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



Ouch

And while i am here, i was once sailing a trimaran as a passenger when another boat collided and the rig fell down and i was hit on the head, luckily it was the boom fro the other boat that hit me and i ended up having a cut on my head glued

Somewhere in the middle of pitchpoleing our Hurricane I managed to smash my front teeth (top). Three years later two crowns and extensive root canal work all seems OK.

I've snapped the same front tooth 6 times. Each time exposing the nerve.

He was trying too hard.  Lubrication..........  (It makes quite a click when it goes you know)

Worst injury would be stomping home after a (peeved) argument with the GF and then stepping on a broken bottle which slice through my boot and deep into the sole of my foot. Pulled it out (as you so when peeved), stomped the rest of the way home with hand pouring blood from pulling the bottle out and foot bleeding with various bits hanging out of it. The worst part, got to A&E, was the first case of 2001 and had my former baby sitter stitch my foot up as she was the duty sister!

Worst sailing injury was concussion for 3 days after almost having my head removed by a Laser boom whilst sailing by the lee and getting it wrong!

Pitchpole on the dart whilst out on the trapeze (mate driving!) found my eye connecting nastily with the end of the tiller extension.  Horrible bruise all around the socket.  

I'm planning to get a sponge tennis ball for it...........the end of my tiller extension, not my eye!

Broke my left leg, both arms and fractured my skull. Bone marrow from the leg break entered bloodstream and caused fat-embolism which left me comatose for 10 days and gave me smallish blindspot in right eye. Leg break complicated by virulent infection (open fracture) which destroyed sciatic nerve. Trainee nurse observing operating team in theatre lost count at 200 stitches as they tried to piece my face back together.

Advised by docs to abandon physical sports and consider archery. Since then have played rugby, done half marathons, been clocked at 12.2 seconds for 100m (PB was 10.8 pre accident) and skied my arse off. Life's too short to look backwards.

And chicks dig scars!
