OzFox Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 Iron railing with arrowhead through arm 8 stitches in back 5 stitches in ear 4 stitches in eyebrow cracked head open left side 2 broken arms 2 broken wrists dislocated finger cracked ribs spinal surgery 3 replacement front teeth torn ankle ligaments bottom lip once touched nose due to swelling I've stubbed my toe a couple of times too but I still say the worse pain I've had is toothache and scariest injury cramp in my toes whilst open water swimming. Did it ever cross your mind during this catalogue of woe, that maybe extreme sports isn't your thing? Or was it all one accident? I had a friend who was right into base jumping, taking incredible risks and loving it. Then one of his mates died on a fairly routine hang gliding trip. Suffice to say my mates been a lot more careful since.

His mate died recently base jumping and if anything he jumps more often now.

His mate died recently base jumping and if anything he jumps more often now. I suppose if you're gonna go, might as well with a bang (or a splat). Somebody base jumped inside St Pauls cathedral in the early 90s. Even managed to gather the chute and get out without being arrested. Think it still might be the "lowest" one ever
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 Would need to pull the chute as he jumps, wouldn't see the point of that. Yeah dangerous hobby, i've only seen him sky dive once out of a helicopter in the Swiss Alps and he stuffed the landing and his ankle real bad. It was enough to put me off.
OzFox Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 yes, too right they do i once heard you would be more likely to kill someone than knock them out . concussion is fookin awful and some of the effects last months . I gave up rugby cuz of it I worked on a programme recently about the long term effects of concussion in rugby/Aussie rules/NFL. Both pro and amateur. The story featured one of the All Blacks, Steve Devine. He was in a right state after several concussions...like a zombie basically. Falling asleep all the time, severe migraines, no short term memory. Even NFL players aren't protected by a helmet because with every impact, even minor ones, the brain is still getting smashed around inside the skull. I don't wanna worry you or anything but the long term prognosis isn't good if you've had a few concussions. If you start acting weird, believing outlandish theories etc I'd go and see a quack pronto.

Yeah, does seem a bit pointless

Did the Program cover Junior Seau who commited Suicide believed to be as he was suffering from lasting effects from over a dozen years in the NFL?
OzFox Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 Did the Program cover Junior Seau who commited Suicide believed to be as he was suffering from lasting effects from over a dozen years in the NFL? I think 4 Corners ran an American programme last year that talked about him. A lot of the research has been done over there at harvard. They are finding that lots of little hits can be as bad as a few big ones Some of the AFL stuff is pretty bad...like this one on Jordan Lewis
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 Do you cover Big Kosi at any stage? I still get chills watching the sportsworld interview when he collapses, a week after he was knocked out. Then again i love watching the courage of someone like Browny who can run in to a pack of players even after his copped broken jaws and the like
OzFox Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 Do you cover Big Kosi at any stage? I still get chills watching the sportsworld interview when he collapses, a week after he was knocked out. yeah I saw that. He tried to pass it off saying he hadn't slept much or had breakfast or something. AFL have done quite a lot to look after concussed players. The NRL are really cagey about it though, although i think they recently banned shoulder barges
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 New rule came in last season, if a player gets knocked out or cops a heavy hit the club doctor has to do a concussion test. If found concussed he can take no futher part in the match and may miss the next match on medical advice.
Guest Basildon Fox Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 I was opening up the gates at work several years ago and the lock was a bugger to open. Put all my might in to opening it but when it went I had my thumb between one of the metal railings and the lock so as it slid back it trapped my thumb. Split it open and you could see the inside of my thumb. Worse thing was I had the keys and as I was the only one there had to wait for 20 minutes for a couple of other work colleagues to turn up before I could go to the hospital. The worst one I have seen though was my sisters ex husband. We were on a family holiday in Jersey and he slipped off some rocks at the beach. He broke his thigh bone in 2 places and the rest of the leg rotated about 45 degrees. Took him about a year to fully recover and he had to have the bone pinned.
Danno Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 Was doing some preening around my bollocks once and slipped and took a slice of skin of my cock... Horriblest thing ever...
Tielemans63 Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 I've cracked one of my toenails playing 5 a-side this evening. It's all bruised and everything.
Father Ted Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 Anyone else ever get those calf cramps that wake you up in the night? I get about one a year, it's that kind of unimaginable pain where all you want to do for a few seconds is die. Rolling arond the floor screaming like a twat. I get it in my hamstrings.. not nice at all
lc4lcfc Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 actual injuries, playin football my foot was stamped on and i couldnt put wieght on it for 2 days, torn knee ligaments, pain keeps coming back as a kid i puilled an iron oiff the ironing board, nasty burn on the thigh ive broken my nose 5 times (if anything it gets more painful!) cracked my chin open when i was 9 on monkey bars (luckily i was wearing an england away shirt!) hurt my back in a game of rugby (had a sports massage months later and on a scale of 1-10 of how ****ed up my back is she replied 11) but funnily enough ive had 2 car accidents and walked away with minimal damage
FoxesAreBlue Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 I have a scar on my fore head from where I tripped on a giant library cushion and school and nutted a chair. Now you can only see it in low light
Danno Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 Cramp means your muscle is basically not recieving enough blood to it and just contracts, or it is just muscle fatigue.
Mee Posted 14 September 2012 Posted 14 September 2012 When i get calf cramp i love the pain for some reason. Might google to see how to make myself have it.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 14 September 2012 Posted 14 September 2012 I get cramps when im shagging, from trying to stop myself from farting . . . . . . . . . . . .
SystonFox Posted 14 September 2012 Posted 14 September 2012 Calf cramp is unbelieveable excruciating pain. Wanna punch someone else on the nose whilst I'm suffering that. Usually biting a pillow helps
OzFox Posted 15 September 2012 Posted 15 September 2012 I get cramps when im shagging, from trying to stop myself from farting . . . . . . . . . . . . Sounds like a classic symptom of early middle age
stix Posted 15 September 2012 Posted 15 September 2012 I get cramps when im shagging, from trying to stop myself from farting . . . . . . . . . . . . Reading this made me laugh out loud! Not ideal at half five in the morning in a sleepy house! Cheers though!
Orkneyfox Posted 15 September 2012 Posted 15 September 2012 I was once walking a metal boxing ring frame, the canvas had been removed and I thought it would be a good idea to show off my tight wire walking skills. Unfortunately I slipped and one leg went down either side of the 2" L shaped frame. Impact between legs was extremely sore, though I did go on in later life to have 4 kids so no permanent damage.
