personally thank good I haven't experienced anything myself. However my younger brother was hit by a car @ 40mph and survived! His leg broke in two places, one at the top and the other at the bottom! He is alive and well today and he was only 21!
if you are tough you can get through anything!
My shoulder popped out one time, it went about 10 inches into the front of my chest (about where your heart is). Then one time while I was watching tv in bed I had my arms behind my head, then I sneezed, it popped out 10 inches into my shoulder blade area.

a 6 inch nail through my right foot - painful at the time but recovered quickly.
I sold my heart, but amazingly saw it in a shop window last september, bought it, now I'm as good as new
I broke 11 bones in shoulder arm wrist hand and 1 finger after jumping over a wall 3 feet high and falling 20 feet over the other side .2 ops and 9 months in plaster i was ok,but it still gives me pain in the cold winter months,and that is 17 years ago
I broke both legs and my collarbone in a bike accident but my worst injury was crushing my 5 lower discs in my back playing rugby.10 years on and I am now getting the pain worse than ever and am on morphine salts for it.But hey that's life we do the things we like knowing the risks I'm still smiling and have great memories.
I just had surgery for a bilateral inguinal hernia on the 27th of this month. I must have strained to hard at something but didn't know it when it happened. They installed a bottle of some kind of pain medicine to a little tube that is inserted right into my abdomen. Even with that I still have to take pain pills for the pain. Any exertion on the stomach muscles is painful but as long as I am sitting still it isn't to bad. Sure glad to hear that your back has fully recovered. Doesn't seem like there is anything more debilitating than a back injury. I will say this though, as you get older like in your 50's your back injury will come back to haunt you in the form of arthritis. If you get into a program of working out you can stave it off for a long time
I have sprained my thumb, pulled a muscle in my thigh, got a black eye, burst a blood vessel in my eye, nearly bit of my tongue and needed stiches in it and had stiches near my eye. I did this all at the same time from skiing. I'm fine now though. Just a little scar by my eye.
I assumed this was in reference to motorcycle related injuries.
In the 70's I injured my left knee while racing motocross. Nothing too serious, but it did require having fluid drained off of it twice. Very painfull.
While racing a Hare Scramble a couple of years ago I was pitched over the bars violently and hard. I was thrown up and over an old dead Cedar tree that was arching across the trail. My right arm hung on one of the 'nubbies', a short piece of a broken limb on the tree, and opened the inside of my forearm up. The wound required over 60 stitches to close.
I've had two concussions, one mild, one was a level two. One happened while racing an enduro, the other more serious one while trail riding. The impact that gave me the level two was hard enough that the outer shell on my helmet was compromised. Had I not been wearing it, I'd be dead. Fortunately all that happened was I wandered around in a daze for a few days. For the record that crash was at far more than 15 mph.
Cut my left thumb and index finger off on a table saw - re-attached and working mut no nerves.broke my jaw and lost 2 theeth in a bike accident but they got awesome titanium parts for that so i am as good (perhaps better) as new.
I have been riding for many many years. I have seen so many victims of bike accidents and been riding twice when the couple next to me went down it looks like it happens in slow motion and is very scary a sight that will stay with you forever. The bike and the road are no joke and must be respected, you have to watch others as they are not watching for you. The worst I think I saw was my brother got in a bike accident he flipped the bike landed on his face and the brake handle went in his mouth and broke through the roof of his mouth. He looked like the elephant man or worse. Took a very long time and many surgeries to reconstruct his face, jaw and teeth. He did recover and you can not tell really just a scar on his chin and the beautiful white straight teeth are a little Grey tint and kind of crooked. He still rides!
My worst crash resulted in road-rash on various parts of my body including my scalp. My left shoulder got the most trauma and did not heal properly; I have a non-union two and a half years later. My right ankle was broken in the same crash and most of my leg turned black within hours of the crash.
My orthopedic surgeon said I would not ride again or it would at least be many months; I told him I would be riding again in 5 to 6 weeks. I was riding my other bike six weeks to the day of the accident. My doctor was not happy but I told him I only owned motorcycles and walking was more painful that riding.
My orthopedic doctor and the ER staff were amazed I suffered no fractures to my skull or brain damage despite the fact I wore no helmet. They did charge me $1,400 for an un-needed CT Scan of my head. The scan confirmed my head was fine and the staff were impressed by the strength on my inch thick skull.
The shoulder hurts me to this day but I still love to ride and don't own a cage.
