now i know there are people out there who have been put out of commission due to legit injuries, but i'm wondering how many of you had to take leave because of a really stupid injury? for example, i was out for over a month due to bruising in the foot from slipping out of a hot tub and catching it under a metal fence. it was a little puncture wound, but because it was on the inside of the foot on the bone, i couldn't put a ski boot on. what are your stupid injuries from this year?

When I was around 10 I ran into a kid who was laughing or somethin, cause his mouth was open,., and his tooth went into my eyebrow...... bleeding alllll over , but i convinced my dad to not bring me to the hospital because I was scared of stitches when I was younger.

Haha I like this thread a lot. Mine was PRETTY bad...

I was running to the bathroom during a commercial so i wouldn't miss any of (some show i can't remember for the life of me), i slipped on my sisters hoodie and smashed my face on a chair.

I woke up soon after with a horribly bloody nose and my forehead and nose swollen up to the size of a softball, with my left eye swollen shut. The doctor explained to me that I had broken some major vein or something and the blood/fluid was filling up my face.

THEN i got a staph infection while in the E.R. and my WHOLE face swelled up and both eyes swelled shut. After about 3 days in the hospital on some strong antibiotics, (antibiotics that had an ill effect on my ability to digest food...) i was able to go home.

All in all i missed three weeks and celebrated my birthday with my face swollen shut, and i was able to ski again after that with partial sight in my left eye.

Jumped off my trampoline to catch a frisbee, not even high or anything, barely a jump. It rained the day before so the ground was moist. My heel stuck in the soft ground just a little bit an I sprained my ankle. Then about a month later my dog pulled me down and I resprained it. Pimp I know.

Broke both wrists at the same time when I was 11.

Climbed up the pole of a basketball net and hung on the rim. I lost my grip and fell down towards my face, so I put my hands out to protect it. I apologized later to my mom for putting my hands out. haha

Ended up needing light surgery on one of em.

When i was in 5th grade we had to deliver bus notes ( notes that tell the busd river if someones not getting on or off or whatever) and i couldn't find one of the buses so i started running because I was scared they were going to leave. Turns out the stupid platform shoes that every girl in my class had at the time and running didnt mix well. I fell and broke my wrist. I still get made fun of and im a senior now.

classic example of the "oh look there are dozen's of wide open lines, all with very little consequence.  Logically, I'll look for the tightest choke I can find, and end up body0-checking a tree."

I was out hiking and we started trying to jump on rocks and not touch the ground. I took a jump that was too big, landed weird and broke and sprained my ankle.

I broke my thumb skiing.

I found out that it isn't cool to hit your poles on every tree you passed while tree skiing....

When I was about 13 a wasp flew into my eye. I blinked, which must have annoyed it, so it stung me on the eyelid. What's the first natural reaction when you get a sharp jab in the eye? Hand goes to eye. This annoyed the wasp, a lot, and it proceeded to sting the shit out of my eye. Ended up with half my face swollen up like the damn Michelin Man.

i was really hammered one night and decided to have a little skate sesh in our parking lot, there is the tiniest stair set imaginable there (2 stares, used to murk that shit) with a ledge on one side, i was feeling savvy and decided to try a little 50-50 action on the ledge, got on and lost my balance and fell maybe 2 feet, landed awkwardly, completely tore my acl and meniscus....this happened in november by the way, got 3 days in that season

i threw a lacrosse ball into the ground, expecting it to go high up into the air. it ended up hitting me in the chin, fracturing it and knocking out 3 teeth.

yeah.

this wasnt me but my little brother was next door playing baseball with his friend. for some reason there is a watermellon on the ground and the neighbor kid goes watch this, my little brother walks over to look and as he walks over the kid swings the bat at the watermellon and on his way through hits my little bprther in the mouth busting his lip and chipping a few teeth. moral of the story is never get close to someone swinging a metal baseball bat

I was walking and some random nerve got pinched in my back and killed for like a month and i could hardly normally sit for like a week.  Also bruised my ribs which is lame because it hurts to do stuff but not so much that you don't feel like doing stuff

went on a rainbow log that was only attached to the ground on the take off..so when i got to the end..my weight pushed the log downward..and when i jumped off of it..it hurled itself upward..(basically like a loaded spring) and cracked me in my face..lost my front tooth, and my face was soo mangled from the tree. Didn't loose consciousness or anything, but the doctor said it must have been equivalent to getting hit in the face with a baseball bat by a baseball player.

i only get stupid injuries

i was walking out of a hotel talking to someone, as we approached the doors i had my head turned talking and i put my hands up to push the glass door open. My friend opened the door on his side and simultaneously i push on my side. the door was locked on my side. face meets glass.
broken nose.

In HS i was a little guy and one time in the locker room one of my tall buddies comes over and says "hey steve!" grabs me and puts me over one shoulder like a sack of potatoes. In the process of lifting me he hurts his shoulder, cant hold onto my legs and drops me on my head on the concrete locker room floor.
concussion.
