Strangest injuries you've ever suffered

I'm sitting here, typing with one hand while holding an icepack on my right eye with the other, wondering if I'm somehow caught in a bad movie. Apparently it's entirely possible to launch a fork into your own eye if it's hanging over the edge of your sink and you hit it while reaching in to extract one of the missing keys your cat has been distributing all over your apartment.

Fate must have it in for me, because not only have I gotten my naughty bits caught in a mousetrap (protip: if your younger brother is prone to playing pranks on you, it might be wise to preemptively beat him to a bloody pulp before it escalates that far), but a large industrial fridge once fell on me. It was attached to the freezer, which locks itself to re-establish pressure after being closed - unfortunately, I slipped on an ice cube immediately after closing the freezer, and reflexively grabbed the nearest handle to hold myself up... apparently, the bolts holding it to the wall had rusted. Have you ever experienced a full-on adrenaline rush, the kind that lets mothers lift cars off their babies? All I can remember is lying under that fridge, pretty sure that I'd broken several bones, and still woozy from the ceramic plate that fell off the fridge and shattered on my head - and yet somehow finding the strength to not only bench the fridge, but slide myself out from under it.

What's the strangest injury or injuries you've ever suffered? I ask this because I need some quality schadenfreude right now.

I saw "Fate must have it in for me" and I automatically laughed.


Anyway... I'm relatively accident free. The only weird thing was "falling" down the stairs and sliding most of the way down on my butt. That HURT.

Your life is painfully funny.

The only injury I remember is that I was being a 5-year-old and I jumped off the couch. I predictably hit my head on the corner of the coffee table. I remember picking at the stitches afterwards, getting a scar, and being called "Harry Potter" by my friends.

Somehow I managed to fracture my wrist on a go-kart without crashing as a kid. I just remember setting off and then stopping because my wrist was swelling like mad and it hurt a lot. D=

Also this happened in France and I went to hospital and they spelt my name wrong. ;_;

I once tore a ligament in my knee the day before a recruiting visit to a college by hopping about two inches up in the air.

I... Lemu... what? DDD:

My strangest injury is probably when I cut my forehead completely open when I was four years old. It was on an end table when I was doing gymnastics on my couch. Yeah... My mom was also washing her dog in the bath. I told her I was fine when she heard the noise despite my face being covered in blood.

Yeeeah.

I hit my head on the ceiling in 9th grade while jumping down the stairs. I had to go to the ER for staples and got called "Zipperhead" at school for a few weeks.

Also, my brother hit his face on a table at one of his birthday parties and broke one of his teeth in half.

I had a permanent tooth coming in crooked, and the way it was going, it would have come out of the roof of my mouth. So I had oral surgery in which they put a bracket on the tooth that was crooked, and then attached a chain to the bracket, connecting it to the wire of my braces, then sewed the roof of my mouth back up, and then twice every month I had to go to the orthodontist so that they could tighten the chain and pull the tooth through my flesh into the correct position.

I also had a dainty chain inside my mouth to play with for a few months.

My oddest was probably either one I can't remember but I've been told about many times, when there were construction workers in the house in Plymouth I lived in as a baby, I was walking into the back yard when the front door opened, and the back door slammed quite heavily from the air pressure changing or whatever on my finger. Somehow I didn't break anything. The oddest I actually remember would be a tie between tripping over my own shoelace on a friend's house's staircase and falling to the bottom and splitting the middle of my upper lip open in an awkward as hell place (which then led me to going to hospital, where they kept trying to put anaesthetic into the wound and the needle kept going completely through my lip until the nurses just flat out refused to hold me down any more since they felt guilty. This then led to my current state of being petrified at the mere sight of a needle), or tripping over a wheelie cart that was full of grass cuttings somehow and falling onto the road, where my leg was quickly flattened. This led to the only broken bone I've ever had; namely my lower left leg, in 2 places, the bone actually came through the skin. This was 10 years ago and the scars are still clearly visible, and I still don't have most of the feeling where the scars are. I was supposed to either get a leg cage or get pins put in the leg to keep the bone in place, but somehow the bone reattached itself, thankfully. Oddly my problems now are with my right leg, my left's actually pretty powerful.

Me and my sister used to do obstacle courses in the garden, involving a variety of games like doing leapfrog or running around in a circle and saying something stupid. I had just stuck my head through a basketball hoop, and had just shouted 'I'm Action Man!' when I ducked out of it again and got my teeth stuck around the hoop. My front two teeth were almost knocked out D:
Luckily they sorted it out and my face is almost normal.
:awe:

jokes lol I'm fine

Yeah, I've never had any major injuries like this. Just generic falls and grazes.
