Lets see, still to young to have any major things happen. but i have had many, MANY, incidents with knives and razor blades and my carelessness while cutting stuff. once i slid on my knee for about 3-4ft on sand when i lost control on my bike. but the one i remember the most is when i had some guys hold me down and pour boiling plastic on my arm. instant melted flesh and a scare that wont go away. i've also had two fajita plates spilled on me, one on my arm and one on my shoulder.

lets see i have nothing compared to you guys.. I've been in one accident where i wasn't wearing my seat belt in the passenger seat.. mom was driving.. (i swear to this date gurls still can't drive) and the car in front of us slammed its brakes.. we were doing bout 35 or so and my mom didn't see the car hit its brakes and we went straight into the back of it at full speed... i went thru the windshield and ended up not even having a bump on my head... the paramedics thought i would have had a concusion or something... but never did... you would think i would wear my seat belt now.. but i don't still stupid me... and then there was a time when i was laying shingles down with a pneumatic nail gun... and the saftey mechanism broke and i went to pull up on the gun and it fired and a nail went into my left arm on the elbow.. i didn't even notice it till i saw all the blood running down my arm... i went into shock.. i guess i can say i know how it feels to be shot... i have to get 20 stiches... thats bout it

most bike accidents have something to do with the size and performence of the bike, bikes can stop a whole hell of alot faster than cars (rearended), bikes get cut off because they are too small and hard to see. Not nessecarily the bikers fault but IS something they have to be aware of when risking their own life.

Driving a bike in inclimate weather and losing control is retardedness on the biker's part.

Hmmmm. 33 years has a way of lengthening the list.

Aside from minor stuff as a kid (stitches, fractures, skinned knees, etc).... Buried my 84 Interceptor into the side of a Buick at 45mph (guy pulled out RIGHT in front of me) - I stood up, cleared his roof and landed on the other side... Broke both wrists, one collarbone and had a compression fracture of my 4th vertebrae, mad road rash - Ground my jeans, longjohns, and undies clean away on my right hip and arsecheek. I still have pieces of asphalt working their way out to this day.

Laid my Radian down at 25 mph to avoid a 4-Runner sliding on wet pavement... Major road rash and a sprained wrist.

Knocked out my front tooth with a breaker bar working on our 4x4. Cried like a baby.

Broke 2 ribs at a karate tournament (vicious pain), then my first day back to instructors' class I took a vicious kick to the 'nads that cracked my cup and my left nut swelled up the size of an orange.... Agony & misery, especially when they put in the Novocaine shot. Cried like a baby again.

A broken nose, and this one's funny: I was "fooling around" with this girl I was dating, and tickling her - She reflexively nailed me with her elbow... Talk about pain... OMG.

The open heart surgery in 2001 you've all heard about, plus the tonsillectomy and vasectomy (ho-hum).

Recently broke my middle finger and dislocated my knee (softball), healing quite well.

Here's hoping this is where the list STOPS. :D

You are a freakin' corpse AZ. Are you held together with duct tape and rubber bands at this point? :puke

My worst injury was a broken collarbone when I was five, courtesy of a three-wheeled contraption called a "cheetah", a downhill speed exceeding 20 mph and a sharp right hand turn. It flipped over and crushed my collarbone against the concrete of my driveway. Spent six months in a brace, looking like Boris Karloff.

I've also had my head slammed in a car door, been struck in the face with a hockey puck, knee-on-knee collision at full run while playing football (no pads = torn ACL), belly flopped from a 25' high diving platform...and that's just what I remember from my sober moments.

Here's my worst injury. No bodily injuries to myself, just almost killed my car.

lol i've had so many injuries from various dumb *** things i've done...i was an inline "sk8er" at one time...lots of stories

one time i was biking down "my hill" the hill going down my block. and i tried to lean forward on my handle bars w/ my forearms, using no hands...lost control, hit the curb and went over my handlebars and down a small hill/ravine into the creek...it was hilarious, walked away w/ a few bumps and bruises...this was a bicycle...not motor cycle, and it occured at literally 14mph, i had a little bike speedo...

fell of a 12' high roof trying to jump off it w/ my skates on...fell flat on my face...had a nasty bruise/scrape on my face, both hands, sprained wrists...but i was fine the next day...5 days and only had small scrapes and bruises, wrists were fine...

broke my ankle playing bball...that is the only lingering injury i have...still flares up w/ the weather and when i run alot...but nothin too bad

rolled my go kart down a small hill when i tried to do a cool left-hand 180 turn...rolled over towards the passenger side, threw me downt he hill and then hit me...i was ok. just shocked, i just started it up and drove away...lol

"My car was a '65 Corvair. The 17yr old street racer was in a Cordoba, (big heavy car). Nailed me between the passenger door and front fender. Cops figured the kid got it SLOWED to 50 when he blew thru the red light. Speed limit was 25mph. We were airborne about 50' judging by the skid marks, then spun, skidded and recoiled off a high curb down the road. The bodywork wrapped around my date and pinned her. it took rescue workers awhile to get her out. "

my dad had his 61 monza corvair destroyed by a kid in a late 50s buick that blew thru at light at 50 in a 25 ...had to say that since it sounds exactly like your wreck

he was ejected from a 50s studebaker at like 45 mph when a pinto hit it (most studebakers didnt have seat belts) he slid on his back across a gravel parking lot for like 100 feet

had a ball jojnt brake on his racecar , went into a tire barrier at 120 mph

hit a another open wheel racecar and fliped end over end 4 times and barrel rolled like 6 times

had another open wheel car hit him , landed on his rollcage and he drove with him up there for like 120 feet

another formula car broke in front of him , he flipped 7 times end over end 2 time barrel rool laned in a lake, knocked out pinned in car broke all the blood vessles in his eyes and couldnt move for 2 days , i dug a fish out of the left side pod that night

then hes been run over by cars and stuff before he was driveng , hes had like 10 concussions

and you thought my luck stunk

I was watching the Animal Planet and they were discussing people who contracted parasites. There were some really heinous injures from these little things.

They showed on Chinese hospital removing a bubble of tapeworms from a person's lungs. It was the size of a dodge ball and it was filled with tapeworms.

They also showed a picture of this woman's brain that had visited Guatemala and contracted parasites from eating food. The Parasites were burrowed into her brain.

There you go http://in.news.yahoo.com/030624/43/25eim.html thats all bad...

As for me... my worst injury was a torn ACL playing tennis. I planted my foot, the bottom part of my leg stopped the upper part didnt. Wasnt pleasant but nothing compared to some of the stuff you guys have.

I have been lucky though... flipped my A4 and walked out without a scrape. If I wasnt wearing my seatbelt would have broken my neck...

The front wheel came off my bike and i did a faceplant onto a concret "car stopper thingy". Needless to say they got all my teeth back in and i dont remember a darn thing about how things happend for that day. The hospital drugs were good until they wore off. Ever see a kid with a bloodied face and no teeth laugh while lying on a hospital bed? Well that was me :icon18
