I was jumping a giant dirt pile on my dirtbike. There were some girls watching, so I hit it pretty hard. I was going from a small jump to a higher pile. The high pile was long, like 50 yards. The small pile was about 5' tall, and the tall pile was 15' high. I was jumping about 25 feet, which is not much. When I hit it hard I usually go about 35'. This time I hit it hard. To hard.... I remember flying through the air, and that was it. I woke up about 70 feet away, and I wasn't wearing pants. I drove my bike back to the shop.......and put on a helmet....
Other time, I was doing a wheelie down my street in town. I fell of the back and my bike crashed into my truck, broke a mirror off and shattered my window. I told my insurance it was a hit and run....

Football story...8 man.
I was placed at right guard on the offensive line. We did a play where I pull off the line, run to the left and smash defenders for a ball-runner. At 6'3, 225lbs, I always loved getting away from lineman duty and getting some speed-work in.
I was headed full-steam for one lonesome little guy, probably 140 pounds. He stood motionless and I recall thinking of the great joy I was about to experience from this unfair fight. Just before impact, he chopped. I took a helmet full-force to the knee. It was quite painful. The burn was such I that I was sure stuff was torn inside me. I was spared a few plays, though with a team lacking depth of any sort, I finished the game with a flimsy brace.

i just had another experiance to add to the list yesterday. my girlfriend is on a huge track scholorship. and she does alot of different events..one of them is shot put...for those of you who dont know...its a 16 pound iron ball. and she can heave that thing real far. so i decided that i wanted to try it yesterday because she had to bring one home for whatever reason and bring it back to practice today. so i grabbed it and threw my first throw. not bad like 35 ft. she tought me a few things and i hit 45 ft, and was consistantly throwing 45 ft every time. so i began to get frustrated so on my last throw tried to wind up a bit for a little extra umf. well wind ups with that are really bad i quickly learned as my arm poped out of the socket and fractured my wrist. i dont think my girl friend has quit laughing yet.

yah...no one has ever accused me of being bright. but it just happened kinda naturally cause i always played baseball...and thats just the natural throwing motion.
and Big Z, im far from a beast...its my surgecally repaired arm that was fixed 2 years ago...now i might need another after this dumb thing i have just done.

I can relate to the pain, on a smaller level. Sometimes in FB my arm felt like it went out of its socket and slid back into position. A shoulder brace tensioned my joint enough to reduce the problem while playing. Never did throw a shot baseball-style though, as I knew it would tear me up easily..
