I'm kind of curious and I'm sure there is some funny stories out there. My shining moment was being one of two sophomores to make our varsity soccer team only to break my collar bone doing a bicycle kick in warm ups. Face palm much. ++ k for good ones

Two good ones here.

Running at recess way back when. Slipped on ice. Snapped tibia and fibula. Foot pointing backwards.

Skating at the rink. Jumped into snowbank. Turned out to be ice. Broke growth plate in wrist.

i was cliffjumping earlier in the summer, and i tried a frontflip but i overrotated just a tad, and when i hit the water my chest mount blew off the gopro and it came up and hit me square in the chin. SO that plus the impact of the water made me feel like someone put my head in a doorframe and slammed it shut. I had three cuts on my chin from the impact that were bleeding pretty bad for the rest of the day. Yet the worst part of the whole ordeal is that my gopro sank to the bottom of the river.

one thing is certain, and that is that we here at NS pride ourselves on being a bunch of stupid motherfuckers

Last day of school, we found a shopping cart around and decided it was a good idea to ride it down a hill.  Seeing my friends do it, I thought I should have a go at it and it tipped and I broke my arm.

Two days ago after a trampsesh:

I was going home, and I was gonna sit down on a chair next to the trampoline to take on my shoes.
But I didn't know that the thing that holds up the chair, was down, so the chair collapsed and I hit my tailbone on an iron screw.
Luckily I didn´t break anything, but I still can't walk properly. Can't jump on the trampoline in one more week though. Trust me, it's much more painfull than you think.

was driving with my friend, and i saw a girl i knew that i was currently getting with, my hormones took control of my brain and made me forget i was in a moving vehicle, opened the car door at 30 mph and jumped out. I impressed the girl at-least with how much blood i could loose from my knees

I was about 5 or 6 years old and I was at one of those tall counter seats.  Being a little guy I decided to actually try to climb down the 3 little rungs on the seat...Having shifted all my weight to one side of the chair I fell backwards onto my head and got a concussion.. doesnt end there..the chair came falling down after me.  At first I caught the chair but out of sheer panic I instantly tried to throw it back up..it fell down at me a second time and It fell on my face and I broke my nose..blood splattering everywhere.

learning gainers at a pool last week, after about 25 attempts landing on my stomach and head, i really fucked up and landed on my back, then my legs came down and my knee hit my nose really hard and bled a ton in the pool. then i climbed out and bled all over a towel for an hour. and my nose is still bent from it and may require surgery to get it straightened out....


and another time (5 yrs ago) my sister threw a fork at me from across the table because i was flicking my lucky charms at her and the fork got stuck into my head.

I have 2 stories.

Tore a ligament in my knee climbing a tree. I was hanging upside down and it just popped. Sucked.

Second one I was doing some community service in 8th grade. This super sexy girl was working with me and we were just flirting and what not. It ended up in a paint fight (HAWT!! I KNOW!!) and she was chasing me flicking paint off a paintbrush at me. I tripped, fell, and dislocated my finger SO bad. I looked at it and my finger was literally a "Z". I couldn't bear looking at a fucked up finger so I just squeezed it and pooped it back into the socket, but fractured the socket when I squeezed it in.

Sparknotes: Not all paint fights with smokin hawt chicks are fun.

I was at Castle mountain one year and there was a big air comp going on... I was just there to ski, but I rode down beside the jump and then just hopped off this little like 2 foot drop beside the run, landed a little backseat, caught my arm in the snow and dislocated my shoulder.

Hurt so fucking much, ski patrol had to come, I had to get driven to the hospital, and to make it worse, all the coaches thought that I hit the jump when it was closed and just ate shit and dislocated it, but it wasnt even that cool.

My little cousins were over and they wanted to go play at the park. So I took them up there and one of them wanted to go on the slide but she said she was scared (she's only three at the time). I said i would go down with her but at the top my arm got stuck in one of the bars that you hold onto. Anyway hyper extended my elbow tore all the ligaments up all from a kiddie slide :/

a kid i know managed to get both his wrists caught in those things you use to push yourself at the top of a slide, they're yellow in this picture, and broke both of them at the same time. he had two casts, it was pretty funny.
