Right knee and tibia, left ankle and left shoulder, all in the same accident. Took a header off a walk board 35 feet off the ground. Managed to turn feet first when my left shoulder hit a bundle of communications cables. It takes a LONG time to fall 35 feet. Landed perfectly - missed straddling an aluminum door frame by a few inches. Was told that my left foot would have to be amputated but thankfully someone - not me, I was out of it on morphine, sought the advice of a world renowned orthopedic surgeon who said it wasn't absolutely necessary. Initially told I would be permanently disabled and would not walk for 24 months. Had 5 surgeries. I was back at work in a little over 7 months. I have walked with a limp though for 36 years and counting....

"Ole boy still limps a might....." replied the recruit....
"What old boy?" asks the Army doctor...
"Old boy whose leg bone I broke" replied the recruit...

Collarbone and shoulder blade - Wreck while racing BMX
Ankle - HS Football
Same Ankle - Basketball
Cheekbone/Orbital Socket - HS Football (finger through facemask)
Nose - basketball
Big Toe - Goofing off on diving board
Sesamoid (ball of foot) - years of running in cleats
I'm sure there's more than that...but I can't remember them all right now...that will be explained if there is a "how many concussions have you had" thread

Never broken a bone outside of finger and toes

Somehow I have made it this far without a single broken bone. Bizarre for an adrenaline junky with a handful of hobbies that actually kill people. I have gotten up from a bunch of crashes racing crits that while I was missing plenty of skin and the ortho stuff stayed intact. My old teammates used to call me rubber man or Stretch Armstrong. Apparently, I instinctively know how to fall.
I have this feeling when I get older I will sit down hard and break every bone in my body at once in some cosmic karma event.

Is it too late to say that I broke my boner off in your mom?

Not a bone, but my herniated disc was a mystery.
Went from running 2-10 miles regularly to waking up one day and my left leg and foot was numb.
Not too long after, my back would kill me in the morning before I got under some hot water.
NP couldn't see me for weeks, so I went to the emergency room. Dr. said surgery was necessary. Took a year to have it. Left leg and foot are still numb. I'm finally getting over the embarrassment of how I walk.
I don't know how it happened. I guess it was gradual and I wasn't aware.

Are you asking how many were broken on each of us, or how many we were responsible for? 
In no particular order:
Nose (someone else) - playing flag football, I accidently elbowed a guy in his nose as I turned catching the ball at the same spot he leaned forward to grab my flag
Nose (Mine) - kicked in a fight
Jaw (someone else) - same fight, guy tried to go in for a takedown and I kneed him in the jaw to stop him - it worked
Collar bone (someone else) - tackle football
Foot (mine) - one of those obstacle course races. Dropped off an ~10' wall and landed wrong
Nose (mine) - head butted going for a loose ball in basketball

Just my nose if you count it.
Tripped and fell and hit the corner of a bench when I was 6.

Never broken a bone.
Had my eye popped like a grape though, so, there's that.
Unlike a bone it didn't grow back together where I could use it

Other than fingers and cracked ribs I haven't broken anything. Been concussed a quite a few times, though.

Right foot, hit by a car when I was 12. Riding my bike toward traffic like you’re supposed to, kid late for class went to pass someone and didn’t see me. Managed to somersault over and land on my feet, broke my foot on the landing. Thankfully bike soaked up most of the impact.
Collarbone, birdbath fell on me.
