    I have broken my:
    - right ankle
    - 3 middle bones in rt foot (completely in half)
    - 2 ribs
    - left wrist (twice)
    - right leg above knee
    - several toes

    Also have torn the cartilege in rt knee, all the ligaments/tendons in rt ankle, ACL in rt knee.

    Weird side note....my dad and his 2 brothers all broke their nose at least 4 times and I have never broken mine once.

    The week before kindergarten, I broke (pretty badly..the bone was sticking out) my right arm while roller skating. On my 11th birthday, I was pogo-sticking (birthday present) and broke my left wrist. In 5th grade, I broke my left ankle 3 consecutive times (like, within a week of having the cast off) by running. (And yet, stupidly, I now run multiple times a week..haha). Also I'm sure I've broken a finger and a toe, but I never went to the hospital for those.
    Thats some suckish luck you got therrrr.
    The only one I went in for was the ankle since I couldn't walk LOL. But the nose and other things I just knew were broken and left it. : D.
    Good luck with your runs!
    Lol, I know..always with the bad luck. My mom didn't believe me the first time I broke my ankle because I could still walk (with a pretty pronounced limp). She said "you just sprained it, you're not even crying." So...when she wasn't looking I hit myself extra hard in the ankle so that I would cry (sick, I know, but worth it). Nothing was more satisfying than when the doctor came out with the xray to say it was broken.
    Haha that makes sense!
    Aw dangit, I should of done that for when my brother tore the ligaments in my wrist when I was 12(it hurt really bad), as punishment my mom wouldn't take me in to get it checked out(he could of broke it for all we know...: /)
    Hope your lucks get better as you get older : D

    pinkie toe - 3 times (being stepped on my horses)
    3 fingers - horse pulling away from me
    2 bones in the top of my foot - horse tried to kick the horse I was riding and kicked my foot instead
    tailbone - FIVE TIMES. FIVE!!! you guessed it - getting unloaded by *the same horse* 4 times, and once by my daughter as she was on her way out.

    Moral of the story - horses and babies break bones :tongue:

    1- Left arm- fell out of a tree when I was like 8 or so

    2- Left ankle - Playing paintball, stepped in woodchuck hole while running full out for a tree line.

    3- 4 front teeth, fractured jaw in 3 places, fractured right arm, broken right wrist - Fell off a cliff while on a night attack when I was in the army. 20 foot drop and I landed face first on my machinegun which broke my face, wrist/arm I think broke from me hitting the escarpment I landed on. This break sucked as I had to march out a good 4 miles while carrying my pack and my assistant gunners M4 carbine while he carried he machinegun. Dont know what hurt worse- my wrist or the 4 broken teeth with exposed roots.

    The teeth make me cringe :D. Well, for all that pain, it's a good story for the grandkids, right?

    Have fallen two stories into a boatswain's locker, got my arm tangled in the ladder.
    Have fallen off several horses while training them.

    a metal plate and 6 pins later, airport security is a blast!

    I feel you, after 2 plates and 8 screws and pins later it's exciting to see what sounds I hear :wink:
    I'm flying tomorrow, so maybe the beeping will wake me up in the morning :laugh:

    I've broken both of my pinky toes from getting them caught on corners/furniture (I never wear shoes around the house, no different as a reckless klutzy kid haha), the first time I went to the doctor but they said there was nothing they could do for it so I didn't even have it checked out the second time... Both of my little toes have kind of a weird shape but I don't really notice it...

    My jaw was slightly fractured due to pressure during my impacted wisdom teeth removal surgery... Nothing major, I ended up taking antibiotics for almost a month though and sometimes my jaw is a little sore for no reason.

    Otherwise no breaks, I've sprained both of my ankles in the past, the right one twice so it's a little weak. I'm really cautious as an adult because I can't afford to break anything on my arms/hands being an art student, if something runs the risk of broken fingers I just sit out, lol.

    1. Fractured skull at age 6. Whacked in the head by a #1 Wood. (SOME people say this explains a lot. :grumble: )
    2. Nose 4 times. Swingset, football and fighting.
    3. Open compound fracture of the Left femur requiring rod placement. The bone popped through a brand new pair of heavy Levis.
    4. Open compound fractures Right Tibia and Fibula with Kneecap shattered into > 8 pieces. Plate and 11 screws there...
    5. 12, yes, twelve teeth. (All of the ones in the front.
    The legs and teeth were the result of my PoS Pinto hitting a 1980 Cadillac in the engine compartment at 60mph. Shortened the car by three feet. Little butthead tried to beat me across a highway intersection, then decided he couldn't make the crossing, so slammed on his brakes. I still occasionally dream about it and can remember most of it vividly to this day. I don't have issues with airports, but if I am laying in direct sunlight for long enough, the plate in my shin warms up uncomfortably..
    Is that enough??

    Sternum: I went over the handlebars of a motorbike at 70mph and had the bike hit me on the back of my head; slamming my head forward onto my chest, breaking the sternum with my chin.

    Nose: by an SUV (that's a very long story)

    Elbow: was side-swiped by an idiotic blind car driver and was knocked off the motorbike I was on.

    14 through various falls, fights, stupid decisions, car/bike crashes, and run away mules. I should prolly be more careful, though it has been almost three months since the last one.
