Well to me the worst though I dont knoe if it counts as an injury was seeing Dale Ernhardt die a few years back. I remember sitting there weeping like a baby. Next to that though I remember Lawrence Taylor snapping Joe Theismans leg like a toothpick on monday night football ending the carreer of one the best QBs ever.

A couple of years ago I was at a football game and on a kickoff the player was returning it he lowerd his head ( something you are tuaght never to do) and when the guy hit helmet to helmet the kick returner died instantly they cancelled the rest of the game scariset thing ive ever seen at a game :embarassed:

Schumacher 'colliding' with Battiston, World Cup 1982. :furious3:

Choose 'watch video clips', then select 'Schumacher collides with Battiston'. (http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/p/cg/fra_frg.html#)

Germany keeper Harald Schumacher came charging off his line and made no attempt to play the ball, crashing into Battiston who was carried off and required oxygen in the dressing room before heading to hospital. His jaw was broken and he lost two teeth.I remember that game very well, watched it in a hall full of university students. Tigana/Platini, what a team. Mind you, if you play the video of the entire match, you can hear the German commentator's opening sentence: 'The German team will have to go all out in order to control the technically brilliant French midfield...'

Schumacher certainly went all out... :dizzy2:

I have seen some videos of stupid kids trying tricks with their skateboards. Some of them are really nasty like when a guy snapped his arm bones cleanly in half and then pushed it in.

Theres also one of a wrestler who juumps from the top rope and snaps his ankle.

for me the most painful was when i had my knee bent 45 degrees the wrong way while playing american football, nothing compares to that pain as of yet in my life.

the worst ive ever seen was a mountain climber who fell from 1000 ft, and i was on the recovery team sent in to retrieve him, i swear we could have folded him into a suitcase... on of my worst images ive ever seen.

Man, that kickboxing one was disturbing. It's like he did'nt notice the break until he tried to put his foot back.

My dad has a friend who was playing soccer when a kicked ball hit his shin-causing a compound fracture and bones sticking out.

Todd Bertuzzi attacking the Colorado player from behind.

I myself was playing hockey once, ran into a post at full speed, was completly immobilized on the ince (must have jammed a nerve), hit my head off the post and the ice (lucky for the helmet), AND jammed my thumb against the post. It was completly immoblie for the rest of the night.

Theres also one of a wrestler who juumps from the top rope and snaps his ankle.

A few years ago, a wrestler named Owen Hart fell to his death while pretending to fly. He was hoisted on a cable hanging from the ceiling of the arena. The whole thing caused quite a stir.

most painful, would have to be two broken ribs, breaks placed exactly where if your heart beats it hurts, got it from rugby, other then that (suspected but not proved) a kidney injury that killed 1/3 of my kidney not so comfortable... probably from rugby.

The Owen Hart death was such a tragic lose to the sporting world. He was making an entrance from a cable harnessed when it snapped and he fell some fifty feet with his head smacking aganist one of the ring posts. Horrible and deeply saddening.

The Wrestler who jumped from the top rope and broke his leg was Sid while he was fighting in WCW. He never wrestled after that injury.

The worse injury i have seen in Wrestling was when Chris Benoit broke sabu neck in ECW, that is horrendous with sabu dropping straight onto his head.

At one of my swimming matches during a relay one of my teammates got overenthusiastic and dived too early, landing on me. That hurt.

Dave Busst ankle and leg busted big time. This injury at old trafford put him out of football for good and is truely horrendous

I know someone who was at that game, 5 rows from where it happened. They had to use buckets of water to wash the blood off the pitch. He said Schmeical was leaning on the post trying not to be sick.

The worst one ever has to be Clint Malarchuk, goalie for the Buffalo Sabres, he got hit in the throat by a skate, cut an artery, blood everywhere.

It happened in the 80s, but I saw a video of it last year, oh man it was horrible. The blood is just pumping out of his throat, spurting through the air and you're thinking "good Lord, I'm watching a man die". Unbelievably they kept him alive, and he survived, eventually returning as a pro. But he suffered severe mental problems for years afterwards, only seeking treatment a couple of years ago.

WARNING! DO NOT CLICK IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE SIGHT OF BLOOD!

Perhaps not an injury as such, but watching Ayrton Senna die at Imola in '94 and seeing my father break into tears is one of my most unpleasant childhood memories.

I didn't know Chris Benoit ever wrestled in the ECW, but it doesn't surprise me that Sabu broke his neck. The first time I watched an ECW program, a man had a staplegun taken to his forehead.

Granted, you can't see it (thankfully), but Alex Zanardi losing his legs in an Indy car crash was pretty bad.

no....ECW was pretty extreme...the matches are planned of course...but the guys really got busted open.....and Sabu is just nuts in my opinion....i´ve seen him do things in the ring that are just crazy during barbed wire matches and the such...and the man has the scars to prove it.

yeah...benoit was in ECW(as was eddie guerrero and rey mysterio btw)....i´ve seen that particular match and the angle at which Sabu´s head hits the matt is just sick( btw...it´s kinda wrong to say that Benoit broke his neck..because if you see the video you´ll see that benoit executes the move perfectly...it´s Sabu that screws up the landing)

Owen Hart breaking Stone Cold Steve Austin´s neck is a pretty sick video too....specially because Steve Austin continued the match....even if he could barelly stand ~D

Yeah i suppose it is wrong to blame benoit. I think its a type of suplex that goes slightly wrong, not anyones fault. Sabu is insane, look for his barbed wire match with Terry Funk to see a match which is just horrible. A part of the match see Sabu rip a part of his arm and his scream is just spine chilling. That match is where he got all those scars.

even more freaky is watching sabu get a some some sticky tape, and proceed to wrap it around his arm to close his arm up...AND THEN KEEP GOING IN THE MATCH!!!......*chants go up* HOLY ****! HOLY ****! HOLY ****! ~D

P.S.- see if you can download Sabu vs. The Sandman -"Stairway to Hell"..that one´s got some sick bumps as well.

got a groin bruising during indoor cricket, ball hit me right in the box.... ouch.
mate of mine had his stones basically crushed by a cricket ball, smacked him at about 90 mph on the up, squashed them, not fully, but it hurt like hell from what i heard for the next 20 minutes as we took him to the doctors to get some super painkillers.

A friend was hit in the crotch playing dodgeball at school one day. The shock and force of the ball knocked him down into a sitting position, where he sat on his...genitals. I'd never seen him so angry.

Knee problems and wrist problems.

I fear these very very much, guess why.(friends now why ~D)

I had a great scare when the doctor said if there's a serious problem with my knee(because I had pains), then I won't be able to play basketball again. I nearly cried when I heard that, but it turned that I had nothing.

Nothing quite like waking up on a fine sunny morn, making a lovely hot cup of coffee, kissing the wife and playing with the children, sitting down at the pc, clicking a link and watching a poor b#stard suffer through the most horrendous pain he's ever likely to experience. Argh, thats just wrong.
I'm booked in for my first therapy session this afternoon. :sick:

Off topic but I just could not ignore my dreams mentioned by another dear patron.. I'm sure there is nothing like that..

...

I am a soccer addict (though I hate it calling "soccer", rubbish word). Friends say I have really elastic ankles that are able to do some eye catching tricks ~;p . However, I generally have problems with ligaments on the upper front part of my legs - the left one especially. You hit it hard with some furious effort, and it's not much after you feel something "ripped off" inside. If that is my right leg, then I spend the whole match with soft left-footed passes. This injury takes a whole 2-3 weeks before recovery. Severe ones effect your balance, even while walking, giving serious pain.

And the next runner-up of the most painful injuries IMO is the one that occurs right at the back of your knees. I got that twice, after a suddent movement to stand up from kneeling position. I just threw myself away off that pain out of hell.. My god, that had better not repeat.
