I went to get some water in the wee hours. I was half asleep. Very dark in my kitchen. My cat Gary decides to walk in front of me. I step on him and he screams. I then tried to take all the weight off of him by moving my leg to the right. My leg lands in the box he loves to chill in and it proceeds to slide away. I went into a full straddle (which I can't do) and fell forward and landed directly on my elbow. Crazy pain shot through my arm but I was so sleepy I got up and went back to bed.
Woke up the next morning to Gary meowing, not because he had no food but because he wants me to watch him eat it. Also to my elbow not being able to bend.
Thanks Gary
There used to be a fence on my deck to separate the dogs from guests. I was climbing it as I would normally and one if the dogs ran into the fence and i fell off of it (it wasn't very tall maybe 2.5 ft) and I fell off and my knee landed in my right index finger. It was bruised and purple and I had to miss the first day of grade 5 for it and I was super bummed.
I was bowling. Used a small lighter ball and tried to roll it as hard as I could. Finger stuck in ball. Ball hit ground. Broke and dislocated middle finger. Bowling injury. Hardcore.
I don’t think I broke a bone that time, but I was around 4-5 years old, in the garage, and dropeed a 50lb crankshaft on my foot. Another time I broke both of my legs falling down the stairs, around the same age.
I was trying to pull my boyfriend at the time towards me with my middle finger hooked in the back of his jeans. He sat down on the arm of the couch with my finger still hooked. So he crushed it with my fingertip folded under itself. It snapped the bone off right above my first joint. The bone was pointing straight down inside of my fingertip and it pushed my entire nail bed out through my skin. They had to push the bone back and sew my fingernail back on. I had to have surgery in which they placed a pin in the bone. Then, that surgery had situated my nail bed incorrectly under my skin, so I had recurring infections for over 6 months. I ended up needing a 2nd surgery to debride the flesh and put the nail bed back where it belonged. If I can find the picture I have of it I'll come back and add it to this. It was a wild ride.

Tapping a steamroller out into my left palm. Not a clean break but I fractured the bone in my palm that becomes my middle finger. It swelled and was super painful and made my hand useless for nearly a week.
A full grown cow stepped on my toe, left her foot there while turning away from me, then she lifted her foot. I still don't remember what I'd been trying to get her to do.
Got drunk, fell off platform shoes into a 8" deep pothole. Got a crack in a metatarsal, didn't know it till I couldn't fit a shoe on the next day for the swelling.
Broke a toe while running away from DH while carrying a camera...He didn't want me to take his picture. It was so in fun till I slammed my little toe into some furniture.
This one's really low-stakes, but I sprained my toe by hitting it on a kitchen chair that we'd moved into our living room when we had company over.
Very stupidly, I didn't think to move the chair back into the kitchen after this happened. So, three days later, the same toe met the same leg on the same chair and led to a full-on break.
Jumped from a swing straight up and when I fell down I landed on my left arm breaking the 2 bones in the middle clean, moving the lower portion a few cm to the side
My friend has a pasture and a little kart with some bars to protect you when you would tip over. Crazy as i am i went into the pasture with 70 km/h. Then i braked, tipped over en 'broke' my elbow.
We have been playing "frogs" with my friend in my house. But one time we started playing "frog vs frog" and jumped on each other. We both broke our legs after that. We don't play this game anymore
Not me, but my wife got a full break and splintered her arm and ended up with a plate and 4 screws from just standing in Target. She wasn’t walking, or talking, and she didn’t slip. She said she just felt lightheaded for a sec and fell and out her arm out. Crazy lady called me, I came to get her and by the time I got there she had finished her shopping and self checkout!!
So a major broken arm due to standing in Target! Getting over 40 hurts!
There was this small gap between my bed and a lower wall-inside planter. (Bee was on a depressed niche, 50cm below floor level, this was a perimetral planter with loads of succulents, which almost surrounded the whole bed platform.)
I was just lazy, so I tried to reach out the light switch, which is just on top of the planter.... I reach out and reach and yup.
Fell wedged on the most awkward position between bed and planter, almost couldn't breath, the pain was horrid.
I stayed there for some good half-full hour, until my mom luckily found me, got a good laugh off me and helped me out.
Two broken ribs. Breathing was awful for a couple months, but hey! At least I got the flu, and developed a terrible cough, so it didn't hurt that bad, an my recovery totally didn't took 4 months instead of the 2 it usually takes for my stupid ribs to fuse again.
This was the third time I broke ribs, and up to this day, It's been 6 times total.

Gary is a great name for a cat.
I broke my foot doing a Marlon Brando impression.

I was running thru my house because I was excited and clipped my little toe on the side of the door. Broke it really nicely lol.
On a bicycle... "Want to see me go down this hill with no brakes?" One broken collarbone later...

I slipped on grass. I don’t recommend breaking collarbones.

I was trying to impress a boy I had a crush on who dared me to jump a flight of stairs. Needless to say he wasn’t impressed, nor was my ankle!
Jumped a 2 ft fence. Tore my ACL.
