spartan Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I tore all the muscles in my back when i first started riding. But when they healed my spine was actually a little twisted and started pinching nerves so i had to go in for some grueling physio.That was annoying.I broke my collar bone playing soccer once but that wasnt too bad.The worst was when i was 15 playing keeper i dove for the ball and got kick full on in the face. Ended up breaking my cheekbone. OHH man the agony. I think that was the longest 2 weeks of my life. When people say liquid diet them mean LIQUID as in nothing.Dudes, DONT get kicked in the face.... its not a good ideaProps to anyone who can top that Cheers,Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) This thread is useless without pictures My most recent serious injury was bmx handlebars embedded into the top of my right thigh, I mean right at the top and inch to the left and no kids and 2mm to the right I would have died in a pool of my own blood in the skatepark As it was the bars punched a hole straight through my jeans and neatly applecored a 7/8" diameter hole out of my groin. Having fallen off the bike in a tangled heap I kicked it away with my left leg and it skidded away with a lovely trail of flesh hanging out the end of the handlebars My mates dragged me over to the wall and propped me up whilst I put pressure on it - its soo awesome to get dragged through pools of your own blood :D The bars went into my leg a full 3", the grip was rolled back as a witness to this.The result was 4 subcutaneous stitches to sew the hole up and another 5 to close the entry wound, the doctors could see the femoral artery in the bottom of the hole - I was so very close to killing myself Suffered minor nerve damage which meant it felt like someone was sandpapering my inner thigh for 18 months.Now have a neat scar at the top of me leg but I dont show it off in public in general The moral of the story is dont go riding after a 17 pint all day bender starting the previous lunchtime and dont rely on plastic bar plugs to save you - I have the blood soaked remains of an odi bar plug wedged in my bars somewhere, oh and that samsung d600s dont like to be soaked in blood Edited March 14, 2008 by forteh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aziraphael Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 As a supplement to Trials riding, I used to play squash to keep fit with a mate of mine on his return weekends from the Marines...Anyhoo, not being the brightest spark on the bonfire, I neglected to get any goggles for general eye protection and continued to play in my glasses.Well, rather predictably, on Friday the 13th of January 2006 I was being a smug f**ker and thought I'd figured out where the guy was gonna send the ball next. I span round and went round the back of him to cut the ball off mid-return, when I suddenly found myself face-to-face with his backswing!!I now have a nifty scar on my right brow where the racquet hit my head, and a nifty scar ON MY EYEBALL where my left lense shattered into my eye.The scar, inidentally, is from the resulting operation (under LOCAL anaesthetic) to try and remove a small fragment of glass from my eye.No such luck... It would have caused more damage trying to chase the damn thing out, so they left it in there. It may stay there for ever, or it may travel either further in or maybe even out, but we don't know until it happens one way or the other.Obviously the moral of the story should be to wear eye protection at all times when playing dangerous sports...I prefer to merely state that doing anything in any way risky on a Friday 13th should be avoided at all costs...One week of being unable to open my eye, a following week of excrutiating pain everytime I blinked, a total of three weeks of on-the-hour-every-hour eyedrops, £185 worth of new glasses and the now rather irritating occasional lack of ability to judge distances (or heights)...Woo!- Adi - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-Inspired Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 As far as riding injurys go i have had my fair share Amongest countless broken fingers and toes last year i broke my elbow in half when my back brake snapped riding off a curb. The specialists at the hospital siad i must have hit it at 60mph+. Ended up having 6 hours of surgery a metal plate and 6 screw in my arm loads of staples to hold the skin together and a nasty scar it healed and i was back on my bike within 2 months but my arm has never been able to go straight since. 5 months after that misshap i failed a tap up to an anchor outside a local museum and jumped back and my foot folded inside my leg my fibula touched the floor it broke my fibula and my lateral malleolus unfortunatly the pictures of my ankle break are on my laptop but i have the xrays from my arm and some of the staples. ENJOY!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I appear to bounce, every time I have a decent stack I can keep riding for the day.The only real injury I ever had was I looped my motorbike trying to get up a big step, and I knackered my left shoulder, it's always seems to pull really easily now.

JoeM Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Is it me or is hocky really dangerous? My friend broke his ankle playing last week, ball got smacked at his foot.. Funny thing was, he carried on playing. Sounds painful, did it damage any of your teeth? Good luck if it did, after my front tooth was chipped badly in rugby i've been to the dentist too many times .
