jfields 0 #1 August 29, 2002 This came up in another thread, but I thought it was a great idea. If you've been unfortunate enough to get injured while skydiving, at least you get bragging rights for cool X-Rays. Tibias, fibulas, vertibrae... Plates, screws, rods, or whatever other metal you have. Post 'em if you got 'em! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #2 August 29, 2002 This one is my friends left leg after canopy collapse in a load of turbulence. You can't see the worst bit clearly here though where the ankle has been compressed.____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 7 #3 August 29, 2002 side view and then front/back view. you can see the total of 5 screws (2 for the tib 3 for the fib) I like Dove's x-rays better! Hers are sexy! it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schroeder 0 #4 August 29, 2002 No pics, but I can tell you what I've had x-ray'd! I've had my leg (broken), my collarbone (broken), right elbow (multiple breaks), abdomen (Internal bleeding, really cool live x-ray thing, where you can watch the whole thing on TV.) and upper chest (collapsed lung), hip (false alarm, thank god) thats it.

freeflyfree 0 #5 August 29, 2002 My roommate. His altimeter malfunctioned it was his 60th jump and it was the first time jumping in like 5 months, in the ground the altimeter marked 1,000 ft. He made the approach just by looking at his altimeter, he landed crosswind and only flared halfway...it's all godd now...Felipe.-- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY...

sumadoggie 0 #8 August 29, 2002 Here I am with the new SONY PC-X embedded just next to my pineal gland so I can film all jumps I've made in my head so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schroeder 0 #9 August 29, 2002 Lol, I did too much. Each one, aside from the internal bleeding/elbow combo were all separate. Each one was to do with skiing. Last year I broke my nose (no x-ray needed for that one!) and got a wicked concussion stalling out a backflip. So each one was very much self-inflicted on the slopes. I guess I just push it too much.

hobbes4star 0 #12 August 29, 2002 oh didn't know we were talking about broken things. lets see i had a very rough childhood. broke both collar bones left tibia left femer left heal spur had both knees scraped two screws in my right knee skin graft on my left hand pinky finger. and my right wrist. the only good thing (and was the joke of my injuries which were alway occuring ) was it was always my left side. hardly ever hurt my right side. my parents are still paying on my medical bills and i haven't lived at home for 6 years... my injuries were from 14 years of gymnastics, two motor bike accidents i haven't ever been on a bike since the last one. and one very stupied move with a knife.if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right?

indyz 1 #19 August 29, 2002 QuoteOnce a cinder block fell on the foot I got one on the toes doing gardening. Figured I would save the trip to the hospital, taped the little guy to hos neighbor, and went back to work. I'm still not sure if I broke it, but if I did, it was my only break.

tigra 0 #20 August 30, 2002 No X-rays- I never got to keep any, but somewhere at home is a plastic baggie with 7 screws, a plate and a pin from a Tri-Maeleal (spelling?) Tib-Fib fracture.
