I'm 43 and haven't broken a bone in my life. I feel like this is unusual. Go!
I certailnly counted fingers & ribsNot all bone breaks are the same. If counting everything (specifically fingers and ribs), I'm likely over 10 - rugby is a hell of a game. If not, 2 - both wrists in separate incidents.
Well, is a simple dislocation a "broken bone incident"? All my ribs needed were to be wrapped up for a few weeks. Wrists were much, much different - with multiple surgeries needed for one.I certailnly counted fingers & ribs

Snapped my ankle Mosies Alou style falling off a tire swing summer before freshman year in HS. Told everybody I broke it playing football. Then as soon as that healed broke my pinky actually playing football.
I didn't count nose but I did count toes.Are we counting minor things like fingers, toes, and noses? Noses are really just cartilage.
I counted noses and toes. When the doc says it's a broken nose, it counts.Are we counting minor things like fingers, toes, and noses? Noses are really just cartilage.
It was the other driver's fault and he happened to be a billionaire?Once. 100 MPH head on collision (we were both doing 50), pre air bag. Broke both my legs and my right arm. And honestly, it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Ha. That's what I was thinking as I created this thread. "Whoops, jinxed myself. Car crash, here I come."I haven't had a broken bone or scar in my life.
Fully expecting to roll down a mountain and be paralyzed any day now.
Ya, what's the story here @TheFanatic?It was the other driver's fault and he happened to be a billionaire?
One broken pinky toe and two broken fingers and I agree with @MAC_32 1000%The pinky toe is more useful than one who has not broken it would believe. That face plant into the hard wood when attempting to plant at practice right after it happening was out of a blooper reel.
It's my only one though.
Something about a broken collarbone makes me want to throw up. Don't know why, but that gives me the heeby jeebies. I don't like anyone touching my collarbone. I remember as kids, people would go around and try to grab under your collarbone. Just typing that made me want to throw up. I told people if they touched my collarbone, I'd throw haymakers at them, whether they were an enemy or my best friend. A good friend tested my theory and I threw two punches: one missed and one was a glancing blow to the side of his head.Femur (shattered), collarbone, left hand. All separate incidents.
You got lucky with your ankle. Almost everyone I know who has broken their ankle needed surgery. When I broke mine, the doctor was like, "You'll most likely need surgery." Then after the X-ray he said I was lucky that I didn't.I fractured an ankle once, but it felt just like a sprained ankle. Didn't know until they did an x-ray and honestly they treated it the same way as a sprained ankle, so I can't count that... Won't count broken pinky toes since everyone has done that a number of times in their lives...
The only actual broken bone incident I can really claim happened a few years ago. I had to move some stuff around in our crawl space. We had a cat at the time that figured out how to get in there and pissed in the middle of the plastic vapor barrier over the floor. I mopped it up and then went into the crawl space. This crawl space is high enough that you can move around in there without "crawling", just have to either be on you knees or squatted down. There is a big I-Beam in the middle of the floor above the crawl space for support that you have to stoop down even more to get under. I was going under this I beam when my right foot hit the freshly wet plastic. I did a complete splits. I swear things bounced off the ground that I couldn't believe. I fell backwards to try and prevent tearing groin muscles, etc. I reached back with my right hand and managed to snap my thumb in the fall.
So I guess, 1. While falling on mopped up cat pee in a crawl space while doing complete splits.
I'm 55 and haven't broken anything either.I'm 43 and haven't broken a bone in my life. I feel like this is unusual. Go!
Oh, God, ribs. Totally forgot. Cracked ribs at least twice, not including cartilage incidents.3 times broke arm. Didn't count 3 broken ribs & an assortment of broken toes.
I do not land well.
