this past week.. i hit a 4 foot round cotton wood doing about 30mph broke 7 ribs and collapsed my left lung.. possibly fractured my hip/pelvis.. doctors said the amount of force it took to break 7 ribs if it was another 4 inches to my spine i wouldnt be walking.. anyways i had a 9" tube in my lung draining the blood for about 4 days
OMFG! That's deffantly one of the most serious on here! Hope you get well soon!

My injury has got nothing on some of you guys... I don't know if I could deal with some of the things in here as well as you people have. Wrists should NOT bend like this though... =/
1 metal plate, 7 screws, 15 stitches.
My sister had something like that happen, except her bone was poking through the skin!
I actually broke my elbow, needed surgery. 2 metal plates, 13 screws, 27 stitches and it took all summer to heal. was not fun
The worst I've gotten is a broken arm. I've wiped pretty bad on big drops and jumps but never in a bad way that ive seriously hurt myself. I hit my head alot, but i always wear a helmet and its saved me a few large cuts or getting knocked out alot.
Worst I've broken in a single crash was my nose,and my back in 4 places. My most recent crash of the local 35ft gap I fractured my pelvis/collar bone/concussion/both knees got destroyed this season I also broke my wrist.This season has been hell to my body!
did a 180 disaster on my bmx, tyre slipped, I fell onto handlebar, hadlebar went through my groin (6cm deep) and as I slid down ramp, tore 4-5cm in length, how it happened: didn't know my barends had gone into my bars, was in hospital Saturday 18 September 2010, got out Monday 20 September 2010.
