I came off a horse which was galloping flat out down the side of a steep hill. Came out of the saddle, summersaulted over it's head, landed on the rocks and rolled 6 metres down crashing through tree branches and hitting jagged rocks all the way down.
February 2005,fell about 30 feet off a scaffold,broke one rib.I was also doing snow removal on the side for this woman at the time ,and went to shovel her snow 2 days after I BROKE MY RIB using one hand because I couldn't find anybody to replace me.
It took me an hour and a half to do her steps,but I got the job done.
Didn't break a bone till I hit my 30's...since then have had a broken bone in my foot, broken nose, four fingers broken, 2 broken toes, one of which I did during the week......
broke my left hand when i feel down a flight of steps broke three ribs one of them punched a whole in my lounge i was givin this breating thing that looked like a bong to help heal the whole
I broke(shattered ) my heel last summer drove my tibia straight thru it, a plate, some pins and a cadaver bone graft later---it was a life changing event!!! One stupid poor judgement! May I recommend to never jump off a dock if you do not know how deep the water is? Ironically enough, I was the second person in the emergency room that day who had done the same thing and had the same outcome~~~~they dont let you walk or weight bear for 3 months with a broken bell, by the way.

broke 5 ribs...3 at one time broke my arm 2 years ago in 3 places diving into a pool...yes it had water broken ankle broken eye orbit (I was mugged) broken nose (same mugging) broke fingers a few times
Only thing close is when I cracked my kneecap and top of the tibia from falling up a set of marble steps (no give there lol). But I managed to save the bowl of sweet & sour sauce I carrying.
Twice to date. First time a couple ribs playing sandlot football. The last an ankle while attempting to ski. 3 mos. in a cast with the ankle - that REALLY sucked!!
