Let me heat that up for you... 
Funny story. Today I was practising high jump at school. nobody was doing anything, except for a guy who stepped over the bar and another who front-flipped over the bar. It was quite low, probably not even a meter high. I boasted, "I won't only jump over the bar, but I'll jump over the safety mat!

Well, as it turns out, I wasn't full of shoot. I got my run up directly infront of the high jump setup, and leaped over the bar, and the mat. Unfortunately, I somehow managed to do a 90 degree twist in midair, and landed with my right foot out front, but I wasn't facing straight ahead, and ended up rolling my ankle, and hearing this massive crack. The teacher asked if I was okay, and I just said yeah, and started walking away (with a bit of a limp). I made it five meters before I colapsed on the grass. Another teacher saw what happened, and started walking over but she was far away, so I just sat there in agony. They sent for an icepack and eventually a wheelchair. I got sent home from school that day at about 11:40am (I rolled my ankle at 10:30) and by the time school finished I had already seen my GP, had an X-Ray, and seen my GP again. My GP said I had damaged my lateral ligament in my right ankle, and my propriocecption may be impaired as well, so she booked my in for physio.

I was laughing the whole time.

Anybody else got any such stories?

Ha, wow, man. That sucks.

I got one: in 6th grade I tripped over a tennis net, chipped a tooth and ripped open my chin.

I don't think that's a splinter, I think that's impalement...

One time, I got so angry with something (I can't even remember what it was), that I kicked against a metal thing so hard that my foot was heavily contused.

I could barely walk for 3 weeks.

There was a girl who was trying to break my finger and i kicked out in self-defense. I might as well have kicked a birck wall. Her leg was so hard i briused my toe and broke half of my toenail off. The bruise lasted a year and a half.

I've gotten plenty of injuries during my days. One when I was 9, I lost a finger, 8 years later, I lost another finger from the same hand. This is one of the very few things ever happened to me, that I cannot joke about later.

When I was about 12 years old I was really good at high jump. In fact, I was the best in my class, maybe the best among the other similar-year-old kids because I had practice it so much. Then, one day at school I raised the high jump bar much further up than I had jumped before. I guess I wanted to see if I was even better at it and wanted to brag to my friends that I could actually jump that high.

Well, it all looked very good until I was in the middle of the jump and REGRET THAT I TRIED, causing me to bend my arm backwards (I don't know why I did it, I guess I got freaked out) to ease the fall. Since my arm was leaning backwards and was like twisted in the jump the bone above my elbow snapped and I had to carry a cast for a few weeks.

I didn't continue high jumping after that.

Why did being mad about a guy make you fall down the stairs?

Does it count that I (didn't mean to...) but pushed my brother into the back of a go cart and it took his finger off.. I was 7 at the time - We told him for years he needed to watch it closely cause it would grow back - hes still waiting (but has since also lost another on the same hand and mawled a third... poor fella) So Skull don't feel bad - you have a way to go yet to match him... but do watch your hand closely, because it still MAY grow back hehe.
I also have gold in my front tooth because my mum smaked me a beaut when i was 11 and chipped my front two teeth. My (same) brother says when I die he is gunna take my tooth and sell it as payback for his finger

@Skull - did you ever try to find the two you lost?? Surely they're somewhere hehehe

In memory of Skull. 
There was a time when I accidentally made myself recognizable to an anti-virus program, and that time when I accidentally hacked into an infected computer with one of those delete-random-things viruses. I barely made it out "alive" you could say. I'm still trying to rebuild my voice synthesizer program and Latin-to-Palestinian translator.

One when I was 9, I lost a finger, 8 years later, I lost another finger from the same hand.

Dude, how do you manage to type well with that kind of injury, Skull?

Nup - Back of the go cart munched it to shreds so nah they couldn't. They tried with the second one but it wouldn't "take" Hes a woodcarver/bronze artist now so it's funny when he holds em up and says he slipped with the tools lol

LOOK UPON MY DEFORMED FACE! 
Once upon a time, my best friend cut open my finger with scissors. I got to stay in the school nurses/secretaries office and did nothing. I was 12. I see him sometimes.

I once also tripped on uneven paving at school, and grazed myself quite heavily. I got to stay in the school nurses/secretaries office and did nothing except eat lunch and make a mess. I was 7 or 8.

My sister dared me that I couldn't hold onto a burning piece of origami paper for more than a few seconds. Turns out I couldn't, and all the fingers on my left hand got burned. Something like that anyway.

I've learned from this thread not to kick things.

If you have Windows XP, go into Speech in control panel, and do a test with "soy".

This is Finland. And Finland sucks mostly when it comes to hospitals and stuff.

I've learned it during all the years. Sometimes I still try to use the finger I lost afterwards still, even though it's over 3 years of that.

When I was about 7, my sister and I were outside playing, and my mom called because our favourite show was on. I ran home, but lost my footing and some small pebbles and asphalt chippings from the road went right into my knee. I had to go to the doctor, who removed them with a pair of tweezers. I still have a scar the size of about a penny on my knee. Worst thing of all was: I couldn't see my fav show after all

Wow, quite a few horror stories.

Um, I sort of (unintentionaly) injured someone. Back in elementary school, at recess I ran over to my friend who for some reason ran from me. I must have been like 8 or 9, I didn't have alot of friends. I don't know if he was screwing around or mad at me or what, so I ran after him to talk. Poor kid ran straight into the support pole for the slide. He had to get a few stitches on his forehead/ above his brow I think it was. I always felt bad for that, and still don't know why, (or don't remember) why he didn't want to play with me.

...I also kneed my boyfriend in the groin trying to jump into his arms...but that's kind of his fault for suggesting it. (We were walking in the woods and were on different ground levels walking down a slope.)

Edit- Man, Skull I'm sorry you went through that. My bf's grandfather lost (I think it was) 2 fingers on his right hand while doing his woodworking hobby. He still made stuff though, which I thought was great since he loves it, but I think it made it much more difficult to paint some of his creations. I hope your still able to do things you enjoy.

MsDink- It's cool that you're brother can joke with you about the accident, wanting to sell your teeth and such.

Let me heat that up for you... 
When I was in grade 2, we were doing a run in PE, and at the end of the run we had to go inside an outdoor basketball court (which had that criss-crossing wire fence all around it) and the gate was made of teh same stuff (the whole fence is probably 2.5m high) anyway, this guy was right behind me, and when I ran into the basketball court, i slammed the gate shut behind me, and hit the guy following me. turns out that the gate had a free stray wire links, and one of them hit him in the cheeck and nearly impaled him in the eye. I still remember the nasty bruise he had on his cheek and how close he was to losing his eye.

Some day I'll finish my mod... Some day... 

Once, when I was 10, some friends and me where chasing each other into the school's corridor, one of my friends crashed into a book shelf and the shelf fell over one of my friend's head. That wasn't fun, until he said dazed and sobbing "Oh! My brain! You've hurt my brain!"

But I've never got seriously injuried unafortunely (or not! )
