A few more:

1. When i was in like 1st or 2nd grade there was a huge slide and i fell off from the top(like 20 feet in the air) and fell on my head. I didnt break any bones but i dont think ive been the same since :lol: j/k.

2. When i was like 2 1/2 i climbed up on my moms dresser and jumped off and landed on whats called a bumble ball (its a ball with spikes on it, not sharp spike like flat ones, and when you turn it on it shakes and stuff.). My mom thought i broke my foot so she took me to the ER and the x rays turned up nothing but i had an x ray about 3 years later and they said i had fractured that foot, but it was healed. But anytime it gets really cold my foot starts to hurt a huge amount.

Regards, I had a good one but forgot it.(must have been that fall :lol: )

EDIT: I remeber the one i forgot. I was riding my cousins electric scooter and it was goin pretty fast down a hill and i hit the curb and losened a tooth(that was permanent) and sratched up my foot(still haves the scars). But my tooth tightened over night.

When I was in 5th grade, we went to this stupid camp. So I'm there, and there's a rope swing. Everyone makes it -- but me, the guy catching the kids missed me, and I hit my head on the ground. I got a minor concusion, and that's all.

When I was about 2, I rolled down a hill, and almost landed on a slab on concrete, but my dad caught me.

I was going really fast on a cheap knock-off Sharper Imager Razor Scooter. So this dog runs out in front of me, and I fall of and hurt myself. The lady that didn't have her dog on a leash, she could care less about me.
There's probably more that I forgot about. :P
Needless to say, I've never broken any bones!

Just remembered, in 1st grade, I was trying to make a ticket dispenser out of a cardboard box. I take a steak knife, and I slice my finger. Go to the ER, and I get stiches. I actually asked for a bandaid before going to the hospital.

Also, in 6th grade I almost died. I was so sick that I could neither eat or drink anything, so I get dehydrated, and I was CRAZY hungry!. So a week passes, and I got to the hospital to get an IV, and I was all better.

Lol, I'm so mr cautious, nothing really has happened.

Worst was I was at my dads friends cottage, was playing hockey on the porch, the stick jammed and slammed into my groin and I fell onto some pavement.

So yeah, nothings really happened to to me being so cautious and all.

Well I guess I'll add some more.

In fourth grade I was over at a friends house, and was sleeping over. Well the hardwood floor was... well it sucked. and I inadvertanly got a nice big sliver shoved up into my right knee. It broke off and required me to get a doctor to surgicly remove the thing.

In fifth grade I was at the county community college (science olympiades) and well I was in a hurry to get to the first event. I tripped will running and split my left knee open.

This one is kind of border line me/my mother. We were in Florda, and well in Miami we tried to get to the beach. Problem is that well crossing an 8 lane highway we got hit on the passager side (behind the rear axal). We went for a tumble (car rolled about 3 times), and I went half way out the back window. Scratched my glasses, got about 3 or 4 laserations on my head. Now to clearify things, I was sitting in back and not wearing a seatbelt, and so you know it was a Chevy Venture.

I think thats about it.

Well, I am Mr. Injury. When I was 6 I jumped off of a picnic table playing He-Man and broke my arm in two places, compound fractures. About 4 years ago, I was lifting weights and thought there was a lot of weight on the machine. I lifted it with enough force to lift what I thought was a heavy weight, and needless to say, there was about 10 lbs on the machine instead of 100. I lifted the weight and broke off my two front teeth and had to get 2 root canals, fun stuff. Then about 2 years ago, I was at work loading some pallets onto a fork life where I got bitten on the finger by a venomous snake. I passed out for about 5 minutes, and my hand swelled up to the size of a softball. The bad thing was, I was getting ready to go on vacation. I went anyway, even though my doctor didn't like it.
Life is a lot like a video game without the extra lives and continues.

I remembered something else,

When i was like 5 or 6 we went on a holiday to the isle of weight and stayed in some place ,i was pretty young so the only thing i remember about the place is that the house for white and it had chihckens and rabbits ans stuff. Anyways, the only other memory of that holiday is that we had bunk beds and i was on top and i also remember a hidiously brown carpet (you can probably see where this is going :) ), i rolled off in my sleep and i woke up just to see the brown carpet rush up and hit me in the face, surprisingly i was that hurt, bonus :lol:

Well I never broke anything, but iv'e gotten minor scratches in very dumb ways.

when i first got a soldering iron i was using it and was woried i had ruined the tip so i hold it up to my face with no concerns since i'm wearing glasses and have a look and not thinking put my left hand
out to steady it and take firm hold of the metal shield before the tip with 3 fingers and my thumb.
would have been better if inhad let go faster.


before that when i was 8 or 9 i decided to climb on the back of one of those kozy koop things and send it down a hill now it was quite a ride the first time but the second time my feet slipped and i'm just hanging to the roof my feet dragging behind. the catch shorts and no shoes! so tyere i go screaming like the dickens until I hit a mail box and stoped. needless to say my legs were pretty cut up after that (the road was one of those cement and gravel deals).
