cheers sam,
hmmm worst injury hey. apart from the many broken toes and cutting myseld many times. i haven't had many major injuries. worst would have been when i was sitting on a skateboard and was kicked in the ribs. this left me with bruised ribs for many weeks and resulted in numerous asthma attacks from the pain. ouch
Bring on the Marlin!!!
Nearly had my foot chopped/crushed right through when I used to work in a bluemetal quarry.We were shifting a conveyor system one friday arvo and it decided to shear off some bolts.I had a huge section of conveyor pinning me to the ground and I'm not ashamed to say that I cried like a baby-incredible pain!After things settled down a bit I sorta went into 'business' mode giving directions to my boss and another employee to get some chains hooked up to lift it with the front-end loader.Went into shock on the way to the hospital.Really pissed off as aside from the injury I had plans to go fishing on the weekendWhen I hear about horrific injuries suffered by whatever means I really think about the agony the poor unfortunate must have gone through.Regards,Darren...A bit ironic that it was actually a safety guard made of angle iron that collected me
haha sam my smashed up finger wouldn't be my worst but currently i have a smashed up finger courtesy of a VX Commodore B pillar and Door meeting.
My feet slipped off the foot pegs of my CR250 when i was coming over a set of doubles a few years ago. ended up landing with both legs straight and compound fracturing both of them just below my knees. took 6 months to recover and still haven`t got back on a bike.
When I was a wee fella living in Rockhampton, someone (who shall remane nameless) and myself at the age of 5 were playing in the backyard....doing what boys do, pretending to be camping etc. Anyway, this particular person was putting up the tent and took a disliking to me riding my bike in circles around it as he feared I would hit one of the guide ropes. He lost his temper, took a pocket knife from his pocket, opened it and through it at me. The knife pinned me in the corner of my left eye some 1.5mm from my eyeball itself. The doctor who I was seen by at the hospital simply couldn't believe that the knife had missed my eyeball by less than the width of the piece of metal that comprised the blade. Took quite a while to heal, and was quite an experience for a 5 year old - something which I certainly do not wish to relive.

Snapped achillies tendon or fractured skull.
Neither were much fun.

One day, I kicked my big toe really hard. It hurt lots and it even went red.
Just jokes
I've been beat around a fair bit for my age but still never broken. Mostly due to my stupidity, running my mouth, fast cars, footy and boxing. Starting to feel the old man aches and pains at 27 yr old. Walked out of 2 cars I drove around poles with only slight whiplash and glass stuck in me. Concussed over 8 times- hence gave up boxing and footy. Put my knee about 50 degrees the wrong way and popped blood vessels in my head and eye. No real permanent damage or broken bones, hence my freinds call me cement. I think I've learned my lesson and hope got most of it out of my system. Still, very minor compared to lotsa peoples injuries, and I still have my health, and most of my brain.
During 1999 I was resuscitated by life guards (don't surf big waves anymore), got stabbed by angry teenagers outside Zillmere 7/11, had a head on car crash and my house caught fire in the middle of the night.
I was on a first name basis with a few hospital staff. Since then, I think the only other pain I have endured is losing a good sized barra.
well mine is a goodun and still get my own skin crawling to this day and with our modern medicine i dout i would be whole
was working at a soil quarry in sydney and we were doing all the stuff for the games as well as all the other stuff
well i was working 60+hours a week sometimes up to 75hours
(good money but no life what so ever just sleep and work)
well this on day i just set up the screen and stacker to make some more soil mix and had to adjust the convory belt
well cut a long story short my right arm was sucked into the convor and snapped (not broke) my arm in three major places and a few minor little cracks
well with no one around me for about 1km i somehow managed to pull my self crear (mind you i had my whole arm twisted around the drum till my sholder) i then had to walk some 600+meter with my arm dangling to get help
well i don't remeber too much more till later in the afternoon and it was then i found out just how bad it was and their was alot of talk of to try and save the arm or to take it off (i was in favor of takeing it off at that point and that was even with morphine) well i was lucky that the hospital they took me too was alos the hospital where australias leading bone doctor dude works
he was able to keep my arm on my but that was only after 10hours for the first time loseing all moverment in my arm for 7 mounths and then another 6 hour surgary to put another pin in
but now it's been 5 years and now i'm starting to get on with life and slowly getting strength in my right arm
i also got all movement back and only now have a small dead patch in my arm
would never wish that on anyone but i still count myself luckyi might not have my arm or even worst
COMPOUND Fracture ? That is when the ends of the bone are sticking out through the skin right?Originally Posted by Nathanrb4
Worst thing that happened to me was breaking my leg and ankle in a head on with a car on my 650 Yamie back when I was 18. Had a few bikes since , even broke my leg again on one (same leg).
Boats now , no bikes.
I guess mine would have to be a concert related injury. The result of a bad crowd surfing decision and landing on the back of my neck/shoulder (on the metal floor grate at the front of the mosh no less). I managed to popcorn every bone in my shoulder, get drunk and catch the next few bands
It all healed up .. sort of .. who needs to raise their arm above their head anyway ?
vort-fu
I wanna hear lucky phills story? dunno about his injuries but heard he's had some pretty close calls?

Anyone know the waterfall and the cliffs at Picnic Point in Toowoomba.
Some drunken idiot ran over the edge one night after vaulting the fence and landed on the rocks below.
Not one broken bone but some quite severe concussion that resulted in memory lapse of a day or so - apparantly.
