None here, either.

Pretty amazing, considering I have totally wiped out on my bike so many times... I do have gashes and scars, but no broken bones.

I must be made outta rubbah!

Broken my Collar Bone. I was skating( skateboarding if you will ) down a hill and one of my wheels came off the trucks,,, I tried to balance away from that side but overdid it and the trucks scrapped. The next thin I know I'm lying in my neighbors yard cursing like a sailor and in a pretty big amount of pain.

A bone in each hand.

[edit] Forgot I broke my nose playing football in High School, the only time I ever saw or heard blood "spurtting".

Two for me. I broke my right wrist when I got hit by a car while riding my bike. Then I broke my collar bone while messing around on one of those gas powered scooters. My friends and I were racing around barrels in a parking lot with the scooters, when the front wheel on my broke off while I was turning hard, and I went shoulder first into the pavement. That hurt.

I've never broken any either, which is not to say there have been times when I probably should have (bike riding like Isla). Also had someone quite hefty back in junior high football fall on my leg in an awkward manner.

My brother broke his arm once though. ;)

Fell off the bed and broke my arm when I was 10 months old
Assorted fingers and toes mostly in soccer and football.
Broke my ankle right before my senior year of HS playing ultimate.

All you nerds need to get out more, do more stupid stuff

I have only broken the tip of my finger. A rail from a pipe fence fell and smooshed my finger between it and a water pump.

None hear either. Sutures, dislocated shoulder, sprains, etc., but nothing broken. Hey, maybe Milk does the body good after all!

I've dislocated my patella several times :(

But I guess that's better than breaking a bone. :confused:

And if we include other people

Some guy from Olate East's ankle my freshman or sophomore year. That is why you lock your ankle when you kick.

I broke my collar bone playing football.
I think I broke my nose playing football but it seems to have healed on it's on.
I had a bone bruise (which is a small crack basically) on my shoulder from playing football.
I dislocated my thumb playing football.
I dislocated my pinky playing rugby. (this was just a friendly game, the rest were for my HS)
(the two dislocations were about the most hilarious looking things I've ever seen, they were just messed. It looked like I had fingers sticking out of the wrong place on my hand, I couldn't quit laughing)

Well, there's the history of my broken body.

Actually - now that I think about it, I broke my nose once when I was 6-7. Fell off of a fence (a good 8 feet up there) head first into concrete. It didn't hurt much, my face was pretty much too numb to feel anything :) My pantleg got caught on the top of a picket on the fence and I came slamming down head first - hahah

Can't believe I almost forgot about that :confused:
