    5 fractured verterbrae, 7 broken ribs, punchtured lung, ruptured spleen, slightly torn bowel, fractuerd both shoulder blades, titanium hip, 9 titanium screws in the hip too, fracturd tibula and fibula, bleeding and bruising on rear right of my brain.

    left arm no longer works and left leg works but is pretty limited in movements and speed of movements all due to brain injury, back is just a nightmare

    Dislocated back from a spear tackle playing footy.
    Broken shoulderblade, collarbone,3 ribs and a torn ac ligament. (All at once) got jumped on and my left shoulder went under my chin and touched my right shoulder.
    Broken glass went thru my right foot and severed 3 tendons so I can't move my middle 3 toes anymore.
    Broken my left foot twice..
    Fair to say I hate it when its cold!

    Nearly severed my wrist on an industrial foam cutting machine, broken tibula and fibula in left leg (along with multiple fractures in ankle), broken my left little finger nine or more times (have lost count), broken radius, broken neck (c5,c6,t1) three bulging discs, compression inbetween l4 and l5. Neurosurgeon and orthapedic surgeon both agree they have seen 80 year olds in better condition and the fact that I am alive (and walking!!!!!) is amazing.

    I've had various cuts and bruises, but the most memorable are probably:

    -cut my knee on a shard of glass down to the cap/bone/whatever your kneecap is.
    -Dislocated my wrist while propping myself up on my bed reading a book lol.
    -Dislocated my collar bone getting shoved doing weights (Doing shrugs).
    -Cracked my head open (12 stitches) by trying to backflip into our old pool, and smacking my head on the side of the pool.
    -Spiral fracture of my little toe by getting off the couch to check the mail & catching it on the coffee table lol.
    -Stepped on a screw which went through my foot, with a wooden plank on the end, while trying to bend what I thought was a nail.
    -Brother threw a dart at me while I was getting my darts off the board & it stuck in my arm.
    -Black eye for 3 weeks after being elbowed in the face while playing footy at school.
    -Lightly Tore / heavy strained muscles in my back after lifting 50 25kg bags of salt off a truck.

    Umm, I think that's it really.

    I scratched my finger once :p.


    All my weight once from 3 foot onto the side of a housing slab done my ankle in.

    Both knees have acl strains right worse doing plenty of recovery on that.

    Left knee strained lcl. building strength up on this also.

    Both shoulders continue to dog me, have injections in them yearly.

    Broken nose.

    Broke just about every finger at some stage, some football some bike accident.

    scheuermann's disease.

    Scar on my knee where I fell off my bike when I was trying to do tricks
    Scar on my foot where my brother dropped a axe on me. (stitches)
    and scar on my hand where I tried catching a machete.

    Pretty mild compared to some of you haha.

    Cricket bat to the face, nose came off second best.

    Fell of a semi-trailer onto compacted dirt with straight legs at the farm.. back hasn't been quite the same since.

    Was thrown up into the air by a motorbike(about 3 foot), but luckily the foot peg broke my fall. Never thought my knee cap looked like that. Still creaks and cracks when walking haha

    And probably the latest memorable thing to happen was landing(was 101kg than) on a 3 inch 87 year old nail through a piece of flooring from about 1.7m off the ground. I remember looking down at it, thinking what am I going to do.. long story short, took a few good tugs(standing up, other foot on the board and pulling up with the impaled foot) to get it off, mainly because the nail had hit the bone.

    broke left arm in half falling off some play equipment.
    broke right arm in half misjudged a flip off the trampoline.
    broke my pinkie 'catching' a vortex.
    broke my right thumb twice forget how though i think i was rough housing at school on both occasions.
    broke my left foot wrestling in the lounge room.
    chopped my left hand middle finger to the bone on sharp metal i tried to grab.
    slipped a disk (L5) in a work related lifting injury causing sciatica and pain every day.
    after sprinting around and running i get a swollen right knee for a few days, this happens almost weekly and i have no clue what it is but it hurts and i cannot put pressure on it.
    on monday i gave myself a black eye by trying for too many muscle ups at the gym then having my left arm give and fell onto my left knuckle, felt quite the fool indeed...

    Handful of scars from motorbikes and pushbikes nothing too bad,
    Recently for no good reason I got hit with bell's palsy really freaked me out, could not use half my face for a couple of weeks and still recovering.

    BTW after reading through this thread it seems motorbikes should be avoided at all cost.
