Worst injuries, most painful, most impressive? It doesn't have to be to do with sailing. For example a 3 pound speaker cone just fell off the dresser, hit me in the face and made me bleed  Then to add injury to well injury the second speaker cone hit me in the back off the head as I writhed in pain

I bounced off a kerb with the side of my head last week which wasnt pretty. The mate who was with me is supposed to be on crutches for a few weeks as a result of the same incident... We're not entirely sure what happened or why it went so badly but suffice it to say there were a few double vodka limes involved.

We're making the most of it though with some epic stories. My favourite so far is the pair of girls we met in the union who think we got hit by a car trying to rescue a cute puppy from the middle of the road. Good times.

Ouch, hope this thread doesn't get too gorey . You are a bit sparse on detail so I'm betting it was quite serious. 

 

Never hurt myself badly, never broken anything that needed A&E or cut myself. Caught things in zips and Levi zips are damn chunky, And "things" tend to bleed a lot, embarrassing when you're out

got too many sailing injuries.

most recent ones i guess are:

at Tollesbury aboard Trinity don't know how but i broke a toe while there last weekend.

and today was not a good day either, due to lack of wind laid in the 300. capsized it and hit head on boom (nice bump on my head now).

also found out how unstable and stupid it is to try and stand in front of the mast, and have both legs slip either way
