nothin's happened to me, but my bro ripped his ACL in an accident (don't know if i should say where)

[bug]

Well, I broke my rist but it didn't hert so bad. I broke it playing soccer. We were playing on grass and then I fogut who missed a pass but I ran after the ball. It was ok untill the ball rolled over to the gravel and the ball must have hit a rock or something cause it was going in a good speed but then just stoped. I was right next to it and when it stoped I quickly turned and sliped. I used my hand to prevent my self from falling but it backfired and I broke my rist.

I had a minor concussion once, but that's about it. I tend to think before I act, that's probably kept me from hurting myself more than once.

[Lucidian Dyne]

A car hit me in the face once. o_O That was an awesome reason for two scars. I've still got pieces of glass embedded in my forehead.

Yeah, life is good.

I had an accident with my dog and a puddle of water in the kitchen, My dog got in the way while i was washing some dishes, i don't know how, but i stepped back, slipped, and as i Slipped, there was a knife pointing straight from the wall (not on the wall), and went right through my hand. a 14 inch knife through my left hand. . . .

It's not as bad as you would think but about 7 years ago I got hit by a car. Serves me right for J-walking XD I was starting to walk and a car came around the corner and knocked me back like 5 feet. I had a bruised/bloody chest. Nothing too serious

my bro broke both of his caler bones.

Hmmm...I had gotten hurt alot of times. I remember one day when I was below 9 years-old, I was riding my bike down the steep hill. Unfortunately...Since the bike was quite new for me, I really didnt know where the brakes were. I was going down the hill in full speed when suddenly after a looong time I found the brakes. As soon as I pressed the brake I saw something white flash before my eyes and then.....

I've had a pretty rough motorcycle accident. I came out, miraculously, without any broken bones, but I gots some horrible road rash. It was painful to sleep, because any way I lay down, I was on the rash *shudders*. I learned a lot about the importance of safety on my bike, though, so all in all it was a valuable experience.

Nope, I've never gotten in a wreck. Almost did once though; this old woman once nearly hit me when I was driving out of a parking lot. She wasn't looking; I was about fifteen, and driving in town for the first time.

And that's why I think most old people shouldn't drive. Some can manage, but most are horrible behind the wheel.

Maybe it would be more reasonable for the elderly to be tested more often? My grandpa drove until he was 80, when his sight began to diminish, and he never got into an accident. If an elderly person is capable of driving safely, I think they should be allowed. I think that after a certain age they should simply be watched more closely to make sure they're still driving safely.

(Sorry for the off-topic post >_<)

Uh...his knee? o.O

Anyway, I've never had anything major happen. Broken my arm and more recently my foot...but otherwise its been a series of sprains, bumps, bruises, cuts, stings, bites, etc.

I know plenty of people who'd qualify, though. Two were in car accidents that left them permanently disabled, another has a metal plate and a dozen screws in his knee, another just had her foot amputated...and so on and so forth. I figure if it's something the body can make a complete recovery from with minimal traces, it doesn't count as "major."

I fell down several flights of stairs.

[bug]

I just remembered something that happend to me a long time ago. It was nothing to bad, but it was terrifying. Also, I was little so I thought of something that had a realy low chance of happeing. Anyway, once, me and my sister were just running around and playing. However, she got on a couch and kicked me in the eye. See, it didn't realy hert to bad, but my eye went in. My eye almost completly went in my head. It took only a few minutes to recover though and I didn't need a hospital or anything. It still was scary. Back then, I thought that my eye would completly go in my head and I'll have one eye seeing the world and one eye seeing inside of me.

The worst thing that happened to me happened in a Kayaking trip. I was going down the Ocoee river, through a shallow rapid near the end in my Jackson 4 playboating Kayak (I doubt anyone will know what that is.) I bailed and my leg got caught onto a rock. I was able to pull myself out, though it riped a huge chunk of skin off from my leg.

I one time jumped off my bed landed on my chin with my tongue out and my tongue almost came off.

I recently fell of a 30ft wall into the sea. ;_; I was walking home with my boyfriend after a night out and I sat on the wall on the promenade to catch my breath. I managed to lose my balance and fell. It was really quite scary (it was 3am and the sea was pretty rough)

I was stood on a small ledge clinging to the wall waiting for someone to rescue me. Eventually the emergency services arrived, but for half an hour I was screaming obscenities at the sea, freezing my butt off, worried if I let go of the wall I'd be swept off.

I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance where I proceded to sweet talk a hunky doctor while Rob scowled onward.

That night wasn't one of my finest moments. ^^;;

[Master Wu]

Landed on my face in the street when i was eleven.

[youknowwho]

I hit my foot with a glass mug.A felt I was dying after I was cleaning the blood out.
Yet,I got a cool scar!

I broke my collar bone in a 3 bike wreck

[Plaidbutterfly]

I have a history of breaking bones in unspectacular ways, starting with breaking my collarbone at about 4 months old XD (the teeny tiny cast is adorable).

Recently though, not quite an -accident-, but for the last half of last schoolyear I thought I had carpal tunnel and had to do all of the writing for my 3 AP tests left-handed (just peachy!). After 4 months of runaround from doctor to doctor they figured out it wasn't carpal tunnel at all, even though I was displaying classic symptoms... instead it was a bone spur growing in the middle of my wrist. :3 eep! Thankfully a little physical therapy took care of it and I'm fine now; any time I get to avoid surgery is a-ok with me ;P

[Acnologia]

No, I always used to sprain my left wrist in soccer however.
