Anyone broken a bone here?

[ride hard]

Broke my collar bone a few years back... felt it snap then didn't feel a thing afterwords

[JayGoes]

Snap'd my wrist & KO'd myslef out for ?????

I remember being in a good mood *no pain* when the helicopter stopped by to pick me up. The all in for the ride in the heli and to get fixed up was more than salary + bonus for the year - with out insurance I'm sure it would have hurt a lil more.

Tuck-n-Roll - Its like $$$ in the bank.

7 years old, going down the Newport Beach Pier when it was still all wood on a sled with wheels, it was called a flexie, broken tibia and second concussion
8 or 9 went down a hill in a shopping cart, my cousins thought it'd be funny to let me go. Broken collar bone and skull fracture, bunch of stitches.
10 years old, got hit by a car under the arches on PCH. Broken arm, but got a new bike!
12 years old, took up boxing and preceded to get my nose broke in about the first couple of weeks.
13 years old broke every finger in my left hand when a friends wife slammed the car door on my hand. Worse part was the door wouldn't open after it closed on my hand. It took the fire dept more then an hour to get my hand out.
15 years old. Got jumped in Stanton and clobbered with a lug wrench, skull fracture and another concussion.
15 years old Lived in a foster home in So Central LA and got my arse handed to me everyday for 6 months, no broken bones but a lot of blood was spilt, almost all mine.

16 surfing broken nose and another concussion
17 motorcycle accident broken wrist, broken arm,dislocated shoulder
17 attitude adjustment dislocated jaw, skull fracture.
17 Stabbed in my arm.
18 OC 's finest thought they'd like to see how far back they could bend the smart ass kids arm back before it popped. It popped, dislocated. Sat in the hole for 5 days then they fixed it, the most pain I've ever been in.
18 Motorcycle accident, two broken wrists, broken leg, broken knee, third degree burns,concussion, worst accident so far.
19 Jumped in Santa Ana, broken nose, and jaw, busted teeth, and bruised ribs.
20 was a good year, nothing to report
21 Motorcycle accident-dirt. Broke wrist and tailbone. Compressed to lower vertabrea, very painful.
23 Near drowning, don't recall what happened but they pulled me out of the surf and I was not breathing. While I was in the hospital I got pnemonia and had 28 stitches to the back of my head. Obviously someone had surfed onto my head.
27 last moto accident. Sitting at a light a lady ran into me from behind, knocked me out cold. Broken collar bone and whiplash. This still hurts a lot today.
