Stupid ways that you have injured yourself? - Page 2 - GoFuckYourself.com

I was following friends through a revolving door when I was a kid playing tag....Of course my extended foot behind me got stuck, and I ended up with a stress fracture.

Another was when I was 5 playing tennis.. Atter drilling, I had to round up the tennis balls in the hopper, and I leaned down to pick one up, and I smashed my head on a bench. That required 5 stitches.

When I was 4, I was at the SD Zoo and I was trying to catch a chicken. Needless to say, I fell and my tooth went through my lip.

When I was 16 playing at nationals (for tennis of course), I was warming up and getting a bit pissed off... I decided to kick the ground, and when my foot jammed into the ground, it snapped.

One last tennis injury... My temper caused this one as well! I missed a pretty easy approach shot and as the ball bunced back from the net, i attempted to kick it over wil all my might. I kicked so hard that my other foot went airborne and I broke the fall with my elbows. This caused my right growth plate to seprate.

I have many more, but this are the notables that I can thing of ;)

Ohhhhh... On a back inverter a few weeks back, I forgot to check the height adjustment. My wife had used it and she is 4' 11". I jumped on, leaned back, and I ended up doing a damn near 360 on to my head. Hahaha!

Sherm sounds like the male version of my sister growing up. She could injure herself just looking at a playing field. She was (and still is) a real athlete but she was what my mom called a 'booboo queen'. The first sports injury was a kickball related dislocated shoulder in the 1st grade and it went from there.

Vid to soon follow.

As promised, painful realization that my time to learn how to ride a skateboard is long past.

two summers ago after drinking 6 jagerbombs at a local happy hour we went to my friends house and i somehow fell off their deck. It was like a 5-6 foot fall but i broke my ankle in 3 places. Only broken bones i've ever had

When I was about 8 or 9 we did wood carving with utility knives. I cut (sliced) myself, had a bit of a sook, kept going. Cut myself again, had another sook, kept going. After about 4 cuts the teacher made me stop.

Some of these stories are just priceless! lol

Let's see. Some of my more memorable ouchies are:

1. When I was about 4 years old, I had a "kiddy cart" (kind of the precursor to the Big Wheel) and the handlebars were made from two metal bars forming a T. There was a plastic cap on the top of the vertical bar but, it had fallen off. I went tearing through the house one day and slammed into the couch where my folks were sitting. I hit so hard my head flew forward and that raw edged metal bar landed in my eyebrow, just missing my eye. My mom was freaking out thinking I had poked my eye out. She couldn't see from all the blood.

2. 8 years old and my sister asked me to walk her bike home from our friends house as the chain had come off. I got to the top of the hill above our house and thought, "I don't need te chain to just coast down the hill" so I hopped on. About half way down I realized that no chain also meant no brakes. I crashed into a tree head on and cut my coochie on the stupid bike bar.

3. Back in the 90's I stepped off the handicap access ramp at my dry cleaners and broke my foot. Now I know why they call them "Handicap" ramps.

Two more of my brother's:

He was in a science class and they were doing one of those "trust" test where you let yourself fall into the crowd and trust they catch you. He said he's looking at these idiot preteen girls and thinking "no way....". So he fell to the other side and broke his arm in 2 places.......

The following year he was running around the track. Being as uncoordinated as me, he took his jacket off, flung it to the ground, looked back to see where it landed and ran into a bench. Broke his leg.

I used to deliver pepsi to the grocery stores on the night shift and one time I was all alone in the back room and had to inch a pallet of pepsi into a tight location in a narrow corridor.

The pallet jack weighs around 1500 lbs and the pallet of pepsi is around 900 lbs

As I turned the pallet to make a hard left to go into the slot, I ran the jack wheel over my foot and jammed the jack against the wall. It hurt so bad that when I screamed - no sound came out. It wedged my foot up under it and the only way to free myself was to run it back over my foot in the opposite direction so I got to feel the pain all over again.

The steel toe boots bore some of the weight and kept me from totally crushing my foot, but it didn't support it all.

Fuck that hurt!

Hahahah! I am still athletic too. I think it's just that I'm always playing sports, so the injuries are bound to happen. Thinking back, playing 6 hours a day for 16 years (6 days a week), it could have been much worse! Of course it ended in me blowing out my shoulder after my first 3 division 1 college matched, but that's another story...Can you tell I'm bitter?

I'm back out there now, but as a retired old man of 26 years old.
