I've wiped out in one of those tiny Razor scooters flying at 15mph, then I hit a crack in the sidewalk. I clotheslined a tree limb and landed in a thorn bush.

I also jumped two stories off my school roof but only suffered minor bruises.

I attribute my resilience to my copious Rice Milk consumption

Three years ago, I fell off my roof,don't know exactly how, lost conciousness. Anyhow, I woke up with my shirt soaked in blood,and ended up getting a part of a rock taken out of my face, and getting 18 stitches in my face.

i was drilling out some screws on a cd player, and when one of them was through, the drill bit grabbed into the soft plastic, began twisting weirdly, then snapped in half! (this was like a 1/4" drill bit). the jagged part in the drill, which was still spinning, went straight into the skin between my index and middle finger on my left hand.

examining the wound later, it kinda went in at an angle, and almost came out the other side. the skin there is kind of webby (look at your hand), and i think i punctured a hole right through the skin, into whatever is inside there.

anyhow, it was sort of a shocking experience. there wasnt much pain at first... just a lot of surprise. after just grabbing my hand tightly for a while i decided to look at it. yeah. it looked pretty bad. i decided to climb two flights of stairs to get some sort of bandaid. at the top i sort of passed out. my dad was there and i remember saying something to him... or something. i went down on one knee, and for about 30 seconds it was like ... weird. like drugs or something. i couldnt feel my body and i was seeing colours.

anyhow. after that, and then lying down for 10 minutes (i was very clammy and very cold) i was fine. my mom forced me to go to the doctors but they just told me to get a bandaid

Quite often when somebody hurts themself accidently, like you did, they can go into a sort of mental shock from the surprise and amazement of what happened. You don't have to have hurt yourself badly, just thinking of it makes your brain concentrate fully on one thing, which is the injury, and cease to be able to control your body for a short period of time.

Too tired to write a paper on mental activity but your brain is plenty active doingthings anyway. American doctors believe this may be true. Fact is it is not. just makes you brain need more oxygen! Another thing it can do is cause mre blood flow to your brain thus helping but its a gamble.

ive had hydrochloric, Nitric and Sulphuric acid (undilute i.e. Concentrated) all over me in various places. Thermite reaction gone horribly wrong was oh so painful.......

I once injured myself while trying to injure someone else.

I was in 6th grade, I think. So I must have been about 11 years old. Me and 5 friends decided to head to the park to play some baseball. There were only 6 of us, so we played 3 on 3. There would be the pitcher, a guy between first and second, and a guy between second and third. So I was playing the 1st/3rd position when a slow grounder was hit to me. I fielded it, and started running full force towards the base (which was probably a piece of garbage). We slammed right into each other, hitting our foreheads together. Pretty funny if you ask me. I was smiling and giggling a little afterwards. But the other guy was as amused. So he picked up a handful of dirt and threw it in my face.

So we both hop to our feet and I punch him really good, but everyone comes and breaks it up before it could get worse. Thing is, when I punched him I thought I heard a crack and assumed it was his face. Well, most of the punch connected on the knuckle of my pinky finger and it broke the bone behind the knockle. The doctor who set the bone and did the cast called it a boxer's fracture. I thought that was kind of cool.

I have a couple

1: I was 7 years old and was running around in an empty gym and the janitor was mopping the floor and he left for a break so i played with the mop and a got spot on the floor wet later i moved the bucket to that spot and thought it'd be fun trying to jump over the bucket... Need less to say i slipped and my arm landed under me in a very twisted away which broke my forearm, wrist and dislocated my shoulder

2: I was 12 and playing at recess at school and started running near the basketball courts. Then i tripped over a rock and slammed my face into the basket ball hoop pole thingy and got a concussion. I couldnt remember things for about 10 minutes.

3: I was playing with my uncles dog (full grown rotweiler) and was pulling its tail and sitting on it (Hey, I was 5 years old then) Then the dog got pissed and literally ripped my right cheek open so i went to the hospital and had to get it sewn shut. Remarkably there isnt that big of a scar...

Eh.. I'm feelin daguuy's pain about not being able to break a bone at all. Although I'm not saying it's a bad thing. But here is a couple other injuries...

1. On a trip to the lake of the ozarks a couple years back, we were on the highway and I had to pee... So you know the deal, we pull over on the side of the highway next to the hill. And being young and dumb and full of energy back then, I decided to go all the way up the hill. When I'm done, I start running down the hill, and when I hit about the middle I realized how fast I was moving, so I go to stop and my knees absorbed all the shock, so I fell down on them. And wouldn't ya know it, a rock (a very sharp rock actually...) decideds to be sitting in my landing spot. I didn't know it did anything at first. I got up and walked to the car like nothing happened. Only when I sat down did I realizzed the full extent to the damage that I have done to my knee. I lift up my pant leg, and there was a gash the size of my whole knee. I was like 'WTF!? How the hell... Oh... I see... The fall...' So needless to say my dad took me to some hospital like thingy, and I got a few stitches to seal it up... then went back on to the trip.

2. Back when I was even younger, I was racing someone (footrace) around a house for a couple laps, and our dad were also siding the house at this time. So on around my third lap, I'm runnin at full speed across the front of the house, and I look back to see where my competitor is. Unknown to me at this time, my dad had set up some soffit on some horses. So I'm still lookin back runnin at full speed - I go to turn my head forward... BOOM! Right in the lips. Did one full rotation before I hit the ground again. Eh. Needless to say I had a fatlip for a couple of days...

3. A little while back, me and some friends were making a zombie movie. There was a scene where I was a zombie and I had this dude cornered and I was approaching him. The place we were at was being worked on at the time once again. So he gets up to run, elbows me in the face (didn't really touch me, but you know - had to react for the camera) So I spun around and fell over and slammed my hand on a board. At this point i still didn't know anything has happened. So I was laying on the ground until the shot was over. So I go to get up, I'm on my knees just about to get up when my left hand won't budge. So I'm thinking there must be somethin sticky on the board or something. So I just get up with the board stuck to my hand, lifting it up with me, so I'm holding it there for a second. Finally I just snapped my hand up so the board would shake loose. I watched the board fall and hit the ground. I looked down at it before looking at my hands.

- the reaction on my face when I realized what was where my hand was....

...A nail...
So yeah, I look up at my hand which is now pouring out blood, once again thinking 'wtf...' - so I just cupped it and walked home and put a band-aid on it.

4. Sliced my finger on a speaker tryin to rip a plastic piece off. And a nasty slice it was.

Eh, there's prolly more but I'm tired of typing.
