I'm never going to live this down but, what the heck.

So I'm a diver. Well, once, (I'm assuming it was at dive or in my own pool at home) i went in wrong, or hit something, or twisted weird, but i ended up messing up my coccyx. Basically, my tailbone. More basically, my butt.
I literally broke (we think i broke it, but it was probaby just fractured or bent) my butt.
SO embarrassing, but so ridiculous.
i had to sit on a donut for like, two weeks (which actually didn't work, because to this day, It still hurts if i sit weird, and this injury was two years ago).

But yeah. My best guess is that I ended up either falling or being pushed onto the edge of a stair in my pool and hit my butt funny.

XD

I once had to hurry to get the phone, and i JUMPED (idiot) off the bed to leave the room. HOWEVER! I had forgotten to calculate the rug into my little 'stunt' and as the rug slipped on the floorboards of my room, I fell straight down with a heavy 'thud'.
I was in a great deal of pain thereafter. Not only did I bruise my butt. I twisted my right ankle and left wrist too!

Even worse, the phone I hurried to retrieve... rung out!

and in doing so, i decided to use my slide as a runway.
so, i ran down said slide, got half-way down and then my foot slipped.
i did three summer-salts, before putting my left arm out to stop me.
when i came down i dislocated my elbow, the wrong way.
my mother was gardening at the bottom of said slide.
and as i opened my mouth to scream, she threw dirt & weeds in my mouth.
fail.

then i went to the hospital, and they dosed me up on five shots of morphine.
FIVE. they though they were going to have to take me into surgery.
but thankfully they didn't.

needless to say.
if you want to fly.
use an airplane.

It had this ride where you sat on a big blow-up raft, went through a short tunnel and came out onto a toilet bowl-shaped thing which you proceeded to spiral down into. Between the short tunnel and the bowl is a gap. Air. Nothing, I don't know who designed this or why they thought it was a good idea, but as I landed I dislocated my tailbone and bent it inwards. I went to the doctor who said that it was fine and would just heal in about 6 weeks. She didn't suggest that I get it repositioned or that I sit on one of those donuts. To this day it hurts if I sit the wrong way, and it's been about 4 years.

The other one was when I was opening my mailbox, which gets stuck a lot, and my foot slid off the curb and twisted under itself. I pulled two ligaments,scraped up the whole side of my foot (I was wearing flip-flops), and had bruising all over it for weeks. I had to be on crutches for about a week and a half. Not a good injury for a dancer to have and not an impressive story to tell your friends. "How did you do that to your foot?" "I slipped while opening my mailbox." "...wtf?"

Of course, my injury occured when I was playing against my football playing cousin who has nice, firm muscles. We both run towards the ball and I realize he's just a tad bit closer than I so I reach forward. I then crush my pinky into his bicep. I proceed to say OW but continue to play. A couple hours later I look down and see that my pinky is HUGE and blue. I did nothing about it but hold a soda to it. I didn't go to the doctor's until 5 days later.
Turns out, I fractured it on the growth plate. It didn't heal right because it still hurts a bit every once and a while and I have a slightly weakened control over my pinky. You can hear it click.

Another one was I when I watching tv with my friends. I was enjoying it but I looked up and noticed a fly overhead. As soon as I looked up, their dog LUNGED at me. Ripped open part of my upper lift in the shape of a triangle. To this day I don't know if it was because he bit me or if he scratched me.
