I havn't, but I was wondering how many on here have.
I know there are so many that are lucky. If you did how did it happen?

No, and I don't plan on it.
My friend broke one because of her dog. :rolleyes: Blame the dog !

I broke my pinkie toe on my left foot about 6 years ago, kicking the corner of a wall :rolleyes: I was angry at my then boyfriend and for some reason kicked the wall, then went & got in the shower. Half way through the shower my foot was throbbing, got out, my toe was swelled up twice it's size :eek: Went in to the dr's and needless to say there's nothing they can do about a broken toe... Boy did it hurt for awhile though.
No more broken bones for me *Knocks on wood*

I broke my wrist when I was 11. I was at a former friend's house and we were in her pool, I'm not sure what we were doing but I fell out over the edge somehow onto a bunch of rocks and pavement and ended up breaking my wrist.

Yes, three broken bones for me. I broke my leg when I was about three years old, fell off a bookcase I was climbing to look out the window. When I was seven I broke my arm sliding around on the patio on the ice and fell. When I was 16 I broke my collarbone rolling down a hill curled up in an truck intertube. :rolleyes: I hope not to break anymore. ;)

Both legs (twice) 8 ribs (6 at once 2 in a seperate incident) 3 vertabra which are fused now both arms 1 wrist both feet (at different times) all my toes at one time or another and 1 finger.
Cause? most were from a Horse accident that left me in a coma for 6 weeks in 1998. Came home in a wheelchair and a halo. the rest were from horses stepping back onto my feet and 1 car accident that my car didn't win lol.

I sprained my wrist near a break once from jumping off a swing, and I jammed fingers lots and maybe a toe, not sure if it was broken or not.

Just one. I broke my nose when I was in 7th grade. I was pitching a softball game, and took one off the bat, into my face. Other then that I've had jammed fingers, sprained ankles, strained muscles, etc. Not too bad for 20 some years of softball, soccer, volleyball....knock on wood my good luck continues!!
nope that goodness lol the worst I have done is partially torn a ligiment. my mom is the only one in my house who has broken a bone, she fell while skating and just stayed home for 3 days refusing to see a docter, till my dad finally managed to drag her to the hospital and found she had broken her wrist, that docters were MAD lol my dad fractored his wrist once, and my brother has only sprained his thumb. over all I, like my dad am very accident prone, but I have never injured myself too seriously mostly I just wind up with giant bruises, though I was told I was really lucky once when I steped backwards into a rotten board and fell through once and came out with only a bruised leg.

Some I knew about, one I didn't.
I cracked ribs in an accident, which introduced me to a new definition of PAIN. (There's NOTHING you can do for them)
The one I didn't know about until some time later was my shin. I hit it REALLY hard on a piece of machinery at work, it was black and blue (Okay, normally you don't get a 6 inch long bruise from hitting your shin), sore for a long time, but thought it was nothing. A few years later, I was being seen by a doc in the Army for something completely different, and she asked my how I broke my leg. Huh, whadaya talking about, doc? She showed me on my shin and then Xrayed it, and sure enough, I had broken it and not even realized it. (High tolerance for pain CAN be a bad thing)

Thankfully I have never broken a bone. Nor have I sprained one.

I have never broken a bone. I have had a hole cut in a bone (my skull) for surgery, but that was intentional, controlled, and done by professionals!

The only time I've broken a bone was my collar bone when I was at recess in second grade. I was learning how to hang from my knees from a bar and fell. =S

Oh, so many! I broke my leg when I was five. My big brother and I had been flying a kite on the garage roof, something we did all the time. It was early spring and all winter we had jumped down and landed in a snow pile. Lance, who is 10 years older, made the jump. I missed what was left of the snow pile and hit my swingset instead.
When I was 8, I shattered my right arm. It's still crooked. I broke my forearm, my upper arm and the elbow joint. The only way the docs could give me any motion in the elbow was to set it at an angle. It's only noticeable when I hold my arm out straight. I do have a full range of motion which is much more important than the little angle!
I've broken all my fingers at least once. Some of them repeatedly. Playing baseball, football, skiing, and once while trying to slam my sister's head in a car door(didn't get much sympathy from Mom for that one!)
Last broken bone was my toes on my left foot about 8 years ago. I got up in the middle of the night and on my way back to bed I kicked the bed post. When I turned on the light, screaming, I could see the bottoms of all my small toes on that foot! It was disgusting and required an immediate trip to the ER!
I did sprain my wrist badly over 2 years ago(Dragging behind the dog team). My doc says I would have been better off if I had broken it. A break would have healed a long time ago, the severity of the sprain has left me with wrist pain that is likely permanent.
