Too bad; it was a really nice car!

We were pretty much uninjured except for back problems that continue to today but what really pissed us off was that we broke the damned plane!

It seems someone has their priorities mixed up.

The car and airplane are just objects.

You are fortunate to even be alive.

Did you learn anything at all from your experiences?

Peoples lives are more important than those objects.

Yes I learned the following things:

(1) Do not fall asleep while driving. Falling asleep at the wheel can cause things to happen which hurt.

(2) I learned the truth behind the First Law of The Air:

"Maintain Thy airspeed lest the ground reach up and smite Thee in the ass!"

Not picking on you but from the tenor of your post I would assume that:

(1) You have never flown on anything but a commerical airliner, much less been at the stick.

(2) You have no empathy or understanding of automobiles. Not that it really has anything to do with anything but my personal highest provable recorded speed is 196.5 MPH (316.23 Km/Hr) in a Plymouth Superbird and I have never felt so fucking ALIVE as I did as I watched the broken white stripes turn into a single white line as I did on that day. You know, I think there was another 20-30 MPH in the car but I ran out of room.

A buddy has a 'bird and one day we might just find out.................................

The 'bird is the Ultimate Word:

Fell from a big ass tree @ age 12 = Broken Knee + Dislocated Shoulder + broken wrist + bruises everywhere

Worst Christmas ever!!!

Sounds like it Tongue

. How is your knee now? A broken knee sounds like a lot of recovery.

A broken knee is a pain in the ass. I spent nearly 2 month in rehab therapy , pain full as hell. But I didn't get to be 100% fine again. If the weather is too cold or humid, it starts to hurt, and mobility-wise I can't react as fast as I could.

Actually, I've broken a few bones but now I come to think of it. My shoulder really did hurt when I broke it.

Busted knee from accidentally driving a 68-ton EMD locomotive in to the back of a parked line of flatbed wagons. Disused line + weeds = no grip. Embarrassed

A year later (just before the surgery for the knee) missed the last step on the stairs and sprained my ankle. Sprained ankle on one leg, knee surgery on the other. Roll Eyes

Oddly, the knee was better long before the ankle.

That's got to hurt, daamn.

My worst injury is probably breaking my leg in several places. Was involved in a scooter accident, got hit by a minivan.

Better safe than sorry.
Well you were sorry then. Tongue

Haha, I was wearing a helmet so I could've been a lot more sorry Tongue

. The accident was the minivan's fault, so I ended up getting a nice amount of insurance money :p

How long did it take you to recover? Are you still riding? That would shake me up a little.

It took me about 4 months before I could walk again, and 6 to 7 months until I could run properly. I don't ride anymore, not because I'm scared or anything, just because I prefer a car now Tongue

.

I can see the logic in that! Haha.

I wonder how nobody noticed that the title is wrong.
Your worst injury?
Not you're.

English is my 3rd language and I'm still trying to improve it and have have difficulty remembering some parts of the language. I have corrected the title, thanks for pointing it out. Although this was done a few months ago. I have now improved slightly (I hope).

Breaking my leg several places at once takes the biscuit.

I try my damdest to forget about injuries I've gotten while riding. I like to think instead of all the good times.

I noticed immediately, thank you.
These days highlighting bad grammar and spelling appears to be a condemnable offence in itself; however, the fact the OP repeats the mistake in the title and the post suggests this wasn't a simple slip. It's a shame our beautiful language is so abused but symptomatic of so much...

And in '77 there was the somewhat hard landing of a '64 Maule survey plane in which I was a passenger but actually at the controls....................................................

We were pretty much uninjured except for back problems that continue to today but what really pissed us off was that we broke the damned plane!

One of these:

Damned thing had a stall speed of only 28 MPH and I managed to stall it out about 50 ft above the ground.

he who has the gold makes the rules

flipped over on a mountain bike going down a hill in SF (giant crack in the street, i was looking at the lights), went flying about 5 or so meters.

tore some tendon in my left shoulder, but i had to sacrifice the shoulder or else I would have no face right now. just makes a weird click sound once in a while but after 1 year i was able to start doing push ups again.

luckily i did not crack my skull as i landed my head right on my left temple. my vision in my left vision eye is a little blurry compared to that of the right.

So what is you're worst injury? I myself havn't had many injuries, except:

Cracking my skull on a radiator, twice.
Breaking little finger.
Tearing ligaments in foot.

If you can give us some detail how you did it, that would be great Wink

In 1972 I turned a 1968 Pontiac Bonneville four-door sedan into a 1968 Pontiac Bonneville two-door convertible tricycle.

This feat of legerdemain was accomplished as the result of falling asleep on the highway and running underneath an old Ford two-and-a-half ton hay truck.

Shattered my nose, broke the cheekbone (Zygomatic arch), blinded in one eye from shards of my sunglasses, had over two hundred small stiches to sew my forehad skin back on, had about another 150 to seal up a laceration which ran from the front of the left side of my skull clear across the top and down to the base of my neck.

Not to mention the other minor facial cuts, bruises, aches and pains which resulted.

My face is slightly off kilter from the bone breakage and the insertion of various bits of plastic to replace powdered bones.

Too bad; it was a really nice car!

Cliff Notes - Football Injury - Tore groin muscle completely off the bone, thought it healed, played football again, tore it off the bone again. Fast forward - bone grew out to meet the muscle instead of the muscle going back into place. I sprouted an extra bone about the size of a grape on my pelvis any running, cutting, jumping caused said bone to dig into the muscle. Fast forward - Surgery - Cut open, extra bone chiseled and vacuumed out muscle reattached. Years later fine, but the orthopedic oncologist said it's the absolute closest a male will ever see to a C-Section.
