Walking out of my camper with a cup of coffee in my hand, I slid 4 steps down and landed on a concrete pad! Broke my pelvis in 3 areas and had torn muscles in each groin! Took 6 months to recover. So painful!

When I was six I lost control of by Big Wheel on an inclined driveway and slammed into the back of my dad's car bumper and knocked my brand new front tooth out.

Broke a lot of bones. Everything from falling off of a roof to missing a ramp on a bike. Most freak was crawfishing as a kid from the side of a canal and working the nets. I stepped on a ground hornet hole, felt like I was on fire and woke up in a hospital some time later.

Black woman nurse ran a stop sign and hit me on my BSA 650 motorcycle. Knocked into a stop sign across the street from fire station.

Was lying in a bed of fire ants and the medics wouldn't let up until they saw them.

Rope swing at my neighbor's house when we were kids. About 50' of rope tied to this big arse branch. They pushed me off and the rope rubbed the tree. I didn't realize it then but there was a hatchet stuck in the tree about 6' up. It came down and hit me in the forehead. Mom lost her shite when I came running in the house covered in blood.

I have many but this was the most freak.

Accidentaly shot myself in the thigh with a staple gun stapling my pants to my leg. Staples were about 2 inches long. Felt weird pulling it out while the staple scraped along my thigh bone.

I fell off a step-stool onto a kids table and chairs shin first while trying to clean flarp off of my son’s ceiling. He was probably 5 at the time. I sounded like the dad from Christmas Story fighting with the furnace.

Landed funny trying to avoid a puddle while running a 10k. Leg hurt the next day and got gradually worse for about a month - 5 weeks before I finally couldn’t take it anymore and went to the doctor. Turns out I’d been walking around on a fractured femur all that time, (actually ran a 15k on it) and had to have emergency surgery to put 3 huge screws in it. It was not a real fun experience overall.

A. Shot a 3 inch framing nail (10penny?) into my thigh, it all went in except for the half moon head. Pulled it out with pliers then got a tetanus shot.

B. Picked up a watermelon out of a grocery cart at the car and tore a bicep tendon. Thought it had broken my arm. Surgery wired and screwed it back to the bone in my lower arm.

Riding home on my bike late one summer afternoon and I cut right in front of a truck while I was trying to cross the highway to get to my house.”. Only alive today because my bike got caught on the front bumper instead of rolling under the truck. Freakish luck . Flew about ten feet when the poor driver slammed his brakes and the truck jolted to a stop. Road rash and banged up elbow . The man driving the truck wanted to drive me the rest of the way home, but since I was only about 50 yards from my house and scared to death of what my dad would say I politely turned him down and drug what was left of my bike the rest of the way to the house. Walked in, told my mom and dad what had happened and that was it. Spent most of the rest of the summer riding my sisters English Racer until I finally cut enough yards to pay for half of a new schwinn.

Doing something up in the hay mow one day, fell down head first and basically lawn darted on the concrete below.

Blew out both ear drums, repaired my esophagus, and crushed two thoracic vertebrae. Managed to walk into the house to tell my mom. She says go lay down you’ll be ok. When she checked on me an hour later she couldn’t get a response so she drove me to the doctors office.

Last thing o remember if vomiting blood like the poltergeist and me pediatrician asking my mom why I wasn’t in the er.


Woke up four days later.

When I was 5, I loved this show "Greatest American Hero". I figured if this dumbass can fly, so can I. I put on my best towel cape, climbed up on my dad's car, and tried to take off. Instead, just like the show, I tripped on my cape, fell, and knocked out the four top front teeth.

When I was 6, my friend down the street accidentally hit me with a putter. It was a kid's set when they used to actually make them out of metal. The putter went most of the way through my cheek. Ended up getting a few stitches to close it up.

When I was 12, I was skating at Baker Rollerland. I flew around the back wall and down through the practice area. As I went to turn back out of the practice area, a kid fell down in front of me. I jumped, stuck the landing, then went face first into a brick wall. My face looked like hamburger, but nothing permanent.

When I was 16, playing TE in a JV football game, took a step to block down on the MLB. The DT took a step back and his knee caught the side of my knee. Knocked my knee cap out of place and damaged the quad tendon.

When I was 18, I was working construction. We were moving lengths of pipe. One of the other guys rigged the lift wrong and the pipe swung and took out my knee. I had a massive gash and swelling, but I just did a first aid so everything could keep their safety bonus.

When I was 40, I was driving the family to Colorado for the first time. We stopped at a campsite in the Rita Blanca Grasslands in the Texas Panhandle. In the morning, I went to step out of the tent. My foot hooked the edge of the tent opening. I tripped and fell face first into a concrete picnic table bench. I had no idea I was injured until I looked back in and saw that I was dripping blood on my wife. We cleaned it up and used some medical glue from the first aid kit to close up my temple area. I was definitely concussed and should gotten stitches, but hey, chicks dig scars.

A month ago, I coughed too much and ended up with an umbilical hernia.
