What is the most *grievous* injury you have ever gotten?

Post by Avis_de-Incendia »

No joke. The guys of science Olympiad would like to see blood. >:|

I've gotten my hand cut open deeply enough to see the bone...

A foot broken sprained and cut at the same time (stepped on a knife)

and my face cut open.

>:)

nothing ever happens to me
i ALMOST broke my thumb by getting it slammed in a door (it was bleeding a ton inside)
i ALMOST broke my pinkie of the other hand by... *cough* accedentally ramming it into a slide :oops: :lol:
when i was in kindergarten i was triking :D down a steep asphalt hill and scraped the skin off my entire left elbow. i still see the mark.
i accedentally got a sewing pin stuck a centimeter into my left thumb, thankfully on the surface
that's all i can think of. no bone injuries.

I cut my head open when I tripped and landed on a glass coffee table when I was about two years old. Others usually don't trust me with sharp objects because I have a habit of accidentally cutting myself. It's a shame really, sharp objects are really useful and can be fun. I ignore my better judgement.

I broke my leg falling down the stairs when I was 3...
Then at the beach, I swam into a jagged rock and gashed my knee

Nothing has really happened to me but my dad was putting down floors in my cousin's house & the saw cut down the middle of his finger & skipped across the back of his hand. He could pull back the skin & see the tendons ugghhhh

in 10th grade i was playing basketball in gym and i jumped to block a shot and landed on my ankle wrong, and i ended up spraining my ankle and breaking my big toe. i had a football game the day after so i played all taped up. now, my big toe didn't heal properly and my ankle is weaker than the other one
