Tink1717 2 #76 April 7, 2006 Broke ribs in a motorcycle crash (got seriously lucky on that one). Fractured leg from running marathons, broke a finger playing volleyball. So far that 's it.Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!)

Bolas 5 #77 April 7, 2006 Not much here: Stiches (when I was a kid): On the hand from a dog bite On the kneecap from tripping up some brick stairs Bones: 2 metatarsal bones from jumping off the playground equipment at school. Ironically I was wearing my Superman Underoos that day. 1 broken toe from when my friend ran over it on his bike. More scrapes, bruises, gashes, strains, and sprains than I could possibly ever count. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craddock 0 #78 April 8, 2006 Excluding fingers and ribs I have broke the following outside skydiving Clavical (three times) 1st time on bmx Left navicular twice Left Radius and Ulna ( Just short on a new SX triple, trying to be the first to try it in muddy/slippery conditions. Never crashed but heavy impact into the face of landing) Shattered right ankle (open reduction/internal fixation) Rebroke ankle years later training for a Sno-x race. (open reduction/ internal fixation) Right scapula (shoulder blade) - Trees are hard! Ttibial Plateau (internal fixation/open reduction) Ouch! This knee may replaced someday. Still recovering. Lots of soft tissue in addition to the break which was heavily displaced. Taken out by a slower rider I was lapping while leading an MX race less than a week before my wedding. Broken vertebrae in neck. Did not know I broke it until years later when I had a spinal x-ray for issues I was having. I could of happend from one of many Backwards barefoot crashes I had without the proper neckbrace. I destroyed my neck learning this trick longline. Think Safety Gear! As far a skeletal fractures this is all. Other ligamentous injuries from various sports. Nothing skydive related. That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
