Have you ever broken a bone before?

Last summer I was riding an ATV in an unfamiliar territory where I saw a small hill and I decided to climb it. On the other side of the hill, unfortunately, was a 25 foot drop off. I jumped off the ATV and suffered severe trauma to my right leg. While in the ambulance the paramedic had told me that I had broke both my tibia and fibula, the two long bones between your knee and ankle. It was pretty painful, but I have since recovered and life is almost back to normal. Have you ever had an incident in your life where you broke a bone, or two? Tell your story here.

my story isn't very interesting but i've broken 2 fingers, at seperate times and i broke a toe. the first time i broke my finger i was playing basketball in grade 8. my principle who i hated wouldn't beleive me and the next day i came to school with a splint on it and saw her and held up my broken finger and said told you so. the funny part is. it was my middle finger so i proved her wrong and gave her the finger at the same time. i enjoyed that. the second time i broke it i was playing voleyball, then i broke my toe playing soccer, the ball went under the bleachers in the gym, i went to kick it and kicked a board.

I have broken several bones in my life .I was an athlete all through school.In grade 7 I had a skating accident and broke my leg in 18 places it was called a spiral break I was in a cast for 9 months to the hip and then later had to have knee surgery. Then a year later broke my arm in a mountain biking accident. Then I broke my kneecap playing volleyball in grade 12. broke several fingers playing floor hockey and toes numerous times. My nose playing baseball in grade 12 two weeks before prom. lets just say i will be sore in my 60's lol Cheryl
