pinkie twice. Dislocated my left pinkie as well. Sprained my right pinkie too. Did them playing football, kickball, and baseball.

Another thing, that dislocated pinkie looked pretty cool. Perfectly strait until the first knuckle and it jut out at like a 45 degree angle from where it should have been. Wish I got a picture, but at the time (14 years old), I felt I needed to bend it back into place. Still not completely strait, but mostly.

I've just broken my collar bone. It happened when I was 2, my babysitter was giving me a big good bye hug, and he broke my collar bone. It's really a pretty good statistic considering I've been in 3 car wrecks, and 1 helicopter crash. None of them my fault.
