Snapped left radius, resulting in three months of no riding, a $2200 bill (after insurance), and a stainless steel plate with six screws.

Yea, there are allready a few threads on this topic. But for the sake of wasting time before class, I broke 2 ribs when I screwed up at the top of a 12 foot cement tranny.

JMC cracked his head open when his broken frame finally failed completely.
Oh wait, that hasn't happened yet.

From riding BMX I Have gotten: A total of 17 stitches, 2 broken ribs, broken teeth and a concussion or two.
From Mountian biking I have gotten: A total of 36 stitches, broken collarbone, broken teeth, 4 broken ribs and 2 fractures, broken wrist, badly bruised kidney, couple concussions, broken tailbone and a fractured hip
Hell, this summer at the ski hill I broke the bottom rib on my right side, had it hit my kidney and bruise it very badly. From that same fall I also fractured my hip and ended up with a minor concussion. I rode for the rest of the day only to get home in great pain. I went to the hospital later when I pissed blood, and didnt think it was cause of my kidney.

Luckily, in 2 years of riding my worst injury so far has just been a few scars from doing bunnhop crackflips and missing the pedels when i land. Nothing that bad.

I laughed.
My brother snapped his collarbone and his thumb. The dumbass decided to attempt his first jump during one of his races and not during pratice. We all had a good laugh at him, He thought it was pretty funny also. I had to throw in that last part so I don't catch any crap for laughing at someone's who is hurt.
Yeah, it's always fun to laugh at things like that. After all, he was racing, you were probably sitting on your butt watching.

He wasn't sitting on his butt watching, he was busy bumping month-old threads.
