What is the worst injury you have had?

What is the worst injury you have had?
I was accident prone when I was younger, so I have had alot of injuries I was curious to know about everyone else.

 

I burned myself with boiling water as a kid, but the scar is gone today. Fortunately I've never broken or fractured anything.

 

Yeah, I haven't broken anything done just about everything else though!!

 

Broken Arm
Fractured Clavicle
Hairline Fracture on one of my feet

currently nursing sore legs and a tweaked middle finger

 

Aww poor petty.

 

the bones healed up nice, but i'm pretty familiar with arm slings, casts and big lumps, from the blood flow to the damaged section of bone

not sure what's up with my middle finger tho

might be from the stress of weight lifting

 

Glad you're healing up nicely.

 

Broken fingers and arms as a wild kid tomboy. stitches needed on numerous occations for the same reason.
fast forward:
Shattered my ancle in five places while rock climbing.
tore all tendons and ligaments/broke my thumb while skydiving.

I do have some cool scars

 

Gee, you've had some bad luck!

 

Acctually, Im surprised its not more than that - so I consider myself lucky

 

looks like someone was a PLF no-go

:smt030

j/k

 

Nope, no PLF accident - I jump eliptical canopies (only had to do PLF's on reserve rides) - had a wild deployment where the risers caught my thumb right before the canopy inflated - that hurt like no business.
Question still remains: how do you know the PLF????:smt048

 

information age

you aren't the only egghead around here



Military and military history is one area that I like to research, for pleasure, and airborne training is something that I came across. And, as you can imagine, PLF technique is something that is covered extensively, to prevent unnecessary injuries.

late edit - I actually gave a speech com presentation on Urban Warfare - Room Clearing, if that helps you understand my train of thought

 

Dislocated pinky toe on my left foot.
Broken bone in my left foot.
Second degree burn on left ankle, but you wouldn't know it..
Stitches in my left knee.

Just call me lefty.

 

i spent most of my childhood with a plaster cast on my right leg so that limited my ability to get into mischeif
i have scars to my right temple after going head first thru a glass door as a toddler ( helped thru it by my older sister ) and scars to my right knee after a boating accident.
i also have scars on my arms from walking in to doors as i cant seem to judge the distance and tend to veer to one side

 

I think it was 2 things. One time I fell down the stairs at the age of maybe 12 and sprained my right ankle.
Then at age 17 I fell down the stairs when it was more icy then I expected.Made a sommersault and somehow my righ leg it the edge of a stair.There was a hole(not super big but big enough) and when I managed to get up the entire right side of my jeans below the knee was soaked with blood.
So I went to the doctor.The hole wasn't big enough to get sutured so I still kept a little scar from that.

And on october 8th,2007.I could have died easily.
I was in a car -on the passenger side- ,the driver was neither speeding nor under any kind of drug or alcohol influence,but some reflector lamps left and right on the street were missing and since it was dark he didn't see how sharp the coving was and he lost control over the car.It flipped twice,the airbags popped out,then the car started to catch fire right in front of my feet.It came to a hold but had fallen so that the right side of the car was down and left side up.Therefore I couldn't open the door.Also couldn't get out of the seatbelt. The car driver pulled me out and threw me in the grass together with 1 of my bags.When he tried to grab my 2nd bag it was already on fire.And it all happened very quick. Except for a shock,several bruises,wounds in my face and the after effect of still panicking quickly when being in a car I didn't have any injuries though,which is a little miracle.
Here's some photos of the car after the accident >>>>

 

Aber heute alles ok? Tut mir wirklich leid, shit, ich war wirklich erschrocken..

 

Ja heute ist alles physikalisch okay.Gerate nur leicht in Panik,wenn ich im Auto bin.Lol

(Today everything is physically fine.Just panicking easily when in a car)

 

Holy crash Be-you-tiful! You are so lucky to be here, that looks intense.

I've broken my pelvis in a ski jump (landing) mishap and the other semi-bad injury was dislocating my shoulder when I crashed my motorcycle (lesson learned - never do that again). Have had a few broken bones, sprains all that jazz but nothing as serious as that car crash, wow!

It's all good, I still ski and ride

 

It wasn't a nice experience I would want to make again(lol) but I think your ski jump and motorcycle accidents had a worse outcome injury-wise.
