Answer 7

i did something similar in a game for my high school 1st XV. I'm not sure what the proper name was (anterior ligament and whatever) but this guy went in for a tackle on one of my players just out from the ruck, he hung on with his hands and his entire body swung round into my planted leg.

After that i spent my entire 1st XV season (in which i am proud to say i still started every game) in physiotherapy with a leg that moved about as far to the side as it did back and forwards

Answer 8

It's not mine, but my good friend snapped her tibia and fibula in half....i was right by her during the tackle and you could hear the snap and then all you saw was her lower leg essentially dangling at a weird angle from her upper shin....that wasn't the worst part....the worst part was her screaming....everything is ok, and she's doing fine but...that was wicked business and every time i think of it, i cringe.

Answer 9

I got a really bad concussion one time...I think theres about an hour that I still don't remember at all.

I also cut open my eyebrow one time and have broken my finger.

The one I find the weirdest though is one time I got headbutted in the mouth and it moved my teeth, they're not nearly as straight as they used to be.

Answer 10

I've been pretty lucky. Most serious injury was probabaly a week ago. It wasn't even that serious. I cut the thing that connects your upper gum to your upper lip. Small injury but it was beeding like crazy and hurts too!
