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)
