My friend once had a problem with his nut. I let him use my tool and he has yet to let it go. ---

Canā€™t remember what age exactly, but I hit a parked car while riding my bike. For some brilliant reason right after turning onto my street I decided to admire my pedaling and proceeded to ride straight through a little Geo Trackerā€™s side view mirror. Drilled the mirror straight off the car and had some decent cuts across my forearm. Even worse was the owner happened to be a paper route customer of mine. Needless to say, they had free news for a while after that. Outside of that, probably the worst injury I have had was dislocating my shoulder while playing hockey. Not sure if this really counts, but in attempting to make a sprawling rebound save, I literally threw my arm taking my shoulder right out of the socket. Cannot throw a baseball or football properly anymore, or have much luck with any type of overhand throwing motion. ---

> [@Mike93](#): > > Circular saw blade ripping the shit out of my foot. > > 16 years old, clearing land where my parents were building a cabin. The tool was essentially a weed wacker on steroids, with a circular saw at the base to cut down small trees just a few inches from the ground. I got too low, allowing the blade to grab some ground and kick back on me where it took a dive into my foot right below the ankle. Tore up all the muscle, chipped the ankle bone, and came a hair away from tendons / ligaments that if hit would have most likely been severed to a point of all but killing any chance of recovery. > > In a cast for a few months, then about 6 months of hobbling around in a boot, then a few years of recovery. Best part was just when things were feeling healed Iā€™d hit the basketball court and jump a little too aggressively and tear some muscle. Worst pain Iā€™ve ever felt. Age 18 I had fully healed. To this day I have no feeling around my ankle, and a hell of a scar 100 times cooler than any tattoo. I have seen those before at auctions, I was wondering what they wereā€¦thatā€™s rough! I ran my thumb through a table sander when I was 18. I was foolishly wearing gloves to debur 6" piece of metal, glove got snagged and pulled between the disc and the table. I had to pull it out against the rotation. Took nail and ā€œ15% of boneā€ according to Workers Comp calculations. Somehow missed ligaments and such. It still hurts like a B when its cold.

Ok nyspeed doctors, I injured my ribs a week and a half ago and they still hurt pretty bad. My family has told me to go to a doctor but I am convinced they do nothing worthwhile for rib injuries. Donā€™t they just wrap you in an Ace bandage? Sneezing, yawning, coughing, burping, and laughing really hurt when your ribs are fuxored but trying to sleep is the worst if you toss and turn. ---

After falling from 2000 feet, I deployed a parachute that was open for slightly over one second. I had serious tears in both ankles, fractured my tibia, broke a rib and chipped a few teeth (with my knees). ---

I bit about a half inch of my tongue mostly off when I was a kid. ~90% severed, surgically reattached. That was probably the worst looking injury. > [@Blue Eyed Devil](#): > > Most of you guys are too young to know what your worst injury was yet. Just wait, you will start feeling those injuries again. I abused my body for about 35 years and now all of a sudden the pain is coming back. Just wait. šŸ˜‰ This is true. The worst was probably playing football. 20 years later and theyā€™re all coming back. My neck and back are fucked. This getting old shit sucks. ---

I donā€™t think they wrap them anymore because it causes the ribs to heal when theyā€™re compressed. Last I heard youā€™re supposed to do deep breathing exercises so make sure the ribas heal in their correct position. Although take that with a grain of salt because I heard it from an X-Ray tech not a doctor. ---

It was almost pitch dark and my depth perception was off. Yeah it was a closie. No more super dark jumps where visual perception dictates pitch time. Nope. I actually didnā€™t even know how close to the ground I was. Part of the reason I didnā€™t get more hurt is because I was completely relaxed. I didnā€™t know how close the ground was until my knees hit me in the face. ---
