Your Worst Accident...

My 8th birthday, woke up to the sound of the bouncy castle man. He set the bouncy castle up at 9am, I ran, summersaulted...and landed on my finger and fractured it. Was sat crying on the bouncy castle all day and had to have my finger operated on the following day :(

Don't you just hate those birthday injuries, I got Raleigh Chopper for a birthday once "The Purple killing machine" the first day I took it out I rode over a pebble... yep a pebble and the handle bars swung round I flipped over and dislocated my thumb and cut my groin open on the handlebars. My thumb pointed in the opposite direction which was cool, ripping your ball sack less so... It tried on several more occasions to kill me resulting in stitches with a rather cool elbow scar, broken wrists and nose not to mention a big car repair bill when trying to be Evil Knievel I jumped two girls and three bins, before smashing into a Ford Capri... The jump was cool got me to second base my friends.
 
broke my left pinky toe twice running through the house...not good if you accidentally hit a door. :) sure hurts like hell.
 
Honestly, I think I have a broken little toe on my right foot (from twatting doors/beds with it). I've lost all feeling in it and it's been like that for about two or three years, but I've never had it looked at because... Well, I've lost all feeling in it, so there's no pain and no problem. Weird though.
 
Completely fractured my right knee cap and tore all my ligaments and muscles in that knee when I was 12 in a football game. I had to revalidate and actually learn how to walk again 'cause I had no musclemass or anything...Underwent surgery on that knee for 5 times ever since...

That reminds me of a bike accident I had, nothin serious or injuries but more for comic effect.

The front "vender" was lose and knocking against the wheel so I tried to push it back with my foot whilst cycling. Foot, obviously, got stuck in the wheel, blocked the wheel when my foot reached the "t-bar" connected to the wheel and sent me flying over my bike. Fell on the floor, nothing broken or anything and was lying there looking ahead of me for a split second and then the rest of the bike, with my schoolbag on the back, fell on to my head. Didnt hurt, but was one of those typical "slapstick" movie moments :D
 
My worst accident would have to be when I was helping my dad put things away in the loft space above the garage. I was on the ladder and going up to the opening when suddenly the ladder fell... I fell 9 foot to the ground and landed on a Morris Minor Rear Subframe!! that HURT!! Ive hated ladders ever since.
 
When I was about 9 me and my cousin were out playing and the local idoit boy found a broken peice of wood and chased us around with it.

Me and my cousin ran ontop of a climbing frame and the kid threw it like a frisbe at us - I was behind my cousin so he saw it coming and crouched down. I didn't see it and got a big lump of wood smashed jsut above my eye!!!

I had a gash and had to have 3 stitches - next time I saw the little bastard I cracked him in the head with my left hand for some reason??!! (I'm right handed) and fucked up
my hand!!!

So i have two scars from that little retard!!


Fell off a climbing frame when I was younger aswell and on the way down it took a big chuck of my skin away and I could see the bone in my leg!! that was scary!!

Not had that many accidents and that though - been quite lucky.

Also had a fight in a pub once - these two big northern arseholes picked on my little Skinny mate. So I pummeled into them and went psycho - I fucked up my hand then aswell - to this day I can't straighten my little finger properly!!

:lol: That I'd pay to see... My dad made me my first real drop handle bar racer, he knocked it up from 3 other bikes.. When I was 13 I sprayed it (badly) Matt black wheels and all, the start of my Goth/Punx phase.. (it was always cooler to use X) and put big 'cow horn' handlebars on it (remember them) , Then the next day I rode it to school... I was bombing down the road in front of school and as usual there were all the kids, and hotties sat on the wall out front, so being a typical idiot I pulled a massive wheelie to show off (not too easy with cow horns) and no sooner had I got the front wheel up it slid off the forks and carried on down the road at the side of me, I was now minus a wheel and peddling like mad trying to stay up, this lasted for all of 30 seconds before I came down, smashed the front forks into the tarmac which sent me flying through the air and smashing into the road coming eventually to a halt right in front of a heavily breaking school buss-es wheels. I dislocated my shoulder badly cut my face arms back and legs and destroyed my uniform (bonus). The best thing apart from the fame of a near death tumble was I got to braise my forks back to shape in metal shop, needless to say they snapped days later...
 
LMAO, you need to build yourself a padded house!

I think Ive had something similar, although obviously not the the extent of your stuff. Like that's f#$king possible :lol:. Anyway, I was over in England on holiday and messing about with my cousin/mates.

So we thought it would be cool to build our own ramp and race with the bikes over it to do jumps. So we found some bricks and some wood paneling in my nan's garage and started building the thing in the street where my nan lives. Dead end street so there was hardly ever any cars using it. Nan lived on a hill of sorts so we did it so that the ramps would raise towards the lower part of the road increasing the possibility for a bigger jump. We were clever like that, well.....

So we built this ramp, was about 50cm's high, little under 2 foot I think, placed the the paneling down on the bricks and it was solid enough. So one of the others tried it and managed to do a good jump. However, with the weight of the bike and cyclist it had damaged the panel, unknown to the others and myself. So I went up for a jump, the panel proceded to snap in half with me and the bike smashing into the remnants of the ramp, bricks and some wood, sending me flying over the bike, again....landing on the street. As usual nothing injured or damaged bar a few scratches.

This thread is great, Im remembering all this nonsense I did as a kid :D

Actually I remember something happening to one of the local lads around our place years ago. Comic effect again.

So behind were I live there's a footie field/park, a cycle path running along the short side of the pitch followed by some more grass and a stream. So we were always playing on there when we had enough players and one of them was a yoegoslavian refugee, it was around that time. He was alright, bit annoying at times with too much tricks with little end result. We usually kicked it out of him when he did it, like most of us would with C.Ronaldo.

So we were playing on this pitch, the grass a bit wet from the rain earlier in the day and one of the lads took a shot, missed the goal, and ended up with the ball rolling over the cycle path and towards the stream. It had happend loads of time and we usually just brought a stick, piece of timber with us to get the ball back out. The bosnian lad forgot that and ran after the ball full pelt to stop it going in the water. He got close......

So from our view on the pitch we see the ball rolling closer and closer to the edge of the grass (which dipped at the end down to the water level) with the lad running after it. He got to within a meter / yard of the ball at which point we see the ball disappear down the edge, the lad trying to stop in time, slipping (in a vertical stance like on ice) and then also dissapearing down the edge arms flailing above him. This got followed by a big splash and offcourse us laughing our heads off. A few moments later we saw him climbing back up the edge, ball in hand, covered and soaked in "dubious" green water. He didnt appreciate the laughter, gave the ball back and sulked off home :D
 
I was lifting a fat bloke at work above my head for a laugh when all of a sudden my left leg popped out at the knee. I shattered the cartilage and tore the cruciate ligaments, it hurt a bit but the noise it made was worse. That was nearly 15 years ago and it can still pop out now if I’m not careful.
 
I was drivin a bike down a hill, and I tried to stop but the breaks were to hard, and I went over the front onto the road at high speed. the right side of my face was all messed up, so was my right arm. I dont remember much more thou. lots of blood :O

and second on the first day of vacation I was (guess what) drivin a bike down a holl covered with very tiny stones. and when I was braking I fell onto the side with my knee... 1 month with no football....

Kids and bikes = Scabs... It's worse when you have to pick the gravel out... :cry:
 
I've just remembered my skateboard incident after reading the bike stories above.

I was about 11, I'd never been on a skateboard, but my dad bought one (hang on, I know that looks weird) for a quid from the local flea market so that he had something to lie on when looking under his car (see, makes sense now!).

Well having never been on one, and being a big Bart Simpson fan, I thought you just stood on it and then, whoosh, you started moving and everything was done for you by magic. Cowabunga! So I put both feet on it, sideways, and waited for the fun.

Nothing happened for a couple of seconds. Then the skateboard started to move... And so did I. In the opposite direction. SMACK. Concrete patio, head hits floor. I just lay there for a couple of seconds thinking, "what the hell just happened?"

My mum came running out the house screaming and asking if I was okay, she'd seen the whole thing through the big patio window. I just said "yeah", no tears, no nothing. This was highly unusual for me so I was taken to Alder Hey, where they did a CAT scan on me, and gave me a clean bill of health.

But I get banging headaches almost every day now (see the "Things That Piss Me Off" thread), and it makes you wonder...

This might sound silly Jack but try opening the window in your bedroom at night before you go to bed (just open it a little if it's too cold.)

My missus had the same daily headaches you suffer with & this has seemed to have cured her. Might not work for you but worth a try. :)
 
Nick, been to the doctors and to specialists ten years ago now, over and over and over for something like three years running. In the end it was put down to stress - it was a bad time in my life and when the problems went away the headaches eased. For four years they disappeared, and it was a fantastic feeling, then suddenly they came back again more and more regularly. Realistically it's every 3rd/4th day I will get one, but A) once I've got one I've got it for 2-3 days, and B) I've been passed back and forth too many times to get it all looked at again. They did scans and tests and they all came back fine.

Plan M, it's funny you should say that, but it's something the missus pushes all the time. I sleep with the windows closed and a dehumidifier on, I'm not a fan of sitting here at night with flies in my eyes trying to put me off Football Manager. But when she's here, 2-3 days a week, she insists that the windows are wide open at night or she "can't breathe" (which is a barefaced lie but she won't have it). Doesn't seem to make any difference.

When I wear a pair of glasses for longer than 2-3 hours I get a stonking headache so I'm sure it's something to do with my eyes... The missus says I sit way too close to everything but it's only to avoid putting my glasses on, if I put them on I can sit 10ft away from the screen but I know I'll get a banging headache if I leave them on too long, and you forget.

Jesus Christ I'm like an old woman.
 
Like I said Mike I'm not going through it all again, three years of "you need to see X", "hmmm I can't figure that out, you need to go to the Y surgery in Z", "sorry that you've wasted a journey but I can't see anything wrong, I'll refer you back to X".

I'm flattered that you're concerned ;) but I'll be fine.
 
Hehe I have been skimming the thread, didn't see that you'd had problems with the doc. Have you had a second opinion?

Apart from that, I am all out of ideas! ;)
 
I've had more opinions than you've had hot dinners mate, all of them being "dude WTF?? lolz dat iz sum weird shit u got der, i dno lmao".
 
I'd try an opticians if you have not been already, or go private to a specialist. It's only £120-150 to get a consultation. Or go into hospital A&E say you fell and hit your head a few days ago and have been getting severe headaches ever since, tumours and blood clots can be missed. My cousin had one that took eight scans and four specialists to spot and he has it in a jar, its the size of a 50p piece and round! "If in doubt shout" that's my motto. My good friend who is the chief of all Yorkshires NHS services told me that, if you not happy with your treatment complain...a lot!
 
I fell into the gorilla compound once at the zoo and got mauled by 4 380lbs gorillas. That's not the reason I'm in a wheelchair and rely on a machine to talk though.
