I am so accident prone. In the last twelve months alone I have:
'broke' my right foot - tore some ligaments and fractured metatarsals
Grade 2 torn calf muscle in my right leg
fractured my left wrist
sprained my left ankle twice
Along with all of the usual bumps, falls and burns.
... and today to top it all off I have dislocated my little finger. It looks weird and bent upwards!! Ouch, so much pain!!!
How accident prone are you?

In the space of 20 minutes yesterday, I managed to
- bang my head getting out of my mates car
- burn myself making a cup of tea for us
- trip over the dog and grazed my arm on the door in the process
- fall down my garden step and bruise/scrape all the side of my foot. It looks horrendous.
I am very clumsy
Seriously though, I come home with bruises at least once a week. I also manage to cut myself whenever I shave.
Not really done anything like you have in the last 12 months though.
I officially am never going in my garden again.
I'm just as bad though - whenever I go out (nearly always to the doctors!) I manage to trip over the pavement at least once.
Don't be!
Very rarely have to go A&E though, so Button wins!
They seem to be danger zones for me as well. I think twice in about half an hour, I managed to walk into the (same) dorr frame:o
The worst time was when I broke my arm, broke it again the very day I got the cast off and the very day after I got that cast off I twisted my ankle and needed cruthces lol!
Haven't broke anything in years though now.
A few years back I had so many accidents in a short space of time they thought that there was something seriously wrong with something and sent me to a neurologist
I was fine - they told me I am overly clumsy and needed to take more care :yeees:
Actually, I think in my case it's not the frequency with which I hurt myself that causes concern (and/or humour for others
Those door thingies are a right bugger, i managed to basically slice my side open twice in ten minutes in one. They're so sharp its unbelievable.
Then when trying to exit my sister room i kick the door with my foor sending the door infront of my face so i headbut that, life my leg up because ive stubbed my toe, fall onto the bed then crack my head on the wall. I think i layed on the bed for something like 15 minutes laughing and crying at the same time.
Oh and in '03 i jumped accross the top of our landing like i always do but slipped when i reached the other side, fell into a CD cabinate with sharp edges and riped my face open (basically made my mouth wider where it was ripped. Fine now though, healed well.
Today i tripped over three times on the way down the street.
Im pretty clumsy
I've broken 3 fingers, my wrist and a few toes, torn ligaments in my knee and sprained my ankle rather badly, but i don't think of myself as accident prone cos they were all quite far apart. I broke one finger playing snap, two playing badminton, broke my wrist falling off a kitchen surface, broke my toes running into a cd player while i was running to get my mobile as it was ringing, tore ligaments in my knee skiing and sprained my ankle falling off a podium i was dancing on when i was drunk.
Nothing too recently though *touches wood*
I've somehow never done either of those things.
I've never broke a bone. A few months ago though I fainted in the street, and hit my head on a street sign. I had to go A&E for that... heehee. Nice little cut on my head but not actually cracked open or anything.
Also had my nose broken. The punch was meant for someone else but they moved!
And, in a tired state, and an oversized dressing gown, i cracked my head open on a door frame.
I also sprained my ankle abroad running to answer the dorr and truipping on the side of the bed.
Hopefully, i wont to any more damage!!!
