Shradow Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 So, I'm a very clumsy person, and I hurt myself a lot. When I was 7 I had to go to the emergency room three separate times: First, I cut up the whole of my left leg jumping across picnic tables (that one was more stupid than clumsy, but whatevs) and required many many stitches. The second time I crashed on my scooter and got some glass shards up my arm. The third time my grandma fell on my wrist and broke it really badly during a ski trip. The whole reason I got the idea to make this thread is because I just bit the inside of my mouth eating pizza with my bottom canine, and my mouth was positioned just so that I bit three, clean, separate holes all in a row with that one bite. So, do you guys get into lots of accidents? Thankfully the one kind of accident I've managed to avoid is vehicular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 As far as I know, I don't get into a lot of accidents, if any. Most is probably scratching my ankle on a computer case or almost tripping on the stairs. Last time I had a big accident was in 2007 when I ran to catch the bus and fell on my left wrist (didn't break any bones, but it bled like crazy). Took about 2-3 weeks to heal though, but no ER. (Note to self: Do not run across school with a 15-pound bag on your back, especially when road is wet, because the law of gravity/hydroplaning is existent and hurts a lot.)

Kazooie Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I tripped over a tree root once, feel face first onto a concrete step and busted my head open when I was a lot younger. No permanent damage supposedly, but my head still hurts from time to time where I landed. It healed up pretty nicely though thankfully, so I can't really complain too much.

Tentacruel Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I stub my toes a lot because I tend to drag my feet a lot, but I'm generally a careful person. I did once my pass out and land on my face, fucking up my entire mouth. My jaw still doesn't open properly. Didn't have to go to the ER though, thankfully. It did cost me (my family) two grand in dental bills though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Around one month ago, when I was cycling home from work, someone riding a motorcycle hit me, and when I am struggling to get up, a truck grazed me. It's quite a miracle that only my bicycle got wrecked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Is it only me that grew up having "accident" be a code word for pissing your pants? No, that was a term I heard as well, this just isn't about that. At least for me it isn't, as far back as I can remember I've never peed myself. Heck, during my sleepwalking days I once awoke and found myself using the bathroom as I normally would. Stood up and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airride Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Apparently when I was like 2 or 3 I split open my chin. It might explain the off center chip in my lower jaw I can still feel through my skin that creeps me the fuck out. Otherwise, lots of close calls, but nothing major. Never broken a bone, never bled like crazy, or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I feel against a coffee table once. I broke a tooth which slowly turned grey before hollowing out and falling out a few weeks/months later. I also gashed right above my left eye, which required several stitches and left me with a permanent scar cutting through my eyebrow.But I just tell people I got in a knife fight. Sounds cooler.

Elijah~ Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 The worst accident I had was when I was 7 years old. It was during the summer time and I hadn't saw my mom in 3 days. I was running on the patio to go run to her then my Great Dane came out of nowhere and knocked me down. I hurt my knee really bad , but no ER.

.Ash Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 When I was young, like 5 or 6 I ran headfirst into a table and broke my nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Nothing other than the usual cuts from work, because of how sharp the card is. Although I am clumsy so I'm usually covered in cuts(less so now I've gotten a safety knife). Never really bad hurt myself other than when I fell off my bike when I was about 9, but they were 'minor' cuts. I did fall down the stairs at work once and couldn't sit down properly for a week....

Zauls Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I've had a couple of really bad ones. When I was a kid, I was sat on the floor then got up and hit my head off a metal door handle. It bled like absolutely crazy. My entire head was literally covered in blood. Luckily my grandma, who was first aid trained, was there and she bandaged my head up and made me look like a pirate. I also fell off my bike once and broke my arm and got a bone-deep cut on my shoulder. I also scraped my face on the floor when I fell and had to go round with scabs on my face for a few days. Was not a good look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greiga Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I have almost accidents, meaning I almost screw up but usually pull it together. Like tripping on the air but not falling all the way. I remember way back in 7th grade I was at the beach and it had this playground like 5-10 minutes down, so I was running like a foot up but slipped and fell. My teeth got fucked up but I had braces at the time so they look way better now. I also have the usual "throwing away important shit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Never broken a bone, buuuuut I have stepped on nails and screws more often than I would like in my lifetime. The first time I was in 6th grade and was sent out to buy tortillas. I had sandals and passed by the unpaved sidewalk of a vacant lot near my house on the way back. I actually thought it was a stone on my shoe at first until I lifted my heel and saw the screw fall out of it. I almost blanked out. The second time I was helping out destroy old arcade video games from my family's old business that were sitting on the yard collecting dust. It pierced through my tenis shoes and thankfully I just got the tip of the nail. Third time I was at a fire with friends eating marshmallows and stuff, and tried to help a friend cut down a stick we were gonna use for firewood by stepping on it. I hate nails. The taxi once slammed the door last year and trapped my fingers. I got no repercussions beyond the moment being very painful, and the driver insisted on the trip being free, so ok.... He was letting other passengers down while I was moving to the middle section of the taxi where there was more room (because I didn't even have a seat in the back, practically floating in nothing beside other 3 people) I also have a few scars in my skin from minor accidents. One in my right hand cutting across the skin between my thumb and my index. Which I stupidly made from trying to open a cheese can for nachos. Another in my left shin, I got from an old rusty aluminum 3-step ladder that collapsed making my shin hit against an edge pretty hard. Also my back didn't like the impact of the fall either even though I landed on my feet. My left arm below where the elbow folds in, I have a the longest scar in my body, made when I was packing and arranging merchandise my mom sells on Fridays. A broken cloth hanger somehow managed to run across my skin as I let it fall where it belongs. One of my knees has a little point where a wire fence once cut me. It's a sort of remnant of a scar, maybe because I was so small when it happened is it that it looks so small now.... Finally, I don't have a scar or anything from this one, but when I was in elementary, I fell from my back in a weird way that ended with the bike's chain grabbing on to the side of my stomach. More accurately a little to the side under the area of the chest. I don't even know how that happened. I had to walk in an awkward position while rolling the bike besides me as it had me trapped, and go knock on my house's door to see what the adults would be able to do about it.

Fusion X. Denver Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I've had a black eye for the past 3 weeks because I bent down to get water from the microfridge in the middle of the night and I rammed my eye into the bed post. But other than that, nothing too crazy. I've never broken a bone before and I'm gonna try keeping that record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zauls Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I've remembered a couple more bad ones as well. The list is long... I ran into the horizontal wooden plank on my bunkbed when I was about 5 and I think that's why my nose is now really wonky. All my family could think to do was take photos of me and my bleeding and hurting nose... Not sure if this counts as an accident, but back when I did Karate I was using these terrible boxing gloves that didn't protect your hands at all and the guy had a solid plastic mesh on his helmet. I punched him so hard that I broke my metacarpal and now my little finger is wonky and deformed. On the plus side, the punch was so hard that the guy pretty much flew back and fell to the ground and subsequently stopped sparring with me.

Makο Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I bang myself up all the time. Usually minor stuff, but I swear my tongue is ALWAYS a little bit burnt. In the past, though, I've broken 3 bones (2 in the arm, one in the leg) and gotten 2 scars (both on the leg), all on the right side of my body.

Raine Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 In 2007, I flipped my bike over my head and broke my left arm during the fall. The next year I broke my other arm jumping the wall at a roller blading rink trying to see how fast I could make the jump. In 2010, I got a concussion falling off my aunt's roof. The following year, I busted up my wrist foot racing across a frozen pond. Last year, I was in a car accident where the driver struck a commercial mailbox and I blackened my shoulder and cut a pizza slice into the car but, damn, that mailbox went 50 yards. It was impressive. And two months ago, I got a inch deep cut into my leg that I had to go to hospital for because I have a habit of going to this little junkyard by my house near midnight because I dance to my music without being seen.

Nathanael D. Striker Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 The Summer before 6th grade, I fell off my bike by trying to get on the sidewalk and broke my left arm (both the radius and the ulna). I was in a cast for six months, and that was bad. The beginning of Sophomore year, I lost my balance on a manual four-wheel scooter and fractured my right ankle. I was in a cast for a month and had to use a scooter. Also, I did ride on a muddy trail, fell off my bike, rolled multiple times down the trail, and suffered only a few cuts and bruises. So yea.

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Right I had a bicycle-related accident as well, had my left heel chopped off by a spoke when I was 5 and still have the scar, I feel like Achilles. 8D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I got a fishing hook stuck in the back of my head once because I decided doing a throw over my head was smart. I also sprained my wrist once because I was running indoors with skiing boots for some reason and tripped on a floor carpet. Somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
