I remember riding home from work on my pushbike, I finished work at 11pm each night so by the time I got home it was midnight & very dark. I rode along the beachfront cause they have a great path to do so & nobody was there at that time of night.... or so I thought this night.
I was riding home as usual (before my injury & before my weight loss so I was 90+ kg on a bike) and I was reaching into my basket to get my midnight ride snack...a cherry ripe...... was not watching the path.... hit a small pole head on. Crushed the SOLID metal basket & went flying onto the path..... hurt myself kinda bad & wrecked the bike. No big deal..... except I did it in front of a couple who were making nookie beside the path. He ran over to see if I was ok. I put on a brave face and said "yep all good" and then hobbled off the 2km home I had left. I flew a good 10 meters that night before I hit the ground. Hurt my hands enough I could not work for a week (I worked in a supermarket as a checkout chick) and could hardly walk cause I got my knees, wrists, head, nose, face & even feet...... hurt so bad it was painful to do anything.
Had to buy a new bike, basket & pride.
did you at least find the cherry ripe? :flowerforyou:
No, I have no idea where that landed
bummer that..... I could have used the wrapper to sob into on my way home hahaa 0 -
Broken fingers playing basketball
Ripped chest muscles on the bench press (hospital thought it was a heart attack so had full xray, ECG and bloods and spent half a day in resusc)
lots of twisted ankles from Paintballing (plus the obvious generic welts and bruises on a weekly basis)
I dont think I got any kind of injury from my 4 years eating lots and playing the xbox! Maybe my liver took a bit of damage..0 -
Skate-a-thon this year as a fundraiser for my roller derby league.
Went the wrong way and ended up going down a spiral bike track from a bridge over a road to under the bridge. You can't stop well outside on skates so I flew under the bridge and tripped up on a huge crack between pavers.
Kicked myself in the left upper thigh with my right skate and the bruise is only just fading. From the pain in my ankle I'm lucky I didn't break it.
I'm also really lucky I skate fully geared up. I also tore my sock with doing it along with a huge gouge in my knee pad cap.
But I'm always covered in bruises and scrapes. I've bruised my tail bone and had a hematoma in my butt cheek.
I've seen breaks, tears and sprains way worse than mine. A dislocated jaw that she played the other half of the game was a recent one....0 -
ok so my arm checks out ok, its just a hematoma, and i have bruised ribs on the same side so they rub together. lol!
so I got away pretty lightly really!

FAR out. yoga is more dangerous than i thought!0 -
Hyperextended my left knee three times, this last time resulting in being on couch duty for 4 weeks. Still recovering and it's been 3 months. >.<0

OMG. that sounds really bad. I can just imagine walking down the street and it happening to me! how did you do it?0 -

It's actually kind of funny now that it's gotten better.
I was starting a run with my dog (50lb border collie/shepherd) and was looking down at my phone to change a song. I started running, she bumps into my right leg, like we're talking just f***ing taps it, I lose my balance and step with my left leg. My left knee bends inward, I step with my right again and still can't get my balance, step with my left too far and fall forward, hyperextending it, hearing a pop over my head phones, and somersaulting to the ground like a failed ninja. it swelled immediately and I ended up getting a ride from the postal lady back to my apartment. 4 weeks later, I'm off couch duty and finally Igor limping around.
The other times were minor-first was playing tennis and it took half a day to heal (I guess I was more bending back in my young age haha!) and then a second time during a snow storm. My foot stepped through a foot print expecting some slipperiness from the snow, but actually was concrete. So my foot stuck and I fell forward, hyperextending it. 0 -
I'm pretty clumsy and pretty active (the two are a bad combination!)......
My winning *fail* was breaking my shoulder in March this year.... really messes with the exercise regime. Had a really unlucky fall off my bike (on a cycle route, no-one else involved). I am a qualified National Standards cycle trainer, a MTB trail leader and a British Cycling L2 coach..... oops!

I was showing off how i was finally flexible enough at pole dancing to be able to do a left leg split. As i went down, I heard a "pop"!. Torn ligament. Good times.0

I'll be honest, I was pretty proud of that bruise. Never had one like it before (and don't wish to have one like it ever again!). Took 8 days to come out and then lasted for about 2 weeks. I still have a bruise on my leg from the accident which was 7 months ago!

during a crossfit competition two weekends ago, I was doing 24" box jumps and was trying to go too quickly (to WIN, you know!) and I ended up smashing my shin on the side of the box when I didn't quite make it to the top. I ended up not finishing the competition and instead visiting the ER for 4 internal stitches and 7 external stitches. A week an a half later, I'm just getting off of crutches and am slowly letting my torn muscle heal. No more crossfit for another month

Isolated abdominal side crunches at the gym. Was going too low on the side to side and I was using a 6kg ball.
Gave my self a nice little hernia and groin muscle pull!
The hernia is not bad enough for an operation (as per my doctor). So, now I need to be careful about every exercise & class.
Nothing but stupid tax!0 -
I'm a clumsy clut(as my dad loves to say often). I fell off my bike dozens of time growing up(most bumps, bruises & scrapes and a few face plants which are always worse when wearing plastic framed glasses. I sat down on a soccer ball and fell over, dr thought it was just a sprain until they x-rayed weeks later only to find a fracture healing. My friends and I were playing around a house that was being built and I decided to cross the back section that was cut out for the back door. My friend put up his hands for me to walk over. That's the last thing I remember, but I busted the back of my head open on the bricks. Ah, the recklessness of youth.
Of course this morning, I went to re-tuck my 3 yr old in and just plain fell over and sprained(I think) my wrist.I still did my workout this morning, but took it easy on my right arm.0 -
I was doing burpees into pullups, the pullup bar is a little high for me, so I really had to jump. Not Smart. I hyperextended my arm
and had a complete tear of my Distal Bicep Tendon. Required surgery, and was in a series of different casts for months. I couldn't
lift for 6 months, my arm looked like a twig, and I had to start from scratch.
I can still do pullups, but I'll never jump up again !0 -

I decided to try a new preworkout one time...they gave me a sample at the place to try it first. So I took it before my workout....it worked great! Too great, I kept on thinking "I can do more, I'm not even tired yet." I ended up tearing my pec and had to go to the doctor....sucked....0

I ran for the first time on a treadmill today.And I was **** scared!! But I survived! . I've been doing cardio via bike so there's no impact.. But now that I can run (properly) I may give a go more often! Running sucks massive ball bags tho. I really take my hat off to anyone that does it, coz they like it.. how do I add a pic here (sorry I'm new!) my guess is I can't do it off my iPad and I need to log onto my pc??0
