    climbing a tree when I was a kid

    fell off landed on a spiked wooden fence. one went straight through my side , if it hadn't been rotten and broke god knows what would have happened, still remember staggering into our kitchen with this orange stuff (as I remember it) hanging out of the hole in my side and my mum rushing me up to the hospital. Still sends a shiver through me when I think about it after all these years

    Snapped my achilles tendon playing football. Heard a bang even though nobody near me. Thought to myself what was that and why am I on the floor? 8 weeks in plaster. End of career!

    broke my wrist saving a penalty with my thumb.

    broke my color bone being a stunt arse on my bmx. spent four days wondering around like Larry Grayson before going to hospital.

    had my knee bent the wrong way - ouch.

    nothing spectacular, but the number of times I've been knocked out playing football means I'm probably not playing with a full deck anymore! worst was being kneed in the side of the head. (at least I saved the shot!) after scaring the life out of my mate who did it, I sat up, had a rest then decided playing in defence was good idea - until I headed the ball and collapsed. doh. spent the next three days feeling drunk and giggling. should have gone to hospital really, still, cheaper than paying for ale!

    As someone I played with commented

    "I've seen better goalies, but none braver"

    (Actually he "none dafter" but braver sounds better);)

    By 24 I'd had to have three knee operations mainly due to football, but the last one was caused when I was travelling.

    Got pissed up and went running into the sea on Fraser Island stark b0llock naked, and after about 30 seconds a wave hit me smack on the side of my knee and took the cartilage clean out, 5 weeks into a 12 week trip.

    Couldn't walk for a week, couldn't fully straighten & properly take full body weight on that leg until I'd had the operation 4 months after the event & until the cartilage was fully removed. Reyt laugh.

    I lost the chip off my shoulder a while back. Thankfully, another one grew back to match the one on my other shoulder!

    As yet, I don't think I've ever had a single injury (other than grazing my elbow/hand in usual kid falling over style). I'm scared of most things though (incase I get hurt), so I haven't done anything daring enough to get injured. My philosophy is 'if it's risky, don't do it'. Yeah, I know that sounds incredibly boring, but it makes me happy :)

    Have accidentally broken a guy's banjo though (it is was one of you who mentioned it above, I'm not sorry you cheating b**tard).

    Knee ligament damage - just collapsed when I was running for the ball. That was when I was 18 - not been the same since.

    I went quad biking on a stag do in Newcastle. I somehow managed to come off and broke my leg and also tore my ACL. I walked around on it for four days 'cause in nails.

    I also broke my cheekbone once but funnily enough it didn't hurt too much.

    So in summary we're a sensible group of people

    apart from JamDrop who can only be described as a reckless thrillseeker who mutilates men for apparently no reason.
