My husband was playing with my daughter on a pair of power boots "Springy stilts" and after only 3 minutes he fell and broke both his arms and dislocated his wrist.
What avoidable injuries have you suffered. Although i'm the one suffering i can tell you.

My daughter who was 6 at the time fell & hurt her wrist rollerskating. My husband said it wasn't broken & she should be more careful & watch where she was going. About 5 minutes later he came back holding his arm, and said he'd hurt his wrist. I took them to the hospital & they both came out wearing identical casts. Both of them broke the same bone on the same arm

When i was a kid i had 1 foot up on the step
of a bus whilst looking behind to see what number
the next 1 coming was.
the driver closed the door on my foot and drove about 30
yards,overtaking parked cars,while all the women
shouted at him to stop.
i got no injuries except maybe the one in my pants!.
i never told my father of the incident for fear
of getting a clout around the back of the head
for being stupid enough to do that.

I haven't done much lately to award myself that title.
Many moons ago, during winter, I ran across a Wal-Mart parking lot to skateboard on my shoes and ending up sliding underneath the back of a parked truck on my back. I ended up hitting my privates on the rear differential (the part that contains the gears and axles to turn the rear wheels) . Sheesh, everything sure hurts more when it's freezing outside. That was plain stupid and I knew it.
Hahhaa (no disrespect) . Your poor hubby, so much for play time that day, looks like you'll be babysitting double. I really hope he recovers well though!

Had to give you a star for the hearty laugh I got out of this one. I'm sorry your husband is hurt and that you're having to be his hands as I once had a friend who was training for the army paratrouper who fell and broke both arms. When I visited him, I wound up washing his hair for him. I can only imagine the unspeakable things you're having to do.

Well after far too many drinks one night in a club, a v jealous girl (who's boyf eyed me up) pushed me, not realising i was at the top of stairs, so i fell down them arms and legs limbo, handbag opened, spilled everything out, drink spilled all over me and i landed funny on one knee, i v silly decided to move that's when i realised OMG my leg didn't work and was in agony! I had only gone and torn the ligaments in my leg!
They had to call an ambulance and after waiting 6 hours my friends decided to kinda kidnap me to bring me to a different one, so they threw me into a wheelchair, ran out th hospital trying to flag down a taxi, everything wud of been fine if only, my gals had seen the curb!
Oh yes i went flying out on the wheelchair and broke my arm, but i hurt my pride more when i was put back into the same hospital that i just escaped
Moral of the story, never rob a wheelchair

I fall constantly when Im pregnant - I fell at traffic lights in a very busy street and put my hand through the box of cream buns that I had just bought - was gutted - craving them so much, so I think that has been my worst injury lol :)

My old apartment building had a wide gate for the parking area that slid to one side. The space is wide enough for two cars to pass through, unless one of them is a giant SUV. I decided to go for it, despite the oncoming SUV. I tore up the side of my car and tore off the mirror. The driver of the oncoming car had the most shocked look on her face!

Oh I've answered this one before....
Scalded my face chest and hands as a teenager when I fell carrying a kettle and pan upstairs to pour into the bathroom sink and sauna my face. Nasty. And really embarrassing to explain to my parents afterwards. My attempts at a perfect complexion left me with a face full of blisters and fingers like balloons.
