I'm an incredibly cautious person, I don't do anything risky so I don't get hurt! Lots of people climbed trees for example, while I'd just stare and say nervously "gosh that's pretty dangerous!", even as a child I always avoided danger if at all possible. Funnily enough, I still enjoy roller coasters.
I broke my hand when I tried to replace a light bulb. I broke various bones in my leg when I was sitting in a car and it ran me over.

Let's see. Broken bones... chronological with subsequent injury is how I believe I'll chart this. It'll be a wet dream for BoB. There's a massive chunk of injuries that aren't bone-related. Torn ACL and PCL, shredded tendons and lesser ligaments multiple times, torn rotator cuff, torn AC (my left shoulder sits an entire inch lower than my right shoulder), etc. There's also a large timespan in the teens where I didn't break any bones because I was fighting through paralysis and wasn't quite as active... still managed to screw my knees over when I was learning how to walk/run again though.
Yes, I did actually manage to break three wrists in one year.Code:YR | BONE(s) BROKEN ===|=============== 05 | Jaw; gravel embedded in chin; cycling accident 12 | Left forearm; bruised bone with microfracture; cycling accident 13 | Left knee; chipped kneecap; tripped up concrete stairs while running, shredded through layers of skin and muscle 14 | Spine; L4 & L5 vertebrae fusion with paralysis; falling from 12+ feet without landing properly 19 | Third finger, left hand; messy fracture at knuckle; cracked the skull of the kid that tried to rape my sister 22 | Fourth toe, right foot; compression fracture; stubbed into a corner 25 | Skull; fracture behind left ear; got mugged 25 | Nose; hairline fracture; see above 25 | First toe, right foot; broken at joint; see above 26 | Right wrist; messy fracture; slipped on plastic and cracked wrist on a shipping pallet 26 | Left thumb; messy fracture; head-on collision 26 | Left wrist; clean break; see above 26 | Left forearm; messy fracture; see above 26 | Left rib x3; clean breaks; see above 26 | Right wrist; clean break; I'm honestly struggling to remember how it happened the second time 27 | Skull; fracture in forehead; mugging attempt but subsequently beat the hell out of the assailant (he cried) 27 | First metatarsal, right foot; microfracture; rolled ankle while applying pressure to stand up 28 | First metatarsal, right foot; clean break; massive application of pressure, snapped behind previous injury
I just realized how depressing this list is... and that's just BONE-related injuries. Oy.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
You're not the first to suggest that.
Jesus, Loco!
I forgot, one time I flipped my big brother's 4 wheeler when I was 3. He showed me where the throttle was and I took off on it while waiting for him to give me a ride.
Then when I was 11/12, I flipped a kid sized 4 wheeler into a big patch of thorns.
I have fallen on my head so many times in my life it is ridiculous, somehow, I have never got brain damage or broken my neck. Thank you.
Just, how did you manage that BoB?!
I never broken any bones (thank god), the worst thing to ever happen to me was a twisted ankle. My foot slip in the bathtub and I ended up doing a slow splits that twisted it. By the time the doctor was finally ready to see me it was all better.
I twisted my ankle a few times after that, too.
I broke my right femur in two places when I was 26. I crossed a road whilst drunk at 3am trying to flag a cab down on the other side of the road. I didn't notice a cab coming the other way and it hit me around 40mph. Leg broke, shoulder dislodged, multiple cuts and bruises. It hit me on my thigh which is quite lucky as they're quite thick. If it hadn't been a black cab (which have raised bonnets) a normal car would have hit my knee and I probably wouldn't be walking. Off work for four months.
I've dislocated a toe or two but no other bones broken.
While I can't compare to a femur (that blows, by the way), I did break another bone this week! Add another toe to that chart. No big deal.

Only bone I broke was my toe. In two places. Tripping over a mattress. I have numerous other war stories that involve all many of horrible wounds but none quite stack up to Loco and his fragile body or, y'know, Iceglow getting run the smurf over. (and apparently bubba too geez guys)
EDIT: oh yeah Mae has reminded me of the broken spine. whoops. forgot about that.
Try not to forget about it too often. I like you better when you can, y'know, walk.
Man that is pretty bad! How did that happen?
My friend broke his spine years ago and he still has problems with his back today.
Ahahahahaha, of the two things I posted, I've never seen someone so quick to jump onto this one rather than the other.Just, how did you manage that BoB?!
I was changing a light bulb while standing on one of those chairs that has a kind of... slope to it, towards the back of the chair. You know, taller legs at the front and all that. Anyway, when I was taking the bulb out it was being awkward and suddenly it moved, and the suddenness of it made me adjust my feet slightly. One foot hit the back of the chair. Now, on a flat chair this could be bad but the amount of force wouldn't have toppled it. On this chair, it was just enough - the chair slowly and then very suddenly fell backwards, with me using my hand to break my fall. My finger was twisted out of shape because of this and there was quite a bit of swelling over time. But thankfully the swelling wasn't so soon or bad that I couldn't get back up and change that damned light bulb. I kept it as a souvenir for some time, actually. xD
Award Guy had to do the Ciddies that weekend. Funnily enough, he had broken his hand too. He managed to pull through, though, with 184 posts.
This is a photo of me or Award Guy back in 2004. I forget which, we're bizzarely identical.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
How do you manage to look different in every photo you take?
