I've had two head injuries, one caused by a large, flat rock dropped onto my head, the other by a flying pot aimed at my brother.

Aside from that, just multiple cuts, scrapes and bruises.

Oh, I also electrocuted myself once. Stuck a key into an outlet. Heard I flew across the room.

In my younger days i played rugby and was also a kickboxer this has lead to many injuries.

From the Rugby i have broken 4 ribs, both arms, my leg, and suffered numerous concussions.

From kick boxing i snapped every ligament in my right knee and even through that was a good few years ago it's still not properly healed and i can't play Rugby any more.

Also when i was younger i suffered to many kicks to the balls one of them started to rise out of my sack and up towards my belly. I still have the scars on my lower stomach and ball bag to prove it.

Got my right cheekbone broken in a mosh pit, thought it was a bruise until about a month later when I realised I had a dent in my face.
Broke my right pinky knuckle punching a table in a fit of rage.
Three deep cuts requiring stitches over the past twenty years.
Several burns working in a kitchen.
Got blood poisoning from a scrape on my palm.

I try to stay away from situations I consider risky, so I don't get hurt much. However, when I was vacationing in Canada, I fell off of some rocks and broke my arm.

The only injury I got from playing rugby was a broken nose.
Damn thing is still crooked.

Also, while whitling a stick, my Swiss Army knife slammed shut on my finger. Cut right to the bone. I only noticed when my finger was all covered with blood. Felt no pain.

I've cut the rest of my hands several times with X-Acto knives as well.

Once burned my arm on a pot that had boiling soup. Reached over to turn it off, arm touched the lid, got second degree burns.

Then the odd assortment of scrapes from biking, rollerblading, etc...

Flipped off my bike some years ago and got a bad concussion, dislocated shoulder, 2 damaged discs in my neck, broken pinky finger, 3 cracked ribs, chipped teeth, and when I came to I was lying in a pool of my own blood. I still get dizzy spells sometimes when I stand up too fast as a result of that concussion. Everything's healed up fine except for my neck and head injuries, if I get hit in the head again I'll likely be legally retarded.

Other notable stuff

Hyper-extended my knee
Cracked a bone in my wrist
Got stabbed through my hand with an art x-acto knife
Had a lit sparkler thrown on my arm by my friend's psycho kid sister
Got hit in the nuts by a pool ball at a bar when some dork whacked the ball right off the table.

[Nelson] Ha Ha! [Nelson]

When I was seven years old, I was a Brownie (the thing you are when you're still too young to be a Girl Scout), and we were having a picnic and (this is so going to come across the wrong way, but remember I was SEVEN). Anyway, I was dancing on one of the picnic tables, and some bitchy girl got mad at me and pushed me off the table. I landed badly and broke my collarbone, which hurt like FUCK for about a month--every time I breathed! Ouch. Had a back brace I had to sleep in and everything.

[after-school special] See, kids? It doesn't pay to table-dance! [/special]

I'll bet if you table danced now nobody on this board would push you off.

Here's mine:

http://h4h.com/louis/jpgs/ouch.jpg

Old battleaxe in a Chevy Lumina ran a red light and T-boned my '77 Chevy 3/4 ton van on Xmas day, 1999. Flipped the bastard on its side. After being thrown from the driver's seat, my head was sandwiched between a floor jack I had in the back and a spare tire and rim.

I was out cold for about 10 minutes, suffered some memory loss, and have a permanent gray area in the vision of my right eye.

Old people should drive walkers, not cars.

My injury was not so spectacular as it was unusual. When I was nine, I caught my arm in a closing drawbridge (trying to catch a paper Christmas chain that the wind had caught) and nearly twisted it off of my shoulder. The scar remains to this day.

My bike fucked up while riding back from a session mountain biking (I won't crash doing stupid shit, I'll crash on flat, straight, paved road).

Gears locked up and sent me over the handlebars, but my feet were still in the clips. So the bike comes with me to an extent. I was going pretty fucking fast and so when I hit the ground I skid for about 4 or 5 metres.

My right knee was down to the bone, there was blood and all the rest everywhere from other cuts and grazes. I was in pretty heavy shock (I think I may have nailed my head as well) and was lucky that someone recognised me lying on the side of the road still tangled in my bike and drove me back to my place.

I was hit by a rolling car that nocked me down and then ran me over.

Oh, I'm sure there are a couple. I can think of one or two off the top of my head, actually...

But thanks, that's sweet of you, darlin'. *kisses cheek*

Worst in terms of physical damage:
The time I was in science class in seventh grade, learning about mirrors. While holding one, I trip on a table leg. Thankfully, Rescue 911 had taught me to apply pressure

Craked my head open after falling about 10 ft while abseiling (not really while abseiling, but it's a long story).

Had some hatfucker drop a medicine ball on my back while i was picking stuff up in the gym store room. Further compunded by having a 16+ stone rugby trainer fall on top of me and failing to do a somersault over a vaulting horse NOT realising some twat had moved the crash mat!

Probably had my hearing damaged by my mums constant bitching!

I've only gotten superficial injuries so far. I got hit by a car in 7th grade and all I got was a little scar on my toe. I didn't even notice I was hurt until I got home. The scar was even smaller than the one I got spilling boiling water on my hand years ago.

Broke my nose playing rugby, otherwise I have been very lucky avoiding injuries.
*Knocks wood*

Um, where to start?

I'll just list the major ones
Broken Back (L4 and L5 damaged plus adjacent discs), Tendons and ligaments in right forearm seriously ripped to shit, Right kneecap destroyed and Lower end of Femur damaged, Broken Collarbone, Broken Ribs, Dislocated Shoulder, Broken Fingers, Knife through Left hand, Broken lower mandible, Fractured skull, Hundreds of Contact burn marks from laying on or being hit by ejected cartridges, Crushed left big toe and 3 molars knocked out. That's all from the Army.

Add to that Rugby injuries - Bruised ribs, Broken Ribs, Broken Collarbone (again), Broken humerus, Concussions, right foot almost twisted off (fuckwit PropForwards). And lastly the numerous bumps and scrapes from Mountian biking... oh and a really painful papercut from reading.

Was taking a casual ride through the neighborhood on my bike, didn't notice some ragamuffins had stuck a skateboard ramp in the middle of the street at the bottom of a hill. Noticed it just in time to panic and hit the brakes, assuring that I wouldn't make the jump. Landed right on my chin, cut that open, sprained my wrist, scrapes all over my arm, knee, and face, bike almost lands on top of me. God damn was I furious when I cleared the fog out of my head.

Also, I've broken both little toes by stubbing them on hard objects. Both times, my family laughed at me. I'll remember that when it comes time to pick out a nursing home for them.

I defintely get more affection on this board than I do in real life. And now, watch me enter "aw shucks" mode.

The only injury I've managed to avoid, my nose refuses to break, it just gets wider and more battered looking.

Nice. And where did you happen to play? Flanker?

I've broken 7 of my fingers (some repeatedly) playing hockey and in other circumstances. Now broken fingers hardly worry me, yes they hurt, but I've gotten good and wrenching them back into place.

Yeah, I think it's a primary rule of the Universe, that anyone who uses a Mountain Bike for any period of time Must lose large pieces of skin from their legs at some point.

Left Wing, I took advantage of a dummy pass to go straight through the centre of the line, I made it through for about 5m before the Fly-half took me down in a flying tackle, while I was down a Neaderthal grabbed my foot and twisted himself round on the floor as he held it under the crush and ripped the ligaments to shreds with the right foot pointing almost striaght back... my last Rugby game for a year.

Field hockey?

Oh, burns? I forgot about the really nice 2nd degree burn I got all up and down my left arm when I was 16. I was cooking those lil sizzler breakfast sausage thingies in their own grease, and one of the little shits flipped out of the wrapper and belly-flopped into the pan, splattering searing, boiling grease everywhere. My arm was right next to the pan so it took the brunt of molten grease. I didn't go see a doctor, but i don't have any scars at all from it.. I got lucky.

EDIT: Fucking typo!

*puts typo in cage and lowers it into a vat of boiling motor oil, burning it alive*

When I was 11, I was riding my bike by the creek in which my parent's house backs on to. I turned my head a split second to look back for my friend when I struck a rock and was sent flying. I landed on my right arm and snapped my ulna in two, literally! What was disgusting was that the skin was holding the bone in place but you could see it portruding. If the skin had split I would have had a nice compound fracture.
