Yeah, but the maxillo-facial team did a pretty good job. It'd be a shame to ruin their handiwork!

Dave .. Thats quite an impressive list! How on earth did that happen?

I've had a Laser mast dropped on my head. Kinda tickled. I think my sunnies took the brunt of the impact though ( they were on the top of my head at the time )

Walked sideways into a wall mounted, metal box. Corner of it met the side of my head ... Lots of pain ... Still get small tingles there. Might go get that checked out soon.

A few burns here and there from cutting rope, and the hot end meeting skin.

Not at the sailing club:

Slipped while cycling in the rain, cut my leg open. 2 x 2 inch cuts in my shin .. Bled for a while. Still got marks and it was 6 months ago.

Slipped while walking to school .. Stepped off the kerb, found some ice, went AOT. Put my arm out to try and slow the pain .. and *crack* ... Broke my Humorous, bone pushed in and up by about 2 inches ( and was poking me in the ribs) Luckily it didnt break the skin.

6 weeks in a traction cast, 4 weeks of Physio, and being told that it hadnt healed quite straight was a bit annoying. Especially in the runup to my GCSE's.

That was done to death .. but no, I didnt.

Kinda hurt at times ...

Sleeping sitting up so the traction would work all the time, slipping down in the night a few times .. and standing up in the morning to feel the bone grating over bone as it slid back down inside the arm ... Not a nice way to start the day!

I dislocated a finger whilst falling off a windsurfing on Coniston.  It looked horrible when I surfaced as it went sideways at about 110 degrees to straight.  I'm not brave but I took a deep breath and pulled it back into place.  I tried to finish the race but was shaking too much.

I taped it to an a joining finger and tried the second race but it throbed.  It was very painfull driving home that evening.

fell off a horse and did that thing you always get told never to do when falling -I put my hand out to stop myself, my wrist was too far out to the side and I landed on my elbow, dislocating it.

The wierdest injury I've had happened during an operation to have wisdom teeth removed...came round from the general anesthetic and my wife drove me home. I had a shower my wife came in and said "whats that" pointing at my todger. I had a (massive ) bruise on it, very dark almost a blood blister, like someone had pinched it . Never found out why as I didn't ask ......and no, not all my injuries are todger related before anyone asks.

Dislocated my knee doing Judo, In the process of Throwing a Guy when he shifted his weight and caused me to lose balance and fall forward and land with his 15st and my 12 stone on my knee, 

8 weeks in a full length cast and another 2 weeks learning to walk again :(   Doc's said i should not do active sports,  so i started Climbing and never left sailing, and tried snowboarding.  Although thats another injury Broke Scaphoide and was in cast for 16 weeks, and i conly got 5 minutes snowboarding :( and 2 weeks of drinking :) and chicks dig casts!!!!

The only you ones have to fear are the people who tell you to be afraid
