This can be an interesting topic to discuss! What are some of the worst, most interesting or totally random injuries you or someone you know has had :P
I Once dived into a river (stupidly) without a shirt and hit a spiky log which cut my torso quite badly :P
My brother has also broke his hand by crashing into a rock on one of our quad-bikes at about 30 km/h
And... my cousins friend was being too reckless on a motorbike and manages to crash and dislocate his finger. Ordinarily this wouldn't be that interesting BUUUUUUUT I went over to him, and he grabbed his finger (bending in the wrong direction) and literally pulled it back into place until there was a massive SNAP and his finger was fixed! I was like HOLY CRAP! XD

Once I hit the table with my face and had a small bruise under my right eye
I played tag with my friends, slipped on the wet grass when i mad a curve and broke my right arm. My mother came in the same minute to pick me and my brother up so we could drive the first time to the soccer-stadium...
I didn't notice it first, because it didn't hurt. No one believed it.. oO I just couldn't move my arm, my fingers and it was slightly deformed. My mother said it gave a cracking sound
So we drove to the hospital first, where I had to stay for a night. I was 11 at that time.
I never saw a soccer game in a stadium yet xD
When I was 17 (if I remeber right), our school grade trained for the sport event outside. Our group trained on the cinder pitch sprinting. So.. my weight didn't allowed me to run as fast as i wanted to, so I hit the ground <_<
The cinder is really sharp, so I looked like that: left shin full of scretches, both knees had a wound and my hands had a few scratches.
You can still see where the wound at the right knee was, it can change between red and pale colors. And there are still 2 dark scratches at my left knee. Maybe there it still dirt in it, don't know.
My teachers refused to desinfect my wounds because I wasn't 18. They said they weren't allowed to... Had to stay for the last 2 lessons and had a math test on the next day, where i came to late because I couldn't walk. The night before was horrible, couldn't sleep because of pain -.-
A piece of glass gave a deeper cut during my apprenticeship. And i got some other small cuts, but that's normal if you work with sharp glass xD
-
Well, guess I might as well post this since this topic was my fault xD
Last night, actually, I was playing ultimate frisbee with a bunch of friends. Around the lawn where we play, there is a squarely-porportionedl brick pathway the denotes the endzones and half-field. Around the entire thing, there are these black chain link fences. They have only one big, black chain, around waist height, and are only there for decoration, but the chain in real enough. Also, there are two depressions in the ground where the manholes are for the sewers. One placed in the northeastern corner, and one in the southwestern corner.
During the game, I got injured and had to sit out a few seconds a couple of times. First, I tripped over someone and landed left knee first on the brick. Bruised my knee, and it kind of hurt to walk on it. Then, later, I was chasing the frisbee down for another point-winning catch when I ran across the manhole. It tripped me up, since they are sudden, 6-inch depressions, and again, I tripped onto the brick and smashed my knee again. I continue playing, though my knee is hurting, so I try to stay back for the hail-mary throws. Well, my teammates like me, and they threw it too me again. They just chunked it, expecting me to catch it xD Well, it thought I could, so I ran as fast as I could back, since it had sailed over my head. I had almost reached it when I looked where i was going. I yelled out a curse and ran full speed into that dang chain link. It bent me over double and then threw me back from the momentum. It was Right at my waist, too. I had to sit down for a bit, since that one really hurt.
We play for a few more points before heading back inside. I go directly to the bathroom, since i hadn't even looked at my knee to see how bad it was. My entire kneecap is bruised purple. Then I checked my waist. The chain actually tore skin because I hit it so hard. I now have a big, blotchy, and partially bloody bruise of a line across my waist. And I might add...
It went pretty low D:
-
Injuries I've had? Well, my most traumatic to date was stepping on my knife. Just sharpened it, dog knocked it to the floor (which I didn't notice as I was in the other room) walked in barefoot and suddenly I had two halves of my foot (right through the arch). Blood EVERYWHERE. You'd have thought it was a headwound xD
-
My worst has been when I was attacked by a greyhound. The dog took a decent-sized chunk out of my side.
-
^ nasty. My cousin has marks/scars on his face from when he was bitten by a dog when he was about 6.
-
Probably my motorcycle accident....Hit some gravel going into a corner and my rear end lost grip and I went down...this was also at about 80Kmph....and I slid for a good 30-60ft on my butt...my riding jacket and leather gloves took most the force. Surprisingly I never hit my head against the pavement. I got up and walked away from it...though my bike was sorta fooked afterwards....bent handlebars, busted front fender, dented gas tank, bent gear shifter....and it wouldn't start after.
yet, I've never had such a serious crash on my mountain bike.....and I've been mountain biking for 7+ years (AM/XC style)
I've never really had any bad crashes on a mountain bike that damaged my bike....other then a flat tire....which I had landed a jump flat on both wheels...
-
Never had a serious injury, but my little brother passed out in the shower once! had to get six staples! X3
-
I cannot remember any specific injuries, but I do have scars littering my body from various things...
umm...I think the worst accident I had was when I fell out of a tree a good few years ago..I smashed my head and had to have stitches...
I have never broken a bone, despite being incredibly clumsy and ditzy...
which I consider some small miracle..
-
i can't remember all the time i got hurt. I do know one my worst is my ankle broken in 3 different places from skate boarding. Man had get pins plats and was in case for most of the summer. Funny thing about it all i never really felt any pain when i broke it and after the surgey.
-
I can't talk about my more recent hospital stays, but when I was a child I fell off a chair and bit my tounge in half, almost bit it off, it was hanging, fought the doc the whole time he tried to sew it back on. Gross, weird I don't remember.
I've never broken a bone or sprained anything : /
Had my tonsils out because I used to get flu a lot.
-
man, you guys pretty much all have me beaten xD
the *worst* thing that's happened to me (not to say I haven't done some stupid stuff, just lucky I guess):
while rockclimbing in a large YMCA about 2 years ago, I was about 6 feet up on the wall-jumped off onto the padded surface, but...my right foot fell into a depression that went straight through to the floor. The landing, combined with the difference in height of my two feet...I heard a pop, and well..pretty much pain after that...found out later I had either ripped or severely stretched my tendons in the foot. I couldnt walk properly for about 4 weeks. (had an ankle brace-I used a cane for about a week xD)
Not too bad. Now at least I have a semi crazy story to tell :P
I'll tell you what though, there was one thing I hated more than that^^, and it was the frikkin therapy afterwards. I stopped going after the second appointment. The injury had me going "ahhhhhhhh" with no tears, but the therapy...that had me tearing up xD
I'm ashamed to admit this next one, because I did it...but...my brother and I were playing in a pool (one of those quick-up, fill with the hose ones) when I was about 8, and I had bat...and a football...I tried to whack the football with the bat, I dont remember how exactly it happened, but I ended up whacking my brother in the face with the bat.....god I still remember that day...bad day....he was fine though. Nothing resulted from it other than some stitches underneath his eye. and him being a total dunce ;) seriously though...I still get nightmares about that one.
-
Ouch, aw, we all do stupid things sometimes. I remember me and my brother were fighting and I slipped and hit my head on the side of a coffee table, hurt like hell haha XD
-
All you guys have interesting stories behind your injuries but mine are all fairly mundane or I was unconcious and therefore can't remember exactly what happened. :?
-
I have another story there.
One my friends turned drinking age and we held party at his house for him and another friend b-day.
Well I was jumping the fire pit as they tossed gasoline on it well I slipped and fall into the fire pit on top of all the logges and rolled out of the fire pit unharmed. Except the I broke padio brick with my forehead and small cut on my left hand. The cut was so deep that it cut thought the musical and nick the artiy in my hand. Hand to get 5 stitches.
Still was awesome night XD
-
Still was awesome night XD
You know its been a good party when someone needs medical attention! :D
-
Yes vary XD
-
I've been hit in the head with: A rusty shovel, a thigh bone, a pipe, a bat, lots of bbs, and a lot more. I was bitten by a cat in the middle of wallmart that gave me a nasty puncture wound on my hand, I've accidentally cut open my left finger and right pinky, as well as recently a compound bow's firing string snapped, which hurt my hand.
-
on two ocations i have been attacked by a cupboard
the first time resulted lots of blood and a rubber glove stuck to my head
the second was not so bad though :P
thinging about it i have also been attacked by a tea table wich also resulted in lots of blood and a trip to the doctor
i'll keep you all posted though... i've just taken up skateboarding :P

I'm sure you know the extensive wrath of brotherly fights.(I would hope so :( ) I angered him about... I don't remember exactly what. He hit me upon the head with a thigh bone from a deer(LONG dead BTW) and from that I was lucky to have no stitches. I'm suprised you diddn't ask about the Wallmart cat incident. :P

BY THE NINE! (good luck with that)
-
Remembering some more stories here.
I cut the tip off my finger with a shaver once, it wasn't that bad but I was in the shower at the time and the water hit my cut (It didn't hurt so I didn't realize it was as bad as it was) and the water picked up a bit of the blood and then bounced off the wall. So after about 2 minutes of not noticing I look at the wall and it's covered in blood and I'm like "HOLY SWEET JESUS" XD
I also was bitten by a spider once :P it didn't pierce the skin but it made a rash, no idea what kind of spider it was... XD

I dunno, the thigh bone seemed to me to be the most random on the list. :D
-
i just remembered, i have also severely ripped my toe nails and had vast chunks of flesh sliced off my knee caps.
i have also been the cause of my dad loosing his big toe nail and he has also fallen off the 3rd floor of a buildingand narrowly missing several protruding steel rods (that accident was not my fault though as i was not there at the time :P )
and to do with the skateboarding, yesterday i received lots of bruises and a bloody hand :P
-
Most interesting would probably be when a friend an I were camping, We were cutting wood, as you do when camping, and he slipped, whacking me right in the back with his machete, completely destroyed my coat and shirt, barely left a scratch on me.
Other than that, climbing up a wall in an abandoned factory, stuck my hand right on a nail, still have the scars from it going through.
-
I climbed over stack of wood and stepped on rusted nail. Went right through my shoe and my foot.
-
The worst I've had is probably when my little brother threw a brick at the back of my head hurt like hell and bleed like mad and totally ruined my new shirt :'(
-
It wasn't me but I live in a place where the people around me go a bit bonkers occasionally. One day I randomly got the urge to crouch down; felt a swish of air and saw the tip of something blurred whizz past, looked round and someone managed to cane themselves in the head with a cricket bat. Apparently it was aimed at me. He had to go to hospital... Didn't even know there was anyone nearby at the time.
-
That was lucky ^_^
-
Happens quite a lot to me; I think I am probably Therian, because I exhibit quite a lot of the characteristics, and I think it was my other self's instinct that saves me a lot of the time. ^_^
On topic, someone threw a pair of scissors at me as I was walking today, someone tripped me at that moment and it hit them instead... Massive brawl ensued; I just kept walking.
Sounds strange, but this kind of thing happens to me far too much to be coincidental... I would say some deity loves me if He/She/It didn't use my emotions over friends and family as a kind of punchbag. (No offence meant to any religious people around.)
-
I cut my hand while karate-chopping a soft clay...
:o
Um... a soft clay... um.... thingy. :$
-
Nearly got stabbed last week walking home from a night on the town luckly I wasn't to drunk so I managed to break hit finger and arm before running for it that was really scary
-
:o Nice job! why did he want to stab you?
-
I was coming out of a gay bar is all I can think about as being the main problem otherwise it was a mugging I'm not totaly sure :/
-
Strange, I still don't know why people have such a violent reaction to things like this, I guess mugging I can understand a little better. Well at least you got him back and you're completely fine and safe :D
-
Yher well humans aren't known for being all that rational. Yher I guess taking up five martial arts can be useful ^_^
-
I remember biking down his and jumping of my bike last second to get in a tree at the bottom of the hill. Once i jumped i closed line my se;f and landed on my back taking all the air out of me XD
-
I never have had any serious injuries - the worst I've ever had was probably tumbling down the stairs backwards once I got to the very top, back in the early 2000s.
People besides me serious injuries, only thing was in 2003 when my mom cut her thumb really deep with the steak knife she was using to open my cat's toy or something. I dialed 911 for her and held the phone up to her ear as she applied pressure to her wound. I then accompanied her in the ambulance ride to the hospital.
-
When I was small I was playing on an a military ammo crate- fell off and busted mah skull on the left temple- full recovery with a huge scar under my eyebrow though, despite doc claiming I'd grow up with dain bamage ^_^
-
when my mom cut her thumb really deep with the steak knife she was using to open my cat's,
extreme misinterpretation xD

Oh...wooooow. Yeah I need to figure out a way to reword that then haha.

So today I finally decided to do something about this weird blood blister thing that I've had on my leg for a few days. I got a pair of tweezers from a Swiss Army Knife, then squeezed it a bit until it opened up. However, the color of the blood worried me... it looked slightly infected. So, I kinda squeezed it with my fingers...
And suddenly, something thin and black poked out of it along with a bit more slightly pussy blood. Turns out I've had a long splinter in my leg for like a week!

careful with that, you may want to make sure the blister thing wasnt infected- extremely dangerous. especially since it was inside a blister and all. may want to have a doctor look at it. if its bad, it could remain infected and form a large abscess...
-
Um, hold on...
*looks at leg*
Actually, it's fine. And it wasn't like yellow pus, just that clear sticky stuff with pus's viscosity.
-
Hehe, the worst thing i could possibly think of would be a cycling injury that i had last summer, basicly i got too much speed down a hill, then i hit a rock so hard i got knocked off the bike.
I actually hit my elbow on a rock realy hard, i though i had shattered it or something, but it wasnt realy injured X3
-
Youch! Doesn't sound like the best thing ever XD
-
That reminds me, I actually fell on a bike and hit my elbow myself. I know how painful that can be.
I got to see the inside of my elbow though, all the skin was scraped off and I could see strings of fat and everything.
-
hmm injuries i had huh? ok ^_^
At age of 4 some pushed me against some kind of window protection. my left eyebrow hit that protection and i got a small scar of bout 1 inch lengt
At age of 9 i broke my clavicule chasing down a friend on school got trapped by a volleyball web made somekind of mortal backflip and landed with my shoulder
At 11 some idiot pushed me fromt he stairs they were just 3 but i had my school bag hanging from only 1 of my shoulders which made my body turn, i landed on my left leg i broke it
At 12 i fell from my home stairs hitting my nape with 1 of the stair edges lucky me i didnt break anything this time just a big contusion
At 14 guess what i fell from anther stairs but this time was in the hospital, sister was having her baby i was going downstairs to the cafeteria when 1 of the stairs was wet w/o skid, last thing i remember was grabbing railing with my left arm (railing was on the other side) and i got a strain on it :S
Now i know stairs r not my friends ^_^
-
haha XD Man, so many stair incidents. That would suck XD
-
Hope none of u get these "stair incidents" XP
-
the other day i nearly did the splits after failing to land an ollie :P
-
Just played football and had my leg took out from under me as I jumped over his leg; I heard a large crack as I landed heavily on my other leg, not standing on it either. Sat to the side, had the ball kicked at me for being a wimp, blocked it with my hand, and heard another from my wrist. Frankly amazed I can still walk and type.
-
umm..When I was younger I managed to cut the tip of one my big toes off trying to climb some railings,
then a couple years back I was doing parkour one of my friends jumped out from behind the wall, scared me and I sprained a few ribs,
I cant remember how long again this was but I jumped from the top step of a slide, landed perfectly but out of no where slipped and broke my tail bone (which has now been broken 4 times due to stupidity),
Managed to break 3 fingers and my wrist doing boxing,
And my most recent one is I managed to get a nice big black eye from walking (Cough*Running*cough) into a lamp-post/street lamp
-
auch x_x
-
Well i cud go on next to forever about all the crap that has done its best to kill me.Well lets see how long forever is.I have broke my are 3 times my left one time and my right 2 time.I have steped on a razerblade and sea shells lots of blood for them.Have hit my head more times then i can count one of the bad ones wa i was rideing one of those push scooters down a omg thats a big hill hill got to the bottum and there was a bump.I hit sed bump and did a face plant by the time i got up 10secs or so my face had got 2x as big.A very nice lady that was driveing behind me ween it happend pick me up and drove me home which was nice of her>Well ween all was sed and done i did not have a concussion which is odd cus the lady the took me home told my dad that she was going 40mph and i was pulling away from her.and have a very bad one of my friend but will do that in a bit.
-
I had a friend called Henry who went to kick a football but missed and kicked straight down at the ground instead. He fractured multiple bones in his foot, then complained that the fracture wasn't compound.
-
I lost one of my testicles in a football game, a guy in the other team missed the ball and hit me, so when I was little, I fainted and woke up in hospital, I had already been operated...
>:
-
ouch. I think you might have won this thread
-
Indeed that's pretty bad
-
When I was in a car accident in 07 there was substantial blood loss to one of my vertebrae and now that bone in my back is half dead. There is literally a diagonal line from one corner of the bone to the other that is just white and dead.
-
Ouch, does having a half dead vertebrae effect any kind of movement or?
-

Oh yeah. I have chronic pain in my back now. Every now and then the disk likes to bulge, and makes it worse. if I move around too much it likes to spasm on me. I nearly fall when my back does that. My ex used to try to hug and leaning on me. I'd have to remind him not to do that because of my back.
-
Damn =/ I would hate lasting injuries
-
My dad fell off a building at a construction site and nearly got impaled. That was ages ago though
-
I stubbed my toe when I was like 8
Got the nail clear off D:
-
That reminds me of when I was small and I stood on a rose thorn and it went straight into my foot
I didn't even notice other than I couldn't walk properly
-
My cousins friend had a nail stabbed through his hand somehow, he didn't notice it at all.
He was waiting in a concert line where the guy behind him said "HOLY CRAP YOU HAVE A NAIL THROUGH YOUR HAND"
and he was like "huh?" looked at his hand and then started screaming XD
-
My friend's dad had a knife through his hand after working on the roof.
After he noticed it he went completely silent and pulled it out slowly before going to his room
-
I was cleaning one of my swords and droped it on my foot. I was in total shock I looked at it for about a min and was like this is bad MOM! HELP! she came in and we did not know what to do so went to the docters with it in my foot. XD ah memories.
-
Right now for some reason the front of my foot. I think its called the roll? Is hurting like a mother.
Probably bruised the bone from jumping off my bunk so many times :P
-
Ouch :(
Well, my thumb has been infected for the last week, I should of taken pictures.
Pretty much these are the stages it went through.
1. A blister covering a third of the entire thumb
2. Blister deflates, thumb turns (literally) brown
3. the brown part of the skin falls of and a third of the thumb is very sensitive and pink.
So yeah, i'm up to stage 3 now XD
-
XD okay this one is pretty funny one time i was gonna go throw garbage out in one of those big dumpsters and i threw it in but for some reason i didn't let go of the bag and there was a little door on side of the dumpster that slammed into my face but didn't hurt to much so i laughed and just asked my cousin if my nose was bleeding he just stared at me and said we gotta get home so we ran over and i checked the mirror it turned out i got a huge gash on the bridge of my nose lol i felt so dumb after that and i needed like 3 stitches (which hurt more than the dumpster hitting me >.> )
-
I broke my arm falling off a tree house when I was 7.
-
I dropped my pen, a fountain pen, and my ninja skills got in it's way, but I wasn't ninja enough, so I got stabbed in my finger and now I have a black dot that won't go away.
-
Razot, you need to become more proficient in ninje.
I backflipped into a swimming pool. Except I didn't actually move. And I failed the landing. So I landed on the edge of the pool right with my sternum. **censor** caned. AND then momentum carried me into the pool. Getting winded then ending up in the deep end is not fun :P
-
Traumatic Brain Injury. Fell off my horse. Lost two years of my life. No big deal, just effects me everyday now.
It's unfortunate and I'm thankful too, because now I know what I want to do with my life.
-
Wow, that's interesting, never heard of such large memory loss.
-
Yeah it's pretty unfortunate, and also rare as I hear. I guess I just got lucky it wasn't worse?
-
It could always be worse.
-
i just burnt by finger on a hot pan >:(
and now it smells like bacon...
-
Aww that's so ba....con?
bacon?
hmm
...
*Resists noming on Razot's fingers*
-
One time my older droped a dish right next to my feet. He was un-touched but I had shards in my both legs and blood was dripping out.
-
I ran into a wall.....I have a really neat and big scar on my forehead and a really, really, dumb story behind it.
-
And just like that I want to hear the story XD
*Puts Coty on a big chair near a fire-place, then sits down on the floor eagerly awaiting Coty*
Tell me :D :D :D
-
the SAE team's previous captain sliced the tip of his finger off with a box cutter knife-aka, razor. Blood was everywhere from what I heard xD healed up nicely xD
-
That reminds me of a time when a guy at Gleneon was doing woodwork, he was chiseling away some wood.
Chisel + Hammer + Hand = Lots of blood
I was there XD
Also, there was another time at my primary school where my Taiquando teacher accidentally punched someone in the face o.o XD
-
I've also broken my cheek bone before. Someone hit me in the face with a polocrosse stick really hard when I was playing. (Polocrosse is like lacrosse on horseback.) It hurt really bad.I saw stars.
-
In third grade, back when I wasn't aware of me being a furry, we were playing kickball outside on the gravel, and my friend John was up to kick. He kicked, missed, and flipped backwards and smashed his head on the concrete. In pain and unconscious, our teacher immediately called the ambulance. A doctor stated he just had a concussion. As my teacher's eyes lit up, our eyes filled with joy, knowing that he was in no serious harm. However, after coming back to school, he didn't recognize us. We stared at him strangely, first questioning if we had gone crazy; then wondering if HE had gone crazy. He apparently had a bit of short-term memory loss, and later came to his senses soon after.
I have a HUGE habit of telling my life stories like a book.
-
I know someone who took an arrow to the knee.
...
Wait, Skyrim guards don't count? :P
On a serious note, I stabbed myself with a book earlier. Somehow. Worse, when I came to use the reference book that I stabbed myself with, I couldn't get to where I needed to be to use it, because I had stabbed myself in the foot with it. OH THE IRONY... smelt it into steely?
-
I have one.
Me and some mates got the BRILLIANT idea to jump about on a number of rocks scattered about the campground we were near. Some of you can probably guess the catalyst of the decision ( XD ) Anyway I ended up going for one that was about 4 feet up. I made the jump and was standing on it, but the pressure from my landing caused the wood (which was partially rotted out) to give way...
Did the splits on some jagged wood. Cut the flesh off my theighs pretty cleanly though. Some serious scarrage.
Worst part is I flipped and nailed my head ( :o ) which gave me a nasty concussion-
I'm just happy the log was so wide, or I'd have been in for a whole different level of pain!
-
And just like that I want to hear the story XD
*Puts Coty on a big chair near a fire-place, then sits down on the floor eagerly awaiting Coty*
Tell me :D :D :D
*does best grandpa impersonation*
Gather 'round rascals, and I'll tell you how I got this big ol' scar on my head. It was many years ago, I was just a wee lad. My parents were out on a date night and it was just me my older sister and a babysitter at home. At some point during the night I ended up with a piece of cellophane. I eagerly rand down the hall to the kitchen where the garbage can was. This hall wasn't straight, it had a curve to it and for some reason or other, my head came into contact with the corner at the curve. Now, foreheads don't take too kindly to hitting walls and it started to bleed. A lot. My sister came over saw all the blood, went pale and called out for the sitter. The sitter came over, saw all the blood, went pale and got on the phone and caller her mother. Her mother drove over, came in, saw all the blood and went pale and called the restaurant my parents were eating at. They came home, saw all the blood, and went pale. They then drove me to the ER. And that is the story of why I have a 3 inch scar on my forehead.
-
I have a similar story to ^ but it wasnt a wall, it was an open stove. Thing was very old, raised from the floor- right in front of the back door xD
-
Well, I recently had teeth removed, and tomoorow I'll have four more yanked from my skull in the back of "the party van" with a set of rusy pliers as I believe my dentists called the FBI.
OT: I was practing knife combat (like I do in my spare time) on a thin tree(sapling) and cut it in half, which then made an older knife fall free from another tree (most likely via slamming into it) and it cut into my arm(little inch long cut) through my hoodie. After that the sapling hit me and I threw it like a spartan javelin. Later that day, I must have pissed off a collared lizard, for it tried to climb into my brain (It crawled on my face near my eyes for a moment), so I head banged it off. All in all most random wounds I've gotten other than a brush to the arm that numbed it slightly.
(My friend laughed at the headbanging, since my hair is now down to the small of my back)

And just like that I want to hear the story XD
*Puts Coty on a big chair near a fire-place, then sits down on the floor eagerly awaiting Coty*
Tell me :D :D :D
*does best grandpa impersonation*
Gather 'round rascals, and I'll tell you how I got this big ol' scar on my head. It was many years ago, I was just a wee lad. My parents were out on a date night and it was just me my older sister and a babysitter at home. At some point during the night I ended up with a piece of cellophane. I eagerly rand down the hall to the kitchen where the garbage can was. This hall wasn't straight, it had a curve to it and for some reason or other, my head came into contact with the corner at the curve. Now, foreheads don't take too kindly to hitting walls and it started to bleed. A lot. My sister came over saw all the blood, went pale and called out for the sitter. The sitter came over, saw all the blood, went pale and got on the phone and caller her mother. Her mother drove over, came in, saw all the blood and went pale and called the restaurant my parents were eating at. They came home, saw all the blood, and went pale. They then drove me to the ER. And that is the story of why I have a 3 inch scar on my forehead.
Ahh that's just brilliant XD

As much as i go outside and stuff, I rarely get into accidents. I got four of my fingers smashed into a door after trying to immitate my science teacher. When he shuts the door, he doesn't use the handles. He puts his hand inside the door hinge area and pulls on the door, then removes his hand to avoid getting smashed. Me and my friend always cringe at that, afraid that he might actually smash his hand. Well I was trying to explain to my mom what happened, demonstrated it, and smashed all four fingers except the thumb. They felt like pancakes, and smelt like burnt toast.
Another time I was putting things in my dad's trunk and the trunk fell on my head and hit me, leaving a bruise. That's why I don't like putting things in the trunk anymore or even putting my hands in the trunk area. When I put things in car trunks, now I just throw them in the trunk about 3 feet away from the car.
-
Ouch! I remember when I was little I smashed my finger in a door and it swelled as big as my thumb o.o XD
Doors & fingers are never a good combination :P
-
I dunno anoni, I mean, fingers are used to open doors xP
-
I think he means to say door HINGES and fingers aren't a good combo.

I too smashed my finger in a door when I was little and from that day on I learned that doors are evil X3

I was joking :P

Because he is a silly wolf :P

My friend broke his arm really seriously while after off his bike.
The thing was though, his bike was stationary.
-
Well that's just unfortunate D:
Did he just fall really badly on it or was the bike near a cliff or something? :P
-

He just landed on his elbow awkwardly. ... we all still make fun of him though, because it's an achievement if you can do that much damage from falling off a bike that's not moving.
-
you'd be surprised how much damage falling 4 feet can do to one area if you land square on it, on something as hard as concrete :P
-
Of course it depends where you strike. An elbow has many milliseconds less time to dissipate the deceleration over compared to a forearm, so naturally the force will be higher, leading to more damage. It's also one of the reasons falling on your head is more dangerous than falling on your arms. It is to do with flesh thickness and coverage, if you understand my reasoning.
Physics Pup, away!

has more to do with area ^_^
elbow is a small area, something like the palm of your hand, has much larger area, and dissipates the fall better due to lower pressure.
but yep, pretty much :P No doubt flesh coverage plays a role as well XP
I wouldn't want to fall on my elbow from 4 feet xD
-
True, area plays a part. But let me put flesh coverage this way. If you were to fall off a roof, would you rather land on a stack of mattresses or a concrete patio? Same deal with flesh coverage. Reducing the N/m[super]2[/super] works too, but that comes after flesh thickness. Force = acceleration x mass I think. Or something. Force is proportionate to acceleration/deceleration. So if you lengthen the time... Lets work in energy. 4500J for being hit by a 1000kg car moving at 10 mph. Approximately. Would you rather that hit you over a second or instantly? In other words, would it be more comfortable with a bajillion cushions strapped to the front? Yes, though still not pleasant at all. :3
...Darn I broke my point. If you decrease the force by increasing the time deceleration acts in, reducing the deceleration assuming the same starting velocity, then increasing the area has less effect.
Thread Hijack complete. Physics Pup, away!
-
xD
indeed, you are absolutely correct, but, your head, elbow, and most areas you generally land on don't have enough flesh coverage to make the theory practical xP
which, is why I used the example of palm vs elbow :P
Anyhow, back when I was on my robotics team in high school, a guy lost the upper portion of a finger to a stationary grinding wheel, not fun. they never let us use the grinder again after that :P
Another guy I know, lost a large chunk of his leg to a milling machine/lathe (probably lathe, I forget now) when the workpiece got loose, and he was sitting down, and couldn't get away from the machine fast enough.
-
Oh god, did your friend get workplace cover?
-
friend was an old guy, old machinist, he did it quite some time ago :P not recently, and I sure wasn't there xD
so, dunno :P
-
Ouch...the way you explained it made it sound so much more painful than it might have been.
However, thanks for the thorough explanation Physics Pup/legolyle. I hope your friend is okay.
-
my friend slipped and his hand went right through a fence
or rather the fence went right through his hand...
i'll see if i can find a picture XD
-
Just recently parkouring with a friend, and we sliding down a roof of the church in downtown (about four stories) and i missed time to jump and barley grabbed the gutter one handed (dunno how it held) my buddy was following me and he figured I dropped off on purpose, and he didn't see me grab the gutter... He's still in the hospital after landing on his arm...

yesterday I lost about 4% of my big toe :P

In onther news... I GOT SHOT IN THE FACE WITH A ROMAN CANDLE. IT WAS MOIST AND DELICIOUS.

how's that happen? D:

O_O
What the what?
I know a girl who got stabbed in the side.
-
Well, you see, I was playing with fireworks and someone was drunk. They aimed at me and hit me in the face.
-
See? Another reason to not drink alcohol.
