no pics but I broke my back in 2 spots, 7 toes, shattered my pinkie finger when my hand got crushed on an oil rig, broke pinkie hitting wall, broke both bones in left arm, more ribs than I can count, and I think that'll be it for now.

COLLARBONE SUCKS!!!!!!!!! i broke mine just over a year ago...nothing to do with a vehicle though, just a fat guy fell on me (true story lol) but my x-ray looked just like that
 






I didn't know I broke mine till medics showed up and she was asking me if anything hurt that she should know about before she started inspecting..I told her I couldn't lift my right arm, and she looked at my shirt and saw the bump trying to stick out...and told me I broke it....It was just a tiny bit from becoming a compound fracture and going out of skin....the inner part of my collar bone raised up approx. 1.85 inches never got it set, and had my sling for about an hr total (couldn't stand the feeling) so you can still feel it way up
 






CCR it sounds like you just abuse your body. wow man

yeah, I am. when I was a kid was the arm when I was sledding, ribs playing football, basketball, and even a few months ago I was wrestling with a buddy and he cracked a few.# rolled an 87 buick le sabre for the broken back.# oil rigs aren't safe so that explains the hand crush.# drunk and stupid punched a wall for fun, clipped the stud with my pinkie.# jumped out of a swing for 3 toes in one foot, had a guy fall on me wrong at a wrestling tournament for 4 bones in the other foot.# yeah, hard on my body is an understatement.# I'll break more as time goes on. scars are a different story, I'm riddled with them.

*edit* I know chics that have broken more bones than me......

I'm sorry, but that is freakin hilarious, hahahahaha.
 






I didn't get any pics or copies of the xrays before the surgery, but I broke the end of the Tibia off where the 2 screws are. I also broke the Fibula, looked like it exploded pretty much in the first xrays, bad enough for 8 screws and the plate :thumbsup:

My dad had the same thing happen to him when he was a kid. He was sliding down his icy driveway, slid right into a rather healthy chick, took her legs out and ended up with a broken collar bone.

The only thing, I've broken was my left arm. I fell and ended up breaking both bones in my left arm about 2 inches above my wrist. I knew it was broken when my wrist hung about 3 inches lower than it should have... :eek: This thread make me wonder if my parents still have that x-ray or not.
 






awww, baby Colin. :D
 






I got 'brakes'
and 'breaks'..
and I have had brakes, that break....kinda
 






Don't have any x-rays to post, buy my one hand had an "issue" with one of those big sliding glass windows falling on it when I was about 4. Still have some faint scars on the fingers.
 






no x-rays either but in 92 got broad sided by a breas truckin my 77 vw bus (shattered collar bone, it is now a surgical stainless rod ,9 broken ribs,shattered lower jaw also surgical stainless,busted hip,crushed skull on the left side that is now stainless plates,and broken nose then back in 87 busted back and two broken knees (jumping out of an airplane for uncle sam) then when i was younger and ran motor cross busted all my fingers at one time or another, crashed my trans am into a pole and broke 11 ribs that realy sucked, that is all i can think of right now:D:D
 






I don't have any pics or x-rays. I "broke" my left arm (I'm left handed so that was fun) rollerblading when I was young. I hit some rocks and flipped backward and broke my fall with my arm. When I got to the hospital they said that both bones had been compressed 1/8 inch and there was a large bulge that proved it. I had a cast for 6 months, then had splints for 2 years. It's back to normal now, but it sure hurt like hell and looked funny for a long time. I've also broke all of my fingers, 8 of my toes, my nose twice and cracked a few ribs. I've had many cuts as well including almost severing my big toe and lots of other bloody incidents.
 






lets see..... at 7 shattered left ankle, broke 4 fingers on right hand at age 8, age 9 broke nose, then we had a quiet period except for popping eye out of socket in swimming accident at 10. Then at 15 broke nose again from face mask popping up. broke right lower mandible, age 16 broke 3 ribs and chipped to lower vertebra, at 17 completely shattered right knee tore acl and could look at the bottom of my foot without bending weird (ended football career). then at 19 took a blow from a sledge hammer to the chest and cracked solar plex and 2 ribs (it was an accident). then at 21 broke pelvis and re broke solar plex in atv accident. at 22 jumped off second story balcony and broke right ankle ( college times gotta love them ) at 23 window mounted ac fell and chipped right scapula. also at 23 wrecked my ecplise broke left arm and dilocated shoulder. then the most recent at 25 broke right wrist 2 days before wedding. and never did go have it casted.
 






oh I forgot last year I went up under a ladies tahoe in my camaro and chipped two vertebra in my neck from whiplash. (damn air bag deployed late and my face was resting on the steering wheel when it deployed.)

At 10 broke both ankles and arm playing Evil Kenevil (sp?) attempting a jump over 5 trash cans. At 12 shattered my knee cap catching for the baseball team. At 16 broke collar bone(thought that really sucked during the healing process...see below) I was on the way to my birthday day party on a bike cut through grass, lady had a big@$$ block there for no apparent reason other than to hide in the grass and make me hit it going about 45mph. Had no idea I broke it until I went to pick my bike up and couldn't move my right arm and the bike had a perfect 90 degree angel in the front wheel.(Man I got like 35' of air though :-P).

Then I was 18 and I run myself over with my car. Broke right arm above elbow, left arm below, snapped the ankles again, cracked the brain case pretty good and 8 ribs with the filament from two laying across the main artery going to my heart and the filament from three others laying on the heart. I.C.U. for two weeks until they stopped moving because the docs were afraid they would cut one or the other wide open producing a not so desirable bleeding effect.

Got out of hospital and went to see my car that ran me over. IT went down a hill and through the woods not dent one on that thing. I kicked it with my rt foot in the cast(see good thinking there huh....

Broke three toes and dislocated my right shoulder when I hit the ground. Back to hospital to get new cast.....

Later that night go to a friends house. Friend has a cat. Friend just got a new toy....a laser light....cat chases laser light right into the wall up the wall wherever it goes the cat is right behind. Funniest stuff I have ever seen but with broke ribs talking hurts much less laughing. SO laughing til tears are rolling can't really tell what's causing the tears, the laughing or the pain UNTIL....

right across my chest goes the light remember what comes after the light??

That's right KITTTTTY POOOOWER!!!!!!!

8 stitches later just below my eye I was done.

I stayed locked in my house for a month wasn't sure why but someone/something was out to beat me and damn it they were winning.
