I was climbing down a wooden ladder the other day at work and got a splinter under my thumb nail.

Don't know how I survived.

I once poured a kettle of freshly boiled water on my foot by accident (was distracted). Nice blistery burn. Nom.

I remember when I was a kid, and was building a den out of wood/chipboard, there was a piece of board with a nail sticking out of it (not the point, but the head). The head went into my leg, drew up an inch or so and pulled out. Left a nasty gash that was really deep, saw this layer of white in there. Never told my parents.

I caught my foreskin in my zip when I was about 10. I did briefly consider committing suicide to end the pain but luckily my Mum sorted it out before I had the chance.

I have got one single stitch scar on the side of my head.....my brother threw a wooden parrot perch at me when I was 8.

We had to clean it up as best we could so the parrot could have his perch back and get off the floor of the cage.

When I was 8 I was jumping on old mattress when I caught my leg onto one of the springs, it dug in and pulled just as I was going up Razz
Result: Scar covering half of my lower leg.

About year after that I got two scars from cutting my arm whilst swimming in the sea (caused by some chunk of metal).

That's about it. Oddly enough, I'm yet to break a bone Thinking

Ever since i saw some broken huge pieces of metal in the sea once, i am pretty cautious in the water. Confused

I can't say i've 'survived' any bad injuries, they weren't life threatening.

I once had my knee dislocated when a prick of a karate instructor sept my leg whilst holding my arm. I fell badly and quickly and i coudln't straighten the leg, it's never really been right after that. I HATE the guy, he's been a cu*t his whole life.

I hit a car doing 40+ on my 125 when i was 17, apparently i flipped in the air and shoes flew off. I had gravel rash knees but apart from that, not a lot else. Laughing

I hurt my knee dancing in a nightclub, twisted it all weird and it's been pretty fucked ever since. It's okay though, just feels like it comes out the socket and I have to stand on it and wiggle around to crack back into place, probably gonna come back to haunt me when i'm old

but that's it, never broken a thing and not for a lack of doing dumb shit, I used to skitch trucks on wet busy roads by sliding on my shoes holding onto the back

Snowboard accident, caught an edge going up a kicker, landed on my back, all the force went laterally and I fractured my femur head, left one half in the hip socket and the other half dislocated so my leg looked shorter than the other Sick .
They gave me so much morphine in the helicopter i apparently nearly slipped in to a coma.

ended up in traction for nearly 2 months and rehab took another 2 months. Was told there was a 30% chance I may not be able to walk properly again.

In hospital they drilled threw my leg to put a rod through that they attached the string and weight to for the traction. This got infected and some idiot junior doctor tried to unscrew it with no anesthetic. The bone had grown around the screw thread on the rod and as they unscrewed it i heard the screech of metal on bone and then the hit of the pain. Nearly passed out, the doctor got a severe bollocking from the ward nurses and they took it out under general

The worst thing apart from the obvious pain, was the time in traction, I was so bored i nearly lost the plot as I couldn't leave my bed in all that time.

Other than that just a few broken fingers and ribs from rugby and the usual dodgy old knees (still playing though!)

Pointless going thru adult injuries. My falling-off-bike exploits are nothing compared to some of you.

But off the top of my head, when I was a kid:

I put my arm through the wringer of the washing machine.
No major damage.

I carved the top of my middle-finger with one of those lino-carving tools. Some claret, small scar.

I used to wind my mum's dog up by taking his bone off him when he was eating it, hence I have several small scars on my hand (he was only a Maltese).

And I fell off the bed and cracked my head open when I was about 4 years old. My mum could probably still find the scar if she had a mind to.

When I was about 18 I was given a set of roller skates for my birthday. I had been a dab hand at it when I was a kid, used to beat everyone on the roundy roundies, but that was when I was about 9. Somehow I managed to get away with wearing them at work, and whilst rolling down a slight incline from one building to another I lost my bottle, and ended up rolling into a parked Mini. I can confirm that the bumpers on Minis are not all that low, really, in fact, they are approximately at the same height as the small dent which remains in my left leg to this day.

As a child I knelt on a drawing-pin which got stuck in my kneecap.

Oh yeah. And when I was about 8, I also fell off a top bunkbed, onto the floor, where there was scattered a collection of metal bottle-caps with Peanuts characters on the inside which I was collecting.

Made a bit of a mess of my face, that did Laughing

I must have been a bit of a nitwit, now I come to think of it.

To show off to my (younger) sisters, I used to climb out of one bedroom window and back in through the other (it seemed perilously high at the time, but when I grew up and went to have a look at the window as an adult, it was only about 10 feet off the ground) Laughing

... but somehow I never fell off there.

I've never broken anything, but I always used to wish I had so I could get my cast signed by all the other kids. Grew outta that.

Jumped off a wall backwards once, didn't leave enough clearance and caught my shin, scraped enough off to be able to see the bone Sick

Went over the handlebars of my pushbike, still got a scar on my elbow from that - probably because rather than take care of it my mum just wrapped it up in a tea towel and told me grandma would look after me tonight cos she was going out Shocked

Hit my head really hard (can't remember how now) and every time I pressed the bit I hit (in between my eyes), i got a pins and needles sensation right in he middle of my brain. Went away after a few months, was getting worried!

Last day of work in a bar, fell off the tiniest of step out the staff room, went over on my foot, had to go home early cos couldn't walk. Weeks later it was still black and blue, and even to this day (4 years on) it hurts if I kneel down on my legs with my feet underneath me Confused

I'd say I've been pretty lucky! Some crazy injuries I'm hearing from you guys, it's like a bunch of the raggy dolls!

Not a lot tbh, broken wrist, broken ribs and more than my fair share of paper cuts and stubbed toes.

My hands are quite scarred but the rest of me is currently intact. The odd bald patch on my head from scuffs + scrapes etc as a kid.

hit a soft bit of sand while sideways,
wheel dug in and snapped at the axle, causing the car to flip 7 times over 300 meters,

smashed my sholder, broke my hand in numerous places, and remained unconscious for 2 days,
luckily my passenger just got a small cut on his knee,
