Embarrassing InjuriesSometimes your mind isn't quite on the job in hand, the throes of passion get, well, passionate and something goes painfully wrong. Ok, so you wouldn't tell your mates how you got injured, but you can tell us... we won't laugh. Much.

may as well post my painAround the ripe old age of 12, during one of those long summers, me and a couple of friends decided to grab everything we could find with wheels, take them to the top of the hill we lived on, and then ride them down.
This plan of course was foolproof, and a good few skateboard / shopping trolley / tricycle races ensued. we soon got bored of this however, and i took it upon myself to ride the skateboard ALL the way down this hill (about 100M) standing. Thing is i couldnt, and still cant skate. The other thing was the, up to this point, un-noticed speedbumb about 80M down said hill.
Basically, i hit this speedbump with quite some speed, proceeded to fly through the air for about four meters, and hit the ground ankle first (no, i dont know how.) the result was the outside of my right foot pressed up against my chest (try it, tis unpleasent,) me on the ground lying on this leg, and numb with pain. My friends found it hilarious of course and took a couple of photos before leaving me in the road to go tell my parents. Turns out i broke my growth plate into five little bits, and had to have a couple of metal rods jammed into my leg.
That was a bad day for me...
