My boss always jokingly tells me " don't do anymore dumb shit". Well he's got a point but I usually have justification for what I was doing before I inflict bodily harm. I'll tell my accidents/injuries 1x1 and you share yours. For the record, I like dangerous sports but consider myself conservative. Ages are approximate... age 3...broke 2 fingers in a car door. Ages 3-10 multiple stitches from falling/bmx accidents at home. Age13 broken thumb(surgery) from trying to use downhill skis we found in the trash in my backyard with the wrong type of wax. Age 16, broken femur(spiral into knee joint). My bro and I bought cheap ass snowboards from Kmart and it snowed early in November. 1/2 mile from the house and a few hundred feet from the steel bridge in Pottersville. Age 19...separated shoulder and concussion dirt bike accident in back yard. Age 23 severe concussion(knocked out for 24 hours(golf cart accident and required surgery form broken orbital floor). Age 25 broken heel. Age 31 slight separation of pelvis to spine(simple slip on wet grass playing football). Age 35 twisted ankle/broken tibia(until last month I thought this was just a twisted ankle from a dirt bike accident). Age 42 broken scapula and ribs in back(wilderness 101 crash on conservative panther run trail). Age 47 severe concussion and broken orbital floor(passed out and collapsed after a hard ride and stomach bug. I've had some other stuff like appendix removed, foot surgery etc outlets see what YOU got. For the record I am not proud of this, it's just who I am.

at 61 shit just breaks on its own.

broke my neck(ish) in 2014 or so at 6MR.
otherwise, I've been lucky. all the other stuff is hardcourt injuries. boring.
 
My apologies. My short attention span…I didn’t read the whole title…or post. But see “lifetime “.

Worst was broken tibia and fibula when I was 8. Fell off my bike. Spent a week in the hospital and 12 weeks of casts.

Funny, one of those injuries that is harder for kids that adults...with my tib/fib break....they put a rod in my leg...50% weight bearing in 10 days, I was racing my dirtbike again in 10 weeks.

And btw since I have been asked this 5000 times....3 of my 4 limbs are full of metal...plates, rods, screws...some titanium, some stainless.....I have never set off an airport metal detector...dating back to 2000 when I first got screws/plate in my wrist....not one time. :shrug:
 
I think the only "lifetime" injury I have is my middle finger

Middle school. Went next door to hang with my uncle and his nephew who were hitting baseballs in the yard. They asked if I wanted to join so I grabbed a glove and was putting it on and the ball came right at my head so I put my hands up to stop it. But since the glove wasn't on right, my right hand took the brunt and I wound up jamming my middle finger pretty badly. I still can't bend it all the way. But luckily I can still straighten out just fine. 🖕
