I have broken both of my arms. First time I fell on the icy lake where I was skating. I was about twelve and very energetic. We had a deal that we do performances on skates and on the finish we do fake fall. My fall didn't come out quite fake, I fell after decided to do somersault. Auch, it hurt a lot. My friends thought that's the fake fall and clapped. Next day I got gyps around my left hand. My right hand broke in the summer when I was 15 years old. I played football with my brother in out yard, as it wasn't too big the football field was tiny. My brother got angry after his little sister (me) got a goal and from his all strength kicked a ball straight in my goal but me silly girl put my loose hand to stop the ball, and it broke.

Yes, I actually have...and it's a very embarrassing story. I fell UP the stairs and broke both of my middle fingers. Yes, that was delightful.

How would one fall UP the stairs? Can you explain?

Sure! :-) I was running up the stairs, tripped, and tried catching myself with my hands...and fell ever worse causing my fingers to break.

yes, i have broken a bone in my foot. i was running down the stairs to help my (at the time) boyfriend (now hubby of 21 years) with the door but i missed the bottom two stairs! i couldnt walk on it but we didnt go to the er, but my parents took me the next day. i was lucky though, cause it was summer and i ended up having 6 weeks off work.

I have had a broken leg once, which was very painful. I have broken a toe a couple of times, but there's no point going to the hospital about that, as they can't do anything. I've badly twisted my wrist once, which was painful as well. Apart from that, I haven't had any major injuies at all, I guess I've been luckier than most!

Ow, your stories sound like your injuries hurt a lot. o_o I have no idea what it feels like to break something, because the closest thing I've gotten to an actual injury is maybe a light sprain. I'm really curious to know what happens and what you feel like when you break an arm or a leg, but... maybe I shouldn't try it out. xD

No, never, although I almost broke my right hands baby finger, it is now bent slightly by default unless I use my muscle to straighten it.
