Cliff Notes - Football Injury - Tore groin muscle completely off the bone, thought it healed, played football again, tore it off the bone again.  Fast forward - bone grew out to meet the muscle instead of the muscle going back into place.  I sprouted an extra bone about the size of a grape on my pelvis any running, cutting, jumping caused said bone to dig into the muscle.   Fast forward - Surgery - Cut open, extra bone chiseled  and vacuumed out muscle reattached.  Years later fine, but the orthopedic oncologist said it's the absolute closest a male will ever see to a C-Section.

My worst injury is probably breaking my leg in several places. Was involved in a scooter accident, got hit by a minivan.

Better safe than sorry.
Well you were sorry then.

So what is you're worst injury? I myself havn't had many injuries, except:


Cracking my skull on a radiator, twice.
Breaking little finger.
Tearing ligaments in foot.


If you can give us some detail how you did it, that would be great

In 1972 I turned a 1968 Pontiac Bonneville four-door sedan into a 1968 Pontiac Bonneville two-door convertible tricycle.

This feat of legerdemain was accomplished as the result of falling asleep on the highway and running underneath an old Ford two-and-a-half ton hay truck.

Shattered my nose, broke the cheekbone (Zygomatic arch), blinded in one eye from shards of my sunglasses, had over two hundred small stiches to sew my forehad skin back on, had about another 150 to seal up a laceration which ran from the front of the left side of my skull clear across the top and down to the base of my neck.

Not to mention the other minor facial cuts, bruises, aches and pains which resulted.

My face is slightly off kilter from the bone breakage and the insertion of various bits of plastic to replace powdered bones.

Too bad; it was a really nice car!

flipped over on a mountain bike going down a hill in SF (giant crack in the street, i was looking at the lights), went flying about  5 or so meters.

tore some tendon in my left shoulder, but i had to sacrifice the shoulder or else I would have no face right now.  just makes a weird click sound once in a while but after 1 year i was able to start doing push ups again.


luckily i did not crack my skull as i landed my head right on my left temple.  my vision in my left vision eye is a little blurry compared to that of the right.

I wonder how nobody noticed that the title is wrong.
Your worst injury?
Not you're.

And in '77 there was the somewhat hard landing of a '64 Maule survey plane in which I was a passenger but actually at the controls....................................................

We were pretty much uninjured except for back problems that continue to today but what really pissed us off was that we broke the damned plane!

One of these:

Damned thing had a stall speed of only 28 MPH and I managed to stall it out about 50 ft above the ground.

I noticed immediately, thank you.
These days highlighting bad grammar and spelling appears to be a condemnable offence in itself; however, the fact the OP repeats the mistake in the title and the post suggests this wasn't a simple slip.  It's a shame our beautiful language is so abused but symptomatic of so much...

I try my damdest to forget about injuries I've gotten while riding. I like to think instead of all the good times.

Breaking my leg several places at once takes the biscuit.

English is my 3rd language and I'm still trying to improve it and have have difficulty remembering some parts of the language. I have corrected the title, thanks for pointing it out. Although this was done a few months ago. I have now improved slightly (I hope).

Haha, I was wearing a helmet so I could've been a lot more sorry . The accident was the minivan's fault, so I ended up getting a nice amount of insurance money :p

How long did it take you to recover? Are you still riding? That would shake me up a little.

It took me about 4 months before I could walk again, and 6 to 7 months until I could run properly. I don't ride anymore, not because I'm scared or anything, just because I prefer a car now .

I can see the logic in that! Haha.

Busted knee from accidentally driving a 68-ton EMD locomotive in to the back of a parked line of flatbed wagons.  Disused line + weeds = no grip.   

A year later (just before the surgery for the knee) missed the last step on the stairs and sprained my ankle.  Sprained ankle on one leg, knee surgery on the other.     Oddly, the knee was better long before the ankle.

Fell from a big ass tree @ age 12 = Broken Knee + Dislocated Shoulder + broken wrist + bruises everywhere

Worst Christmas ever!!!

[LostDutchman]

And then there was the tall, blue-eyed blonde chick from Sweden...................................

I don't want to talk about it.

[MakeBelieve]

Actually, I've broken a few bones but now I come to think of it. My shoulder really did hurt when I broke it.

Sounds like it . How is your knee now? A broken knee sounds like a lot of recovery.

A broken knee is a pain in the ass. I spent nearly 2 month in rehab therapy , pain full as hell. But I didn't get to be 100% fine again. If the weather is too cold or humid, it starts to hurt, and mobility-wise I can't react as fast as I could.

It seems someone has their priorities mixed up.

The car and airplane are just objects.

You are fortunate to even be alive.

Did you learn anything at all from your experiences?

Peoples lives are more important than those objects.
