Bike related (so bcipam feels better): Ambulance ride into ER because of broken femur that occurred while riding my bike.
Non-bike related:
- broken collarbone from falling off a chair. I was only three, but it was an early sign of what a clutz I would be throughout life.
- had to get my hand looked at after it had gotten run over by the front wheel of a parked trailer. No broken bones, and no stitches required. I was 8, but I really don't want to talk about why my hand got run over by a trailer.
- a group of friends in college knew of a great place to go party for the afternoon. To get there, you had to go over a barbed wire fence. Getting there was no problem, getting back over was -- after the party and all. To the ER -- no stitches required, but got a tetanus shot as a precautionary measure.
- making softball a contact sport. (Really smart if you're 5'1" and ~115 lbs!) Ran into a teammate while trying to catch a linedrive. Her open mouth & teeth went around my right eye. Boy, head wounds sure bleed a lot!! Stitches to close the cut above and below my eye. Had a huge shiner for a while -- people would come up to me asking if I was being abused. Nope, just softball. But I encouraged them to keep asking, because if I was being abused, I'd hope someone would be willing to show me how to find help.
