In another forum I frequent, they started a thread on how many times and what bones you've broken in your body so I said "What the heck? I don't start too many threads here so let's go for it."

With that said, I've broken my leg when I was 5...my brother pushed me off the roof onto the sidewalk below. Since then, I've broken a few toes but nothing major for over 30 years

I haven't broken a bone before in my life yet, but I have gotten quite a few sprains. My closest call of getting a broken bone was when I was 7 I think...when I slipped on a water drain in San Francisco.

Never broken a bone in my life.
Sprains, Hyper-extensions, burns, and deep deep cuts are something I get all the time, though!

when i was 8 I fell off my stairs and landed on the palm of my hand backwards so i snapped both bones in that wrist and then a year later i was swinging on my clothesline pole and fell off of that and broke my other wrist. lol. at the time it hurt really bad and i was screaming for my mom but my sister (Dark_Card) and my brother were laughing there heads off so neither of them went and got my mom so i had to get up and go find my mom inside the house. lol now it is funny but when it happened i was so mad at them. lol

Hmm.. never broken a bone before. I just had a lecture on it so let me crap a little

Bone basically make up of 2 different bon tissue called: compact (dense ) bone and cancellous (spongy) bone.
Compact bone if found on the outer layer of the bone and along the shaft. Spongy bone found in its interior that is where u can find your red bone marrow.

Compact bone is made up of the building unit called osteon which is tapered, cylinderical. It is arranged in parallel to the axis. Hence it can only withstand strength along the axis. so force applied to the side will break the bone. like how takewondo ppl break things.

Whereas spongy bone is found in the epihysis where it experience less stress and are able to withstand force from all magnitude cos it is made up of hard bond matrix called trabeculae which form an interwoven net work. Imagine like sponge and in the spaces are where your red bone marrow are found. It make your bone less heavy.

ok enough of crapping.. Make u more confused?

yeah, it was kinda confusing..but after being dragged to a science center in Cleveland to see an exibit on preserved actual human skeletons ,muscle and brains, it kinda makes sense now..but seeing the disorted spinal column was creepy..

Surprisingly I haven't broken a bone yet >.>; And I'm usually a klutz wherever I go...

KuroPuppy · « **Reply #12 on:** September 07 2005, 05:52 am »

Aww man, I gotta start counting 2 fingers on my left hand and 1 on my right both of my wrists and collarbones, my left forearm, left foot, and ankle and 4 ribs. *tallies the count* that makes 14 broken bones I've had.

I never broke any of my bones but I came close to breaking my bones twice; when I was 10 years old, I was climbing a tree and a stick went through my leg. It nicked my bone, but I didn't break it. I had to wear a walking cast for 2 weeks, and I wasn't allowed to play during recess or gym! Of course, everybody was nice to me after it happened, but I wished I could have played instead.

Also, when I was 15, I was helping my neighbors catch their dog, and I was able to catch him, but he bit my left wrist; it didn't break, but ever since that happened, my wrist lost bone density, and I can use it, but not as much as before. It hurts if I lift anything with it.

Haven't broken any bones yet. I just have knees and elbows full of scars and scrapes, which is what happens when you put a tomboy on a gravel road and give her a bicycle and a forest full of trees to climb. @_@ Ha... though its been a while since I climbed a tree.....

I never broken any bones before, but I do remember coming extremely close.

I was jumping on my friends trampoline and tried to do a flip and ended up with my ankle inbetween the springs. >_<
Hurt...so....bad...!

That's how my brother, Andrew, broke his leg when he was about 5 or 6. He gets injured all the time, we laugh at it now (as cruel as it sounds, we do).

Never Broken anything but I did pull a muscle when I was at an Informal dance thing (they didn't make us streach and we were allowed to wear jeans and that can get messy I prefer fomal dance studios) Oh And I Fractured my nose when the neighbor kid pushed me in the ice rink blood all over the ice (it hurt like HECK!!)
