The Worst thing to happen to you.

[Magistr8 0]

I was hoping to get some good responses outta this one. This doesn't have to be sky diving related.
When I was 13 and we were practicing for a baseball game my buddy mike was at the plate and I was on first hoping to make a steal. As the pitch leaves the hand of the pitcher I start running to 2nd. Mike makes contact and hits me right in the head. I was nocked out and had to go to the hospital for observation. That gave me a good concusion.
More to come
Who ever said comming down from a high was bad obviously never tried this.

When I was in college my roommate decided to try to kill me with her car - she ran a stop sign going 60 mph and we got hit by full size pick up truck going 60 mph.....I was ejected out of the sunroof and the two guys were ejected out the back windshield......my roommate - well she walked away without a scratch.......

When I was younger (not much), I thought it'd be a good idea to try jumping across a 75' parking lot. On skis. Off of a non-prepared snowbank. I hit it moving fast enough to make the gap, but since I hadn't checked out the snowbank at all, It threw me waaay up, instead of out. In the air at some point, I rotated 90degrees so that my right side was paralell with the parking lot.
****** Freeze Frame *****
It had snowed the night before about 45cm, a massive amount, so the lot shouldn't be too hard....
*****/end freeze frame*****
So there I am, falling towards the lot from about 20' of vert (as confirmed from numerous witnesses. I get ready for impact...
****One more freeze frame****
Turns out, they plowed the lot around 5am, and in the time since then, it had been covered by about an inch. The rest was ice. and gravel.
*****/end painful flashback****
I hit, shattered my right elbow, got a concussion, sprained my right wrist, and ankle (somehow!) and to top it all off, found that I was pissing blood the next morning. I had torn my kidney!
While I lay in the parking lot, gear all sprawled about, my friends skied over:
"You okay?"
"*struggling for breath* yup,. yup, fine"
"You sure?"
"yeah....."
So then they laughed, kicked some snow on me and skied away.
I staggered to my feet, put my gear back on, and skied back to the lodge. Took everything off and went and sat by the fire. My dad showed up about 4 hours later, when someone finally called him for me. Yeah. That was pretty bad.
Then there was the time I collasped my lung.....

Monkey! Me too man!

Oh never mind.
Yeah, that does suck. Wicked bad. Took me a long time to get over all that.

You know I started to respond to this thread with the worst thing that ever happened to me and I couldn't. Let's just say it is that bad and I just can't trivialize it by posting it on some forum.

I was on my second date with a girl from my high school (the first date was the night before). She decide to teach me to ice skate. Everything was going okay until she let off on my own. Nobody informed me that hockey skate blades are curved so when I leaned forward for the board, out went my feet, in went my face, smack into the boards. Knock me out cold. I came to and said I was okay, until we skated around the rink once, at that time I told her something was really wrong I didn't know my address or phone number. She took me to the emergency room but being an (retired) Army brat, I knew I had to go to the Naval Air Station or my parents would have to deal with insurance. So, a doctor came out to look at me (mind you my Dad worked at the same hospital). Finally my mom showed up and took me to the Naval clinic with 3 girls from my school including my new girlfriend which were at the rink. I was so embarrassed.
I have learned to skate and in fact I play hockey now.

well, there was the time the 16 year old decided he had had enough of life and ran out in front of the truck (22 wheeler loaded with gasoline) i was driving to do himeself in....
...and then there was the time my wife walked out on me and our kids after 7 years of marriage...
...and then i found out she had had affairs with 4 different guys in the three years prior to leaving..
..and then 6 months after she left she came back and tried to get custody..
but life goes on... i kept the kids, got married again to a wonderful woman. and the 16 year old kid? well, i guess he got what he wanted, and i am secure in the knowledge that i did everything i could to avoid it and didn't hurt anyone else.
some days it sucks to be me, but most of the time it's great. Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth

I was such a bad kid when I was in junior high/ earlier high school. Me and some friends thought it would be a good idea to throw snowballs at cars after a heavy snow fall the night before on a fairly busy corner. Well we got this one car really good ( A white cavalier as I remember) and it started to spin and went up on the bank. The guy gets out and yells
"You son of a bitch kids"
>insert laughter now
About 20 mins later this white car comes fish tailing around the corner and is speeding up right for us. We all look around and have just enough time to pull 2 of our friends off the snow bank as the car strickes and knocks the bank that we are standing on down so that we fall on the street and break our arms.
Insert laughter for driver here
He then got out of his car and chased us down for a couple of blocks. He never caught us but am worried that he would have seriously tried to kill us since he tried once already that night.
Who ever said comming down from a high was bad obviously never tried this.

Electrocuted on a railway line when I was 8, (25000volts) spent 10 weeks in hospital.
Found a pool ball (the 8 ball) and decided to try and break it by throwing it at some cobblestones in a park near where I lived (can you guess what's coming?)
I threw it as hard as I (10 yrs old) could...and it bounced back up and hit me square in my right eye I could,nt see out of it properly for about 3 months.
Strange thing is ..it never cut my eye...or blacked it..or left any permanent damage....
Work that one out....??
I was run over when I was 13 (still have a dislocated collar bone) and scar,s all up my left arm.
I fell off a bridge about 3 months ago (drunk) whilst trying to walk along the railings, (4" wide) I landed on my arse on an embankment which was about 13 feet below (the height of the railings) I have a defined mark on one of my back pockets of my jeans,where my cigarettes were, I couldn't stand properly for about a week either

Hmm...the worst thing thats happened to me. Well...most were self or stupidity-inflicted, lol...but that would be quite a list. Not enough time to post any right now....maybe after work. Once though, we had a thread like this and I posted about a stupid thing I did on my snowmobile a couple years ago- do a search if your really that interested, lol.

I had my left testicle removed along with 13 lymph nodes in my abdomen because the division PA didn't know what the FUCK he was doing. Note to self- Next time I feel a lump get a second opinion and don't forget about the problem. On the lighter side I now have more room for my leg straps.

Long story, but the short of it is, is that I was supposed to be on it, through happen-stance, I wasn't and I lost a good friend (and a couple aquantances)

Yeah i read Donna,s daughter,s story on her web-site a few week,s ago sorta makes other stuff seem like a walk in the park.
I suppose it depends on what life has kicked up in your face, but try to remember that someone somewhere is having it worse than you.(always helps me)
