-three scars on mah shoulder from where they reattached it to mah body. Torn ligaments, stretched shoulder capsule, pins, internal and external stitches.
-Shattered my right hand twice.
-Had the claw end of a hammer stuck in my tibia (long story) I pulled it out myself (bad idea).
-pretty sure I fractured my skull, flipped over the handlebars of my bike, no helmet, woke up in the middle of the street under a car. Don’t know if he hit me. (never went to the hospital)
-torn meniscus
-cant remember anymore
I have a few but Ill post one. After a 2 story structure house fire, my team went in to overhaul(make sure fire is out and clean things up). I was using a pike pole to tear open the roof on the 1st floor. Since I was a probe, I didnt think about what could be above me. When I pulled some of the ceiling down, a damn bathtub came down right on my back. Luckily, just broke some discs. Looking back, it was foolish, scary, but funny as shit. One of the guys got a picture of it happening. Not really gruesome but entertaining.

omg
I cant even come close to some of these, but the first time i broke my arm was pretty awesome. Broke my right forearm completely in half, it was bent at about a 45 degree angle right in the middle and the pone popped out through the skin about 1 inch, creating a quarter sized hole.
Bled like a motherfucker, the gruesomeness of seeing my own arm like that made me puke, but surprisingly didnt hurt all that bad.
Broke my wrist once in 3 places, didnt look that bad but hurt WAY worse. Who’da thunk it.

They are meant to be particulary painfull. A few years ago when I was doing my first aid certificate for lifeguarding the trainer told us about a man who did that and he said he made the most horrible noise and then promptly passed out.
How did you do it?[/quote]
Have you tried dislocating your patella? I hope you didn’t I almost passed out once the adrenaline left and I could feel 100% of the pain…LOL. In soccer training, I went out to catch a cross, landed on my leg, turned, and the shoe decided to stick in the mud…
i had a pretty savage hand nail last week but I toughed it out.
I’m all better now though guys, dont worry.
I accidentally busted my car window trying to get in after locking my keys in the car. I broke it pushing down on it, which led to the glass shooting out and slicing my arm open. Bled a lot. You could see fat and muscle and stuff…got it glued up and still have a pretty gnarly, dark red scar over a year later. I have a scar on the back of my head, in the form of a bald spot, from when I split my head open on the corner of a solid wood coffee table when I was 5. I was in a rocking chair, and I rocked too far back…squared it up perfectly.
You guys have some really yucky injuries.

My most grusome injury is rather tame to most of the ones on here.
I jumped of a “treehouse” type thing that was made of scaffhold poles.
The ends of these poles were quite ragged with no rubber covers on the end.
On the way down the whole side of my right upper leg scraped down the end of a pole leaving a nice deep gash and disgusting flappy skin.
Jumping of things were not on the menu for a while after that.[/quote]
Yep. Kept the metal plate on my key chain. Anytime I consider doing something dumb I just look at that. Usually takes the wind out of my sails.
The image of your flappy skin is pretty nasty mate.

Wow. That makes mine look like a walk in the bloody park,
I’ve broken over 50 bones this year.
Oh, not in me…in other people.
Damn what do you guys do in your daily life ? =D
I had some injuries but nothing to the extent of some of the people on here 
- Got a hole in my head when riding a bike, got out of control swirled down the road and hit a metal construction.
- Elbows to the eye socket caused me to get a nice gash and a pretty cool scar.
- Torn the ligament in my right elbow.
I bounced my way through school at a “high end” nightclub.
So, I’ve got a laundry list.
- Shot through the left thigh.
- Broken right foot from getting stomped on with Doc Martins.
- Caught the tip of a switchblade in my right palm. It stuck in and came with me when I pulled my hand away from the guy. I kept it as a souvenir. lol
- Have a three inch scar running down the side of my head from a bottle getting smashed over it.
- Broke both fists. Both hands are arthritic. Broke right wrist.
- Broken ribs on more than one occasion. Bumps, bruises, etc…
Sounds excessive, but the money was good and I’m a little insane. Nothing better than working three months and then taking two off for workers comp. lol
And in a completely unrelated incident, I had my right knee blown out completely in a car wreck ten years back. Had it rebuilt, but they couldn’t repair the meniscus or cartilage. It effectively ended my career in Olympic Lifting, I just can’t dive under the bar anymore.
I dislocated my right shoulder once, playing basketball. My only serious injury while weightlifting, and I’ve been at this for 10 years, was a subarachnoid hemmorage in my brain while doing 70 lb dumbell shoulder presses. Found out I was born with a genetic blood vessel deformity that of course is extremely rare. Now I’m only allowed to “go light” or “do high reps”. Stupid neurologists…
@heyfool - Goddamn buddy, that sounds like the worst bit of luck ever. My hat’s off to you.
Just make sure you don’t pull a Jon Pall Sigmarsson and pop an aneurysm while deadlifting.

Christ. That is a laundry list. didnt getting shot put you off?!
OK, I’ll play. In order of gruesomeness:
- Had a 25 lb pipe wrench fall off an air handler unit and hit me in the face. I was wearing a hard hat, but the guy who dropped it yelled, “Hey!”, so looked up. Hit me in the side of my nose and cheek. Shattered my cheek and put my nose about two inches from where it was supposed to be - I had bone sticking out of the bridge of my nose. It didn’t knock me out, but it knocked me down.
So when I got up, I asked a worker nearby, “Dude, am I bleeding?”. His reply was, “DUDE, you need to go to the hospital, right now!”. LOL The look on his face was priceless. Three surgeries later, six months off work, a little plastic, titanium and cadaver tissue and I was once again the handsome man you all know and luv! In fact, my nose looks BETTER now than before the accident - I had broken it a number of times and you could tell!
- In prison I found myself in a rather unpleasant situation where I had just defended ONE attack so I was slightly off balance. That’s when the other guy tried to shank me in the neck. I had one option: I grabbed the knife with my hand. Sliced through all the tendons of two fingers on my right hand. I was in prison, so they did a crappy job patching me up, they didn’t bother with a tendon repair, they just stitched it up and put me in the hole for two weeks - damn near lost a finger to infection.
When I got out of prison, I had three surgeries on my hand to repair things. The tendons had retracted down to my wrist, so they had to make multiple incisions on my hand to find them and bring them back up… NOT FUN. Now I have problems deadlifting above 450 without straps cux my hand just wont hold it.
-
When I was tieing in a 200 Amp disconnect, some asshole energized the fucking wire I was working on and I got hit with 480 volts that blew a hole in both of my elbows. For years after that, you could feel a solid scar on the inside of my right forearm where the current traveled on it’s way to the hole in my elbow - it felt like a small rubber hose just under my skin. Smelled like bacon.
-
Got two screws in my shoulder and three knee surgeries from rugby.
-
Another time in Prison I got stabbed IN THE SHIN. I had just finished kicking this guys ass and while he was down, the fucker put a shank in the front of my leg! His mistake. I’ll leave it at that.
-
I got stabbed a total of five times, and some superficial cuts on a few other times - not much of it was very gruesome - just in and out leaving a small hole/scar.
-
Got hit in the side of the head with a lock in a sock (prison). Was in the rec-room watching Bay Watch and apparently I took this idiot’s seat. One minute I was watching Pamela Anderson’s tits bouncing up and down, the next minute stunned and bleeding on the floor. It didn’t knock me out, but I was hazy for a good ten seconds. I ended up shanking the guy in his face and getting put in the hole for several weeks. Almost caught a street charge on that one.
-
I’ll save the stories of all the beatings I took at the hands of my mother’s various boyfriends/husbands - suffice it to say that I’ve been beaten with everything from a shoe to a belt to an extension cord from the time I was about 4. One stepfather broke my ribs when I was eight, but my mother told the hospital I fell down the steps. That was pretty psychologically gruesome.
-
Saved the best for last: When I was 14, I made the bad decision to stick my nose where it didn’t belong. Had I minded my own business, it would have been completely avoided, but I was young and stupid and thought I was a bad ass. To make a long story short, I ended up getting STOMPED by about 15 guys. I went down fairly quickly thinking they’d get a few kicks in and get bored and leave.
Well they didn’t stop. The last thing I remember is them breaking a fence with my body, I don’t remember the rest. They broke two vertebrae in my neck, my first rib, my nose, my jaw, several fingers, cracked several other ribs, fractured my sternum (seriously, there’s like a piece missing at the tip now), my orbital socket and fractured my skull. Had about thirty stitches in my face where my teeth were through my lip and cuts around my eyebrows.
My face was so fucked up that my mother didn’t recognize me at the hospital. Now THAT’s the worst asswhuppin’ I ever took! Frankly, the “fall out” from that incident is what probably started me down the path that eventually led me to prison. It fucked me up pretty bad for a while and I seriously overcompensated (got a gun, joined a gang, etc…) to make sure it never happened again - probably to my detriment.
The rest of it wasn’t very entertaining, but I’ve broken plenty of bones and had plenty of stitches from various work/fun/stupid stuff. I’m tired of typing about it.
Some guy drugged me, slit my lower abdomen open, and pulled a 7 Lb screaming human out of me… gross…
One of my friends has a birthmark on his right pec that looks like a tilted cross.

I’ve had some messed up things happen, but one that pops out at me that’s a little different happened in second grade, gym class. We were doing back-and-forth type exercises. Skipping, running, hopping, etc. This exercise was hopping on one leg to other side of the gym.
Well, me being the outstanding physical specimen that I was, tripped at some point, fell forward, and shattered my two front “big teeth” on the top of my mouth on cemented floor. Blood and streaks of white where all across the floor… it hurt. lol[/quote]
damn hope those were baby teeth
