Title: Grievous Bodily Harm
Post by: Weirdo on August 06, 2009, 10:51:42 AM
Just thought I'd share this.

Yesterday, I was out with a bunch of freinds playing by a river with a baseball. Naturally, the baseball found its way into this river, and decided to lodge itself on some twigs in the middle. With a baseball bat to help reach it, this wasn't too much of a problem. However, one of my freinds thought it was a good idea to lob a brick at it, to try and dislodge it. Unfortunatly, He did this just as I was leaning forwards with the bat, and we kinda met in the middle.

It felt like I'd just been hit by a football (sorry, soccer ball=P) and I thought my freinds were joking about all the blood untill I felt it trickle down my arm. And on to my new, white shirt. My freinds were all really worried and wanted to call an ambulance, and I just stood there laughing at it all. I wasn't unconcious or concussed or acting any stranger than usual, so I knew it wasn't anything too serious.

I did end up in A&E though, where a doctor got a good look and saw my skull through the three inch gash the brick had given me. But no skull damage and now I've got seven stitches for it. So yeah, I had a fun day yesterday.

__

Wow, I've just written a novel =P
Well done if actually read it all though. The point of this thread is for everyone to post stories about any significant injurys they've experianced and would like to share. Sharing the stories that is, not the injuries...

So, step right up...

Last winter i went skiing and attempted a 360 off a jump. At the 180 mark, the front tip of my ski caught the ground and smashed me nose first into the hard compacted snow/ice. Broke my nose and opened up the skin. Yeah, I hit it so hard my sin just split. Both my skis were down the hill, so I had to slip and slide down this hill with blood pouring down my face. When I got to the bottom, my father was there and i rode on he back of his skis to the complete other side of the mountain/hill/resort where they told us we needed a doctor. So I had to sit in the car for 45 minutes driving to the hospital from the ski resort and finally got my pain numbed.

And that's my second worst injury.


First was in kindergarten when I fell off a tree and cracked my forearm in half. not just a crack, it split into two.

I fractured my skull when a teacher fell ontop of me.

...The head said I caused the accident, and the cracked, wet and slidey playground didn't have anything to do with it.

A few incidents later I was moved to some kinda "private" school.

I also had one side of my face shredded by a brick wall. (****ing cunts..)

I think I'm one of the few members never to broken a bone.

Any way, one day the power went dead in my eighth grade year. A majority (my self included) were playing basketball. Then, a rather competitive teacher pushed me aside to get the our teams ball. I ended up shredding my knee on the asphalt. Not fun.

Well, when I was 3 I think I was running around like a maniac and hit a corner on a counter top right at eye-level, and got some gash in my forehead. Had stiches and still have a small scar above my left eye.

When I was 9 I sprained my ankle, but that's about it thankfully.

@pys: it hit me flat side, luckily. It didn't actually see how big (or soft) it was,  but it was big enought to leave me with seven stitches.

@R1: I've never broken any bone either. Before this the worst I had was shredded knees aswell. Not fun indeed.

Two years ago I was playing hockey. It was about 20 seconds into the game and I got a breakaway. One of their defensemen caught me and tackled me from behind. I slid into the net and crushed my left index finger between me and the goal post. I literally turneed the tip to dust, cracked the middle bone in half and dislocated it where the finger meets the hand. I then had to wait in the ER for three hours while people with injuries such as headaches, hip pain, and twisted ankle got medical attention before me.

Not fun at all >.>

MY junior year of Highschool I was at a  indoor track and field meet. I was running a 200 meter dash and I was winning then all of a sudden half way around the track I herd something snap, i couldent belive how loud it was to it was like a baseball bat hitting a ball lol. So obvoiusly I stopped running, I didn't think much of it but I was upset I coulden't finish the relay. Thought I pulled a muscle. When i got to the doctors the next day he said I was running so fast and pulled the muscle in my leg so hard that it broke off a part of my left hip:cry:. I couldent believe it I played football(american) for 2 years and never got injured but I break my  hip from a non contact sport lol? Now thats crazy. I was on cruches for like 3 months. It really sucked but My senior year I was so much faster. I ran the 200 meter dash in 26 seconds my junior year, My senior year I was running it in 23 seconds so I guess it all worked out in the long run:-D

My knee pops out of its socket occasionally due to pressure in them from developing arthritis. It usually happens when I'm running so I end up collapsing on the ground and not being able to put any weight on it for 5 minutes to a day or two depending on how bad it is. Last winter I was snowboarding on a WalMart snowboard (the kind without bindings, you just stick your boot in the loop) at a local golf course with a huge hill. About halfway down I went off a jump and attempted a 180, when I landed my left knee gave out and I collapsed on the ground, this being one of the worst I had dealt with in a while. Instead of helping me and knowing just what had happened, my brother decided it would be a much better idea to come run me over in a snowtube. Then I had to climb up a hill at a 30 degree angle that was basically a sheet of ice on one leg. Needless to say, I slipped and fell several times during the 15 minute climb that would usually take 30 seconds. I landed on the same knee almost every time. By the time I made it home it had swollen up to twice its regular size, and I could not move it. The swelling didn't go down for two days, and now that knee occasionally cracks when I bend it after not moving it for a while.

When I was young (4ish?), I was at a local pizza place which had an outdoor playground for children. Well, on this playground was a merry-go-round, and I had no one to push it around for me, so I kept running it around to get it going and jumping on. At one point I lost grip on the bars, and went flying. I flew for a good 10 feet, and at the end of that 10 feet just happened to be the corner of a brick wall. I layed there for a couple minutes bleeding until an employee of the place came out and got me off the ground and took me to my parent inside.
 
So I was taken to the hospital and ended up with 15 stitches (I think). It wasn't long that the playground was removed from the pizza place. Apparently I wasn't the only one who had been hurt on it.

When I was in the 2nd grade, my friends and I were playing 'refrigerator tag' on the pavement. I was running after my friend called 'pizza'. I tripped and fell. my knee was bleeding heavily and I'm pretty sure my bone could almost be seen. All my friends were in total shock. I was taken out of school and taken to the doctor's office. It was the most painful moment of my life!

well when i was about 6 or 7, my kindergarten year of school, i had tried for the whole year to get the nurse to administer me an icepack so that i could feel special. i tried and tried and failed and failed, until one day when i was at the top of a slide and fell off onto a concrete pad. i was actually happy because i could get the ice patch until one of my classmates saw me and told me i was bleeding. it ruined my whole day and quest for an ice pack.lol
then another time when i was about 18 mos. old i was told i used to watch my grandma open a sticky file cabinet door so i decided to give it a try and it blew me over and busted my forehead wide open. i had to have a butterfly stitch to put it back together and still have the scar today.

Once I was hit by a car on my bike on a construction road and my leg were torn up because the pavement was being worked on. I lost so much blood that every time I bent my knees my skin would start to tear itself because the bone is tightening it up.

The mortality rate of this forum is extremely high.

The worst thing that ever happened to me was passing out while running to the couch (long story). I had to go through a 90 degree turn through a door but I had passed out, so I was pretty much on momentum. I slammed into the door frame so hard that I took a half inch long chunk out of it and got knocked out. I had to go to the hospital, but surprisingly enough I did no permanent damage to myself. I have a very hard head, I guess.

Whats the cause of the passing out? Is it a medical reason or were you just wasted?. I have to say taking out half inch of a door frame is crazy:-D. Well at least you were passed out because it would of hurt 10 times more if you were concious;)

When i was 8, i was playing cops and robbers on my bike, i was going a bit too fast when i fell off the seat, my leg got caught in the chain, and i did about 10 barrel rolls. I was bleeding all over.

That was probably the most hurt i've ever gotten in my life.

About 3 years ago, a former roommate and I were smashed and having a good time stealing sh** from the neighbors like lawn chairs and flags and things, this was a college neighborhood and also in a rather hood part of the city, so when we tried to steal a NFL team banner off of a older guys fence (not elderly but not a college kid), it was secured very tightly, I'm sure it wasn't the first time someone had attempted to steal it. anyway, he caught us and came out of his house screaming so naturally we ran, I'm pretty fast but my roommate was faster and didn't help that I was completely smashed, anyway I think there was some kind of uneven sidewalk so I tried to kind of leap over it and forgot to land but just kept running in the air and ended up doing some kind of superman dive and skidded about 10 feet on the rough dirty city pavement. I had too much adrenalin and alcohol flowing through my system to really feel it at the time even though it did hurt pretty bad, so I got up and kept running back to our house. we lived on a second story apartment so I got to the steps and had to limp up them, my knee felt broken, though probably just severely bruised. I got upstairs and checked out my wounds, I had a giant gash in my knee that went down to the bone, messed up elbow, various scrapes all over my forearms. my right wrist, on the left side where the bone sticks out of your hand was exposed. cut on my face, and scrape on my stomach. it was pretty serious and alcohol has the effect of making your blood not clot. so it wouldn't stop bleeding. I wasn't really worried, I just looked at myself and was like holy sh**, and just laughed like hahah I can hardly feel it. so I slapped some bandages on and cracked open another beer. my soberest roommate tried to get me to go to the hospital, which I definately should have but I didn't. I forgot to mention that I lived in a sh**hole of an apartment. 5 guys, we never cleaned, dirty as **** and I slept on the floor in the living room. after that, I was kinda worried but just kept changing the bandages and hoping it'd get better. but I didn't shower for a few days because the water hurt the wounds so bad. well that was a bad idea because I contracted the MRSA virus. which is a very serious antibiotic resistant infection. but I didn't know this yet. Once I could barely move my knee because it was so swollen and I nearly overdosed on tylenol, which btw isn't fun, idk why, it just makes you feel like you want to kill yourself. and then my finger for some reason swelled up but I had just thought that I got glass in it, but then I could tell that there was fluid underneath and around my nail so a friend told me that I needed to pop it and get the fluid out, so I wrapped my finger in a papertowel, put it on the edge of a kitchen counter and slammed a full beer can on it, it definately popped, but I ended up losing that finger nail, it grew back after a few months tho. When I finally went to the hospital, I didn't have insurance at the time so they didn't spend much time on me, they gave me a cream and a weak antibiotic, it did the job or so I thought, and eventually I healed but it took like two months. and I still have a weird purple scar on my knee and other various scars. well I guess the MRSA virus lived on the outside of my body or in my nose or something because on the 4th of july a couple years ago, I got a bug bite on my hip and then it got very painful and swelled up so I went to the hospital and that's when they confirmed that it was MRSA and I had to have surgery to have a chunk of flesh taken out of my hip. If it would have went into the bone, I could have died. but I got treated in time and they gave me vicoden and 1000 dollar antibiotics that fight antibiotic resistant viruses. Infection is the worst pain I have ever experienced. so don't be a jackass and keep your sh** clean.

ACAMS and HX win. XD

Well, the worst I had was mountain biking. It was downhill, and I encountered a steep, sandy slope. I drifted, and it worked. But when I went down further to the gravel, one of the tires popped (forgot which), followed, by a huge rock that sent me flying. And landed hard. My 2nd, 3rd and 4th left knuckles were wide open. I could see the bones and also had a 5-inch gash on my right front arm. After some peroxide and gauze at home, my left hand looked like a Powerpuff Girl arm and both wounds healed successfully. XD

@ Hx_ I looked up that MRSA virus because I've never heard of it before and that staph affection is crazy. From what I read online it says it is very hard to treat because it Mutates and adapts to antiboitiocs. It also said something about it's a flesh eating infection to and can kill you if you don't get it treated:shock:. I'm pretty fast too but I learned from previous experiance that running full speed while smashed equals an unhappy ending, Like the pavement, running face first into an 8 foot tall fence, or my least favorite the invisbile clothe line to the neck while running in the dark:smiley:. But I have never manage to srap any of my body parts to the bone though I would probaly freak out if I seen my bone hanging out my hand lol. It's hard to determine out of you and ACAMS who story is worst there is so many different factors to consider, I think ACAMS my have the the edge though but I want to wait and hear Madiba's  Story to I got a feeling he has some good ones;)

But I have gotten foot size bruises on my hip from skateboarding, and many bruises on my ankles/shins

I gave up skateboarding because of the injuries ... it wasn't that I was bad at it but...

I used to go to my local skate park everyday and one fall in particular was: I was doing a combination of stuff over a few ramps in succession and went up the quarter pipe at a high rate of speed came back down and would you know it some kid on a bike stopped right in front of the pipe .... I found his back wheel before I could finish my curse word lol and ended up sliding a few meters across concrete XD

basically the park became way too populated with younger kids on bikes and kids just using the ramps as slides (even though the playground was next to it :P) I basically lost interest from then on.

S32, I would say yes! Just look at his posts! He even turned this into a competion too!

The worst 2 things that happened to me are:
1. When I was at school, I was practising being a soccer goalkeeper and my classmate was doing the kicks. He hit me in the face and blood ran out of my nose for almost 5 or so minutes, until it finally stopped.

2. Also when at school, but 4 or 5 years after the previous one. We were playing baseball on sports class(or what ever that is called). I was at 1st base's backup as one of the catchers and the ball went all the way to the last catcher on the field and he threw it back. To me it seemed like he threw it at 2nd base, so I turned away from the ball, but it hit me straight in the head. When I felt it I dint notice myself losing consisuness at all, but i must have because I was in a bowing position and the ball was rolling at the other end of the field. Nothing too serious, only a huge headache and a big bumb on my head for a few days. Oh, you should also know that I was wearng only a cap on my head, I have seen in some baseball games that they have helmets, but not in our school.

That reminds me. Not exactly "grievous" but I got hit in the groin by one of those cannonballs of a shot. Kept standing and such. Only felt it a few seconds later but it wasn't so bad.

Was practicing in the snow, and most of the field was covered with ice. note: coach is a nazi. Anyway we go on playing a 4v4 drill. As i'm defending an oncoming striker i extend my leg out in the air to deflect what i thought would be a soft chip. What I didn't know was my other foot was on solid piece of ice. So with my luck I am sliding closer and close to the ball when it goes right passed my foot and goes straight into my groin. I proceed to fall on the ground scrapping up my legs whilst sliding across the iced turf. Good Times.

I just remembered. I have been to a surgery when I was a baby. I dont remember anything about it, but mom told me a few years ago:

I had to go to a surgery because I had Water testicle(blame google translator if thats wrong)
My left testicle was all blue and the size of an adult fist! It was over with just one operation, but I had to stay in the hospital for a few weeks.

My left testicle was all blue and the size of an adult fist! It was over with just one operation, but I had to stay in the hospital for a few weeks.

:| ...

Well, since you brought up surgery as a baby, I had to have a kidney removed within weeks, maybe even days or even hours after birth. I forget.

No wise ass I'm not, I just find these stories interesting. It's intersetsing  hearing all these stories from all over the united states and the world about what happen to them in their life time. Maybe you don't feel the same way, it's what ever but it's different than  talking about robots so I find it interesting:-D

My uncle got flattened by a steamroller. Both his legs were crushed like a pancake.

could not bend his knees without being in pain for a year.

a few years later he can walk like any other person.

Damnn... all these stories sound pretty serious, anyway, here's my list of bodily harm...

So when i was something like 4 I was playing in the kitchen, when suddenly I saw a nice fat wire hanging from the tabletop (I could not see what it was, so I decided to pull it down). It turned out that "it" was a electric kettle filled with boiling water... Luckily I had no burns from the water, but I fractured my skull with the ceramic kettle.

A few months later I had broken my toy and started crying about this. So my father decided to buy some super glue to fix it. One mistake he made was that he left the glue on the table and than he left the house for a while... Later when he came back, he noticed my arms and hands all covered up in this glue.   The peeling off, of this glue was nothing compared to the excruciating pain caused by torn out pieces of skin (The glue held ****ing well).

A year after that I was biking down a hill in a park, when suddenly I saw something interesting on the floor. I stopped and picked it up and figured it was some kind of control board (My father said it was a TV tuner control board). So I mounted the new "device" onto my handlebar (using some string found on the ground as well) and started biking ****ing fast. To me this "device" was some kind of anti-collision computer (YES I had a wild imagination ;p), so I screamed as loud as I could "Dad check this out, I can bike with my eyes closed and not hit anything!1!1111one" and before my dad could explain to me how much of a dumb**** I am, I rammed into a concrete rubbish bin, flew over it, rolled down the steep hill and crashed into a tree, just to be later hit by the falling bike... One word... OUCH!

In the very same year I had another accident, this time I wanted to climb up the stairs, but than from behind... this attempt ended with me on the floor, unable to breathe (the fall ****ed up my lung) with permanent spine damage (a.k.a. It's S-shaped till this day)... Once again I was lucky, as my mother knew what to do when some idiot like me could not breathe (otherwise I would have suffocated :/)

When I was 12 me and my friend decided to pretend that we were Mages from WoW... and so I picked up a pair of gloves, poured some BBQ lighter fuel on them and lit them on fire (did the same thing with a tennis ball we found) I was pretending to cast a Fireball when suddenly I noticed that the gloves contained plastic (!!!!) and this same plastic began to slowly melt, burning my hands. After a while of running around with my hands on fire, we finally managed to put it out using a shovel, a blanket and the ground. (Funny thing is that all of this happened in my garden at 12 in the night, with my parents sitting in the living room right next to the terrace window ;p)

Now a more recent accident... Just a few days ago I was skateboarding and trying to do a simple shove-it over a gap. Right after I ollie'd over some small obstacle, I noticed that there was something in my way (some random bump on the ground) but failed to act fast enough. So I flew off my board and right down the big ass gap. For a moment I was flying in the superman position, and than I did the stupidest thing I could. I stretched out my arms (instinct :/) the skin on my hands peeled off quite quickly and left me with two big "jesus-hand bruises". It's actually pretty funny, because now I look like I was hanged on some cross or some sh** like that ;p

P.S. I also forgot to add one more accident...

So when I was 6 my father was working on rebuilding our small yacht, and I was ****ing bored. So I begged him to give me some nails and a hammer so I could play around. He warned me that I will massacre myself, but I ignored his prophecy. I started smashing the nails in as hard as I could, than I decided to increase the speed at which I did this, when the hammer slipped off the nail and hit me right in the thumb (full speed, full power :/). This also happened a few years ago when I was trying to hammer a pipe into the ground, and my thumb (same one) slipped into the pipe and right under the hammer... my nail came off nice and clean, and there was a decent amount of blood all over the place ;p

P.P.S.

Once I was play fighting with my dad, and I smashed him with my fist (full power) into his elbow... had three fractured fingers on my left hand, and a fractured "palm bone"... it sucked as I only noticed that something was wrong after two weeks, when the bone started to heal (had to get it broken by the doctor to make it heal well)

There... now you know the story of my FAILfull life ^^

EDIT: Forgot to mention the time I inserted the alligator clamps (Do not ask me how I did this ;p) of a voltmeter into the electrical socket ;p

um... tatoos and piercings are a controlled bodily harm I guess?  To some... they can be quite painful.  My naval piercing wasn't very painful... but it took damn forever to heal.  I will never forget the odd "squick!" noise the needle made when it went through the skin. That was kinda gross.

Ummm... I have some but It's not that bad.

I was at the Vans Skate park. It was too crowded and people were taking all the good ramps. After I got pissed enough I decided to just go, I didn't care if there was anybody else. After 5 seconds of skating around in my pissed off mood, some guy in the middle of grinding a rail goes down the ramp right after it. We collide, and the other person that collided with me was about 25 years old, and I... was about 9... so I got hit pretty hard.

I'll post more later.

That reminded me of my tiny slip off my bike many years back:

I was riding round our house and the grass was still wet from last nights rain, so as I came around one of the corners, I noticed my speed was too high and hit the brakes. Then the bike made a short time drift, wich caused me to fall off the seat onto the middle bar(= ball crusher)! I couldnt walk properly for quite a while.

A couple years ago in soccer practice, I kicked the ball as hard as I could (and that is HARD), bounced of the top crossbar of the goal about 15 feet away, came back, and hit me in the face. I was on the ground for about 10 minutes.

I remember when I was four I tried to ride (Read: Fell with) down a flight of concrete steps on the back of an RC car. needless to say that rolling down 14 steps is pretty sore on the body. No major damage.

Today at football practice we where running a drill where an offensive and defensive lineman would go head to head and a running back (thats me) would try to make it by the D lineman. The only trick to this is that you have to run in between to bags that are about 2-3 yards apart which doesn't leave you a lot of room. As i cut to the inside of the lineman he  dropped his block and hit me in the knee and a combination of how he hit me and how i fell led to me dislocating my knee. Which led to a hospital trip and getting it popped back into place which was probably one of the most painful things that i have ever had done. I have to get an MRI tomorrow to make sure there isn't anything else wrong and then i should be able to go back to practice hopefully before the first game.

Apologies for the bump, but I wanted to add.
About a month back, I went kayak surfing. It was fun. Then, while on a wave, a surfboard came out of nowhere and smashed me just above my right eye (i mean, a cm or 2 above - pretty lucky).
My boat went over, I rolled it back, jumped out, and clutched my numb face as a stream of blood ran into the sea. Meanwhile, I was surrounded by jellyfish.
Wasn't very nice, got stitches and all that.

I have never broken a bone either.

When i was 8, i was playing cops and robbers on my bike, i was going a bit too fast when i fell off the seat, my leg got caught in the chain, and i did about 10 barrel rolls. I was bleeding all over.

That was probably the most hurt i've ever gotten in my life.


You win.

ok i have 3 and they go from ouchiest to least ouchiest.

1. this is actually my bros. he was over at his friends house on a snow day. they were playing snowball baseball(whack a snowball w/ a aluminum bat) my bro decided it would be funny to put snow in his friends shoe. when he was right behind his friend, his friend took a hard swing at a snowball. the bat whacked my brother in the jaw, pushing his teeth into his lower li and breaking them off(inside the lip).

2.(me this time) i had just gotten home from my friends house. we had a squirtgun fight(more like pressure washer fight) so i took off my t- shirt cuz it was soaking. i then decided to do some scootering. i went own my pretty steep driveway at lik 20mph and into a sharp turn. basically if straght up on the scooter is 0 degrees, i was at 60 degrees. What do you know? a stick just happend to go under my front wheel, and making the centrifugal force that kept me from going boom dissapear.
i ripped about 10 square inches of skin off of my shoulder.

3. ok i was cutting a pice of platic w/ a serrated knife. i was holding the pice of platic in som pliers, and the knife slipped. the knife went right across the middle knuckle in my thumb , cutting it open. it only hurt like i wuz getting pinched, but i decided to pull the gash open a little. i could see cartilage and almost threw up(it wuzzz groose)

I havent gotten hurt really much, but my little brother has had 2 really big incidents.

once, I was trying to go to sleep and my little brother was bugging me. I slammed the door shut but I was like 7 at the time and didnt realize I had slammed his finger in the door. He started bleeding all over the place and he lost his fingernail.

The other one is when my dad, my brother and I went on a bike ride a couple weeks before I joined the forums. we were going down a big hill and I swerved to avoid a pothole. he ended up slamming the brakes and rolling halfway down the hill. He skinned his scalp, thigh and elbow, and it took 2 weeks to heal.
