Well I'm just clumsy and fell backwards! It was the day a new Plies Cd was coming out and early morning & my friend wanted me to go with her. We are walking to her car and I fell. I remember just laying on the ground thinking omg I have never hurt my head so bad in my life. When I went to get up my friend started screaming saying there is blood. I put my hand back and sure enough all I had was blood!
So I busted my head.. It was gushing blood but I didn't want to go to the doctor. I told my friend i didnt want to go to best buy anymore for the CD i was just going to go home. So i did and i slept for like 5 hours (i had no idea you are not suppose to go right to sleep after a head injury). I was also suppose to get my hair done that day so I called the girl and explained. She said don't worry and she could do it.. She had no ideal how bad it was. I got to the place and she advised me it was to bad to get it done. I still didn't want to go to the doctor I thought it would heal just like when you fall down and bust your knee. Well anyways I was off work for 2 days but the day i went into work a manager saw me. She advised me I must leave work my head was to bad to stay and I should go to the doctor because I can't come back until I do so.

So I went to the emergency room several days later and they said I really needed stitches but I run the risk of it being infected since I waited so they long. So they just stapled it closed instead. I'd say I was a trooper! hope the pics don't gross you out they were taken after I woke up that day!

we had a girl who was on my old gyms junior and senior 2 sprain her ankle the last practice (with an hour left) walking to go get a drink of water.. AND this was before our very last competition.

Bahaha i was swinging on the swings and my sister hit me in the mouth with a log. I busted my lip open and broke 2 teeth. Lol

And i have a weird story.

So my very first gym didnt have a spring floor, they had a mat on top of concrete (bad idea) so anyways the constant impact on my leg hurt me so bad that i switched gyms. It was me and my friend who switched gyms. The day of tryouts i broke my leg by landing in a crack....2 days later my friend who was at the old gym with me tore a ligament my getting out of bed. Needless to say we thought we were cursed for leaving our old gym haha.

I broke my ankle literally just walking across the gym to stretch. Irony?

 

[FamousxMindset]

One morning while putting on my shoes i stepped on s toothpick ( from a project i did the night before) a month later i had some nasty green infection that was needed surgery out of cheer for like two weeks -__________-

I fell out of a thigh stand (!) because my base slipped on sandy ground and broke a bone in my foot, tore 3 ligaments and hurt the capsule thing (or however you might call it ^^)... -.-

 

[xxcheer77xx]

I fractured my L4 vertebre just from excessive tumbling once?

But my friend's story is a little more embarassing, she was doing hurdles at track practice and fractured her elbow because she fell right onto it.

 

[yojaehs]

Tore hip flexor running across the floor and doing a Kartwheel at a friend to scare her, it was hands down more painful and longer recovery than any of the ankle/wrist breaks that I ever had.

When I was still taking gymnastics I was walking into the gym, tripped while walking onto the spring floor, tried to catch myself, and broke my wrist.
Another time I was at a meet. I was on my second run for vault and my mom yelled something, I got distracted, and I ran right into the front of the vault. This was back in the day when we still used the rectangular leather ones. I broke my nose. Needless to say, I did not finish out the meet.

My daughter was carrying a girl off the mat because the girl was having an asthma attack and missed a step then hit her foot on another and sprained her foot. She didnt drop the other girl though!
