Came off on my main hill hitting about 70-80km (hit a pretty big stick about 5cm thick) flew about 8m and my mate who was right gehind me said i looked just like someone out of the matrix. i ended up landing on my back and scraping away my shirt and most of the skin on my back.

(i was wearin gloves, pads and a helmet)     

I was once just practicing colemans, I was concentrating on sliding and didn't see the stick on the road, got thrown off and have a road rash scar the size of an ipad, went to doctor, didn't turn into a scab for 3 weeks.

Toeside speedcheck/shutdown at only ~30 went wrong due to icy wheels, tried to turn around as I came off and twisted my foot 180degrees snapping both shin bones like twigs. Surgery for titanium rod and screws in Tibia. Was wearing fullface and gloves but no kneepads otherwise I could have slid it out backwards. That was 4 months ago. Still another 4-6 months to go before I can skate (if all goes well).

Skating a hill about 2 years ago, only about 60-65ish, went to grip a corner, didnt realise how much loose gravel there was, ended up sliding face first into a gutter about 5m away, cracking my full face, breaking 3 fingers, a total of 32 stitches on elbows and shins, 2 cracked ribs and knocked out for around 2minutes (or so im told) ended up spending 3 days in hospital.

Mines probs not as good but the other day i was riding slow along the path with my freind who was walking. I had a helmet but no gloves. Well my wheels hit a crack between concrete and fell face first taking alot of skin off my hands and bruising them. Really annoying because i ahd to play footy 2 hours later and hurt like a bitch every time i caught the ball.

Man up.

  Im sure bruising your hand fulfils what Reg was looking for. Bruised hands is defiantly a hospital trip

been sustained a while i still got little but to heal and its been two weeks haha
Broken Sternum, broken rib, hole in lung (causing pneumothorax's), concussed, broken collar bone, dislocated shoulder. I was always wearing full safety gear. 16-17 years old
Does street skating count?

If so, know a guy who was impaled on a peice of steel re-enforcing (his calf) could probably get you some pics and scans if you need em.

On a side note - its funny how you realise how buggered up you get in the winter, when scars turn purple in the cold
awww fuck!! post some pictures of that!!!! ^^^
Comming round a left hand corner my wheels gave way and I slid into the oncomming lane hitting a Harley which landed me a helicopter trip to Liverpool hospital, broke 7 bones including a shattered pelvis and partially tore my PCL as well... The Harley landing on me also left a burn on my foot as both my shoes flung off on impact, my board snaped in half, wheels torn clean off the bearings, and leathers had to be cut off me...
