      Working in a sand warehouse, thought I'd take a short cut off a raised platform by hitching a lift on the forks of a forklift.

      Unfortunately, being behind a ton of sand bags on a pallet already on the forks, the driver didn't see me (or perhaps he *did* see me , although he swore he hadn't ) and spun the forklift round like a top.

      I automatically grabbed a sandbag, to prevent myself flying off, but did anyway and dropped six feet, landing on one foot, holding a hundredweight sandbag.

      Not sure if I broke anything, but my ankle swelled up slightly and hurt like hell and I was hobbling around for a month. I didn't go to the doctor though, because there's sod all they can do in a situation like that, and I hate queueing and all their stupid questions and forms anyway.

      The same ankle still aches occasionally in damp weather.

        Oooh, let me see, broken my nose 14 times, the 2 middle fingers on both hands numerous times, big toe on right foot was left as a red smear on a road once. Broke my right leg in numerous places and had it cut off, beat that!

              Nose every week or so playing rugby, ankle playing football, toes playing cricket. Never felt better since I packed it all in and got fat and fit.

              Forgot ribs playing rugby, defo the most painful, my career didn't last long after that.

                    well,

                    -doctors broke and reset my legs in 4 seperate places shortly after birth
                    -broke my finger chasing a girl into the toilets in junior school, the witch slammed the door shut
                    -cut off my middle finger after trying to sit on a concrete garden ornamental toadstool, the top came off, i tried to catch it, an 8 yr old doesnt have much chance with a 1.5mx0.5m toadstool shaped block of concrete, luckily some micro-surgeon was visiting the town i lived in for a conference, was woken up and sowed it back on, now fully working and everything
                    -cracked my skull on a metal post, there were 2 posts shaped like pq placed there to slow cyclists down, being 10 I simply ducked my head below the handlebars and zoomed underneath, until i didnt duck enough one day
                    -cracked a rib with my own fist last year while snowboarding, it was a white out and I was on a black run, the day after i misjudged a turn and gave myself concussion.. eventful trip
                    -cracked another rib unknowingly 2 years ago which resulted in my lung being punctured and thus re-inflated twice, I still walked the 2 miles to work though using 1 lung, i thought i had a cold coming and thats why i was out of breath

                    i think thats about it i think, 9 breaks.. do i win?

                      When I broke my leg it was during a rugby game... I was gang tackled and twisted it a bit. It hurt a wee bit. I had hairline fractred the fibia. But I had a date that night and you are supposed to walk off injuries.. so I got up and put my wieght on it to see if I could carry on....

                      ...of course as I had hairline fractured the Fibia.. and then I put my weight on it... I promptly sunk 2 inches.. compound fracturing both tibia and fibia and they both went in opposite directions and blood pissed everywhere as a the bone came out fo my leg front and back... ended up in a toe to groin cast for 5 months.

                      You cant walk off a broken leg is the lesson I learnt...
