Our house backs up to state land and each morning during hunting season, we can see the hunters going down the fire road. Always concerned about the "hunting accidents" especially during deer season and the high powered rifles they carry.
BTW, congrats on your 3,400th post, I missed it.

I've broke my back L5 & my pelvis at the same time in a motorcycle wreck. I've broken my hand 3 times & my foot twice. The foot hurt much more thanmy hands did. But I'd say passing a kidney stone is the worst so far for me. My back hurts all the time now but I just live with it.

When my uncle was a boy, he fell out of a tree and landed butt-first on a piece of re-bar that had been conveniently pounded into the ground. It ran right up his, uh, his...
Rectum?
Wrecked him! Darn near killed him.

Hey this is a great thread. Some really good ones here (if pain is good). I really liked the big toe nail that came off, yuck!
Being a an active sportsman I have had a few bumps and brusies in my life. Two that stand out.
1. Out riding my horse. I got off and was leading her around a gate. She kept trying to eat and I turned looked at her yanked the reins. She popped her head up and hit me right in the nose with the top of her head. Smashed my nose all over my face. Man that one hurt.
2. 17 years old, and was skiing in Sun Valley Idaho. There was a large hump right by one of the lift towers. Of course us kids would get going about 50 mph and jump the hump. I went extra high on one jump and hit one of the chairs on the lift, you guessed it, with my freaking nose. Smashed it all over my face again. That really hurt also.
I still have a pretty good lump on my nose to this day!

When I got out of the army (long, long time ago) a friend of mine had a gas station, and let me use his tire tools to mount and change my tires. I was down there one day, with the back end of my 58 F100 up in the air on his old farm jack. (They're call hi-lifts today.) It had a hickory handle instead of today's nice, steel pipes. As I was lowering the truck, I noticed that the handle came up really easy after each click, and wondered if it would jack itself down. Being the scientific type, I conducted an experiment and let go of the handle. Yep, it worked real good. So good, in fact, that the handle was moving like a blurr. I was afraid it would snap off, and I would owe my friend a new jack, so I reached out to grab the handle.
It was like batting fungoes with tomatoes. The palm of my hand exploded and painted the front of my shirt and the side of his garage with a ring of blood - kinda like that chainsaw movie. The jack didn't break, though, and my question was answered.

Is it bad that I find some of the reasoning behind these injuries funny?
Now on to my list, worst pain has to be dropping a 30 pound bar on my finger also at a canadian tire from about 5 feet up, crushing the bone in my finger and hitting the nerve at the same time, next on the list has to be tearing a rotator cuff from taking down a shelving unit (also at canadian tire) on my forearm, with the force pulling my arm down and tearing the rotator cuff and popping the shoulder out at the same time, then reseting the shoulder without a doctor. That was a bad idea. Other than that just broken toes and an arm. Sorry Im not as good at hurting myself than you guys

.I'm thinking maybe some of you guys should stay out of Canadian tire. Seems to be getting to be quite the common theme here!
