Stupidest way you've been injured?

[oilertay]

The stupidest way I've been injured is I was playing basketball on my hoop ( I live at the very end of a cul de sac so it's convenient to set up my hopp there ) with my little brother and his friend, and I was running really fast, not looking ahead of me. Well, I got the pass, slam dunked it, and completely slammed my face on the pole supporting the hoop. I am now missing a front tooth. :)

[Carbinedevil]

I got injured when I got pawed by my cousin's dog and had to have endless injections for rabies :oops:

[Rizla]

I broke my wrist while playing rugby once, was on the end of a scrum when it collapsed, resulting in the weight of about 9 people crashing down on yours truly.

 

 

 

I remember playing on for a while not realising anything was severely wrong, it just felt a little painful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: Can't believe i forgot about this, clearly the most embarassing injury in my life:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was on a school trip to Austria for a week's skiing, in the evening a lot of us went down to the basement to a room with 3-4 table tennis tables for a game or 2 (we were too young to drink at the time and there wasn't a lot else to do). I was playing against a teach and was getting a bit cocky, started to show off and did a sort of spin before attempting to hit the ball. All didn't go according to plan and i tripped, smacked my head on the wall, and was pretty much unconscious for about 30-40 seconds. People were worried for about half that time before they started laughing, and i got 'wally of the day' for it.

[____]

I fractured my pinkie "catching" a Vortex once.

 

 

 

You know those foam football shaped things with the tail bit on the end?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, anyhow I jumped for the catch, and it hit the side of my hand.

 

 

 

Took me 3 weeks to notice anything odd when I couldn't bend my finger and more.

 

 

 

Got it exrayed and it was almost healed...

[Mayjest]

Broke my arm because I was playing football. I was in goal, and had left my watch on. I saved a shot, the force of the ball snapped my hand back, and the watch dug into my arm, giving me a small fracture. Not bad though, I got to use a laptop in lessons (I was 12 at the time, this was definately a cool thing).

[Azvareth]

Probably when I was like 4-5 years old, and I was in my parents' bed, trying to teach my... teddybear to do a vault (again, I was 4-5 years old). Well, it went fine until I had reached the position where my head was where my feet were supposed to be, and vise versa -- because I practically just crashed down on my neck/head after that. I honestly thought I had broken my neck and I was gonna die. I tried to scream for mom, but I couldn't. But I managed to stagger to my bed, where I passed out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I woke up, my mom gave me a bunch of cookies, soda and an icicle. :]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also when I was like 13, I got in a fight with this guy - and well, I attemped to punch him, he dodged it, and he just happened to have this concrete wall behind him. So I basically punched into it, as hard as I could. Couldn't use my right hand for weeks after that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Erhm, what the hell, I might as well tell you about this other time as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was in 9th or 8th grade I think. My eraser had somehow landed ontop of a locker. These lockers were like... 2,10 meters tall, so I had to use these metal cloth-hangers which were located near the locker to assist me. So I jumped, grabbed my eraser, and on my way down I hurt my elbow on one of the hangers... badly. You know this nerve you have on your elbow? That you barely need to touch before you begin to shudder. Well, I had hit that nerve really hard. So I tried to walk off the pain: didn't help. So I sat down on a bench, and I can vaugely remember my mate asking me if I was alright, before I passed out. I also managed to fall off the bench, face first into the rubber-y floor, where I more or less grazed half my face. I also had these seizures which weren't so pleasent. I kinda freaked out my mate for a bit. :P

When I was 5 I was sitting on my sisters shoulders inside the house because we we just playing and I fell and broke my elbow, wasn't very pleasant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In 2nd year at secondry school (about 14 years old maybe) there was always a race from class to the tuck shop at break time, I was first out and ran out and tried to push open a door, but it turned out it was locked, slammed into the door where I cut my forehead open, had to get paper stitches :x

[Wayne]

I gave myself a black eye while sleeping :oops:

[Chris]

HONEY I'M HOME! Oh god I had to say that so bad...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, most stupid way I've ever hurt myself?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd say when I was about 3, I took a temper tantrum in a Video store because I wanted a bag of Jelly Babies and because my dad held my arm I dislocated it. That's not the worst of it either... The hospital thought it was a break and put my arm in a cast! After a few weeks I was still in pain, they took it off and pushed it back into place. Damnit that hurt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another one was in high school, I didn't want to play football (soccer) so someone in the class decided in his wisdom to boot the ball in my face. I lost my temper but I didn't go for him, I went straight for the changing rooms, door was locked so I tried kicking it open. That didn't work so making me angrier I decided that it would be a good idea to start punching, you know because I can totally punch harder than I can kick... (NOT) and breaking my hand was the result before one of the gym teachers calmed me down. Not bad considering it was 4 weeks before the exams, damn hand healed in 3 weeks so I still had to do the exams. :(

When I was 5, I was jumping around near the edge of my grandmothers bed, and there was a mirror sitting upright on the ground. Being 5, I had little coordination or judgement, and I accidently leaped off of the bed, and my head head hit the corner of the mirror, about one inch above my eye.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It wasn't a serious injury, but if I landed in almost any other way, I would of lost my left eye. Plus, I have a life-long Harry-Potter-like scar in the middle of my forehead.

[Bubsa]

Well, in our common room we have a cantine. The exit is near a window, and where the door opens there is a little blindspot.

 

 

 

I was mozying out with a cheese and bacon baguette where my friend JP jumps out of the blindspot, exclaiming: "OOGA WOOGA WOOGA!!!"

 

 

 

I threw the baguette up in the air and staggered backwards. I staggered straight through the window into the corridor outside, infront of the head of 6th form, leaving a Bubsa shaped hole in the window. In the process I suffered cuts and a ruined pair of underpants.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let this be a lesson to school administrators, have that green wire stuff in EVERY window in the school.

[Meesy]

Test if a rubber-hammer really is as painfull as they say.

[Bmw]

Ouch, you guys have some bad luck.

 

 

 

Azvareth - you hit what's called your "funny bone" and yea, I know, there's really nothing funny about it! It hurts/tingles like crazy even when u lightly bump it. Ouch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for me, I haven't had any real injuries. Just cuts and bruises, nothing more. Aren't I lucky! :P

[Azvareth]

Bmw, yeah, the "funny bone" is what it's called. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yup. Hurt pretty good.

When I was about 12 - 13 ish I went to a school Fete at my old primary school. There was a huge bouncy slide (made out of bouncy castle stuff but in the shape of a slide) it was quite high maybe bout 8 - 9 ft or so. I payed for one go but kept climbing back up with my friends and eventually the head teacher arrived. I was standing at the top so I thought 'right I'll make this a good one' so I leaped as high as I could and because of this (I dunno why) I put my left arm down to probably try and cushion the fall but it was a bad idea since my left elbow bent the wrong way which resulted in a fractured arm just above my elbow. I completed Tony Hawks 3 around 12 - 13 times because of the boredom of not being able to skate or do anything fun outside :'(. Bouncy slides are evil :evil: .

did the bear at least learn it? Seems like you didn't :lol: .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

anyways...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

mine would probaly be when i was in... 4th-5th grade, and we were at my little brothers.. t-ball game or something. Well anyways, i was climbing on the back of the bleachers. My mom told me to get off of them, so i jumped off. I felt something, and when i looked down at my leg it has a huge wagon cut in it. Werid thing was, there was little bleeding, all i could see is fat, and it didn't hurt at all. (I must have hit one of the sharp T-bar things on bleachers)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, i walked up to my mom and told her i cut my leg :lol: so she walked me over to the sidewalk. When she looked at it.. :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, the actual cut didn't hurt, but DAMN did the stitchs hurt. I remember they realy sucked at them, because when i had to get them out it hurt like hell too (13 stitchs :) )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:)

[Mayjest]

I hate knocking my funny bone - my mate knocked it with a bat last sunday. It took 20 minutes for me to be able to pick up my drink without it falling out! Fortunately I could use my left hand :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Bubsa, that is probably the single most funniest story I have heard on these forums. Probably because my old common sounds exactly the same - plenty of blindspots, and no green criss-cross stuff on the glass. I could easily imagine the exact same thing happening to me. Except I'd be the dude jumping out at you ;)

[Bubsa]

Good to see people enjoying my miss-happs :)

 

 

 

Maybe I should write a book.

[oilertay]

Ah, those are some really funny stories :lol:

 

 

 

Keep em commin :)

[mk]

ive only injured myself seriously a couple of times.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. i cut the front of my thumb off while cutting wood for a fire, 5 years ago. this was daft, but the interesting bit was that i was over 70 miles from the nearest hospital with no car and no phone. I ended up using sticky tape a wet wipe. it worked, i have a complete thumb and the feeling has now completely returned to the tip of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. i broke my collar bone training with my judo coach. I fell over and hit my shoulder on a step v_v

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. |I set my jeans on fire (didnt actually injur myself but its stupid anyway) while drunk, sitting on the sofa and didnt notice the candles on the floor x_X

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

my mate has injured himself in a weirder way, I can laugh about it now but at the time it was ... scary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

he decided to steal some chemicals from the science lab at school and wrapped them in a tissue and put them in his pocket. Later that lesson he was bored and started to flick his lighter in his pocket. This lit the tissue and ignited the chemicals contained.

 

 

 

The chemicals reacted and turned to a highly concentrated acid, running down his leg and burning it to the muscle.

 

 

 

He spent 3 months in hospital, wouldnt walk for 5 months and had to wear a support bandage for over a year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hes kinda dumb.

 

 

 

but i love him anyway.

[LordChocobot]

I was about 5, and decided that my fingertips looked kinda dull. So I grabbed a sharpener... :oops:

[oilertay]

I remember when I was around 11, I think, and I saw my dad's razor. It didnt look that sharp.....so....I tried it on my thumb. there is now a permanent dip in my thumb lol.

[mhrobinson2]

about a year ago this guy play swung at my "nether region" i wasent expecpting it so i took my hand to block it went to fast and hit myself extremely hard in that very spot....

2. hit my hand with a glue gun in math class (ya those were good times) about 2 months ago - we named the bridge charlie and painted it red

 

 

 

3. was playin with me scissors about 4-5 months ago, was bending em backwars, so that the blades were backwards - sharp parts out anyways it got stuck and i was pulling on the and they swung downwards and sliced me hand - kinda hard to explain, ill re-en-act it and get my couz to take some pics

 

 

 

4. the same scissors i had broken so that i had... two scissor (??) like 2 halves of a scissor anyways i was playing them like knives (running the blades along each other) really fast and... messed up

[gehjl]

lol, i've only had a couple stupid incidents.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When i was around 6 i was playing tug of war with my brother with a sock. Well being my older brother, he won, pulling me towards him........and my head into the corner of a night stand. Cracked my head open.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then about when i was 16-17, we went to sports authority. Me and my cousin found 2 boxing gloves, so we each got 1. We started fighting, and i was walking backwards. I tripped and i put my left hand down to catch myself :cry: well that didnt work to well. Fractured my wrist, wore a cast for 6 weeks.
