    For me, it all started when I was three. I climbed up, and fell off of, a 15' high fence into a thorn bush. It was messy.

    Other noteworthy injuries include:
    age 16: A broken left hand and fingers, upon punchung a concrete wall, blowing a 300 bowling game in the eigth frame.
    age 29: 6 broken ribs and a fx. tibia in a terrorist attack in Sharm-el-sheik, Egypt.

    Of course, there have been many more, but none as interesting as the above 3.

    The above exhaustive lists remind me of drunken dickwaving between Matt Hooper and Quint in Jaws.

    I didn't begin to injure myself until I began racing dirt bikes. After that it was a dislocated shoulder, broken fingers and a sprained wrist or two per year until i sold my bike for college.

    Since then I've not hurt myself save for a cracked heel running from a security guard.

    other than lacerations, cracked ribs, black eyes, broken noses, lower back injuries, upper back injuries, elbow bursitis, crushed finger tip, severed toe, i think the worst was a elbow/ upper arm break in 5 easy pieces. was pretty much useless for @ a year.

    P.S. after my vas the stitches dissolved too quick, and my nut could be seen through the opening.

    My sister dropped me onto my head at 5 months, that started the ball rolling. Hairline fracture, top of the skull.

    Not going to bother listing the other 325893256823423 injuries, I'd be here all day.

    ouch

    18 mo-rabies from a skunk...a mo. worth of shots in the stomach
    12-bit by german shepherd-20 stitches
    12-fell 30 ft out of tree...and racked myself on the last branch lac. on my leg (thank god I'm not a guy)
    14-dislocated shoulder and torn subscapular skiing
    19-fractured fibula-drunken skiing not recommended
    19-6 kidney stones in a 2 mo span-no coffee for me
    20-broken collarbone, major concussion-longboarding on campus (my friends found me 10 blocks away wandering around in an acid-esque state)
    20-torn acl- skiing
    21-concussion, blood poisoning-70 mi mtn bike race(I finished though)
    22-3 vertebrae bulged and a facet joint-skiing

    I'm starting to feel the accumulation of injuries. No more "extreme" stunts, I just like to be outside having fun these days.
