My most serious injury was when went to a camp open day thing where I ended up on a skateboard, then ended up on a ramp 10 minutes later, with only that past 10 minutes as experience.

I went down, the board flew out, I broke my ankle completely. had to have a metal plate put in to hold it together. I think the bone must have landed on a nerve later that night (had to wait 2-3 days for surgery

), because I had pain shooting up my entire leg unlike any pain I have ever felt. And I have a huge pain tolerance.
Much later, after several months of not walking, my leg atrophied and I had to rebuild the muscle, learn to walk again. Then all my toenails on that foot went ingrown and I had to have them ripped out. That was fun

At least I got some cool crutches, which I quickly modded by painting them black.
Lesson learned: Being awesome at Tony Hawks Pro Skater does not translate into real life
Other dumb stuff-
-As a baby I thought blades were cool and went after a food processor blade, and still have a 1 inch scar from the cut still.
-Dad fell on me when he was holding me up while ice skating. My heads a little deformed from that still. Makes getting even haircuts hard.
-As a kid I tried to cut a jawbreaker in half with my first swiss army knife, in a moving vehicle. Finger got sliced open real nice, lol. every knife since then I've managed to cut myself with too. And I collect knives, so thats a lot of cuts!
Portable injurys;
Lots of hot glue burns, lots of iron burns, lots of knife cuts, a few electrical shocks, the plain normal stuff. I'm so glad our bodys are nearly idiot proof in that they heal so fast, or I would have been gone long ago.
