while skating at a fairly high speed, i 1080'd into a concrete pillar trying to avoid a lady with a pram, tore a bit of my ear and left a nasty indent in my skull behind my ear. my ear essentially got torn because of the force that was forced against it from my skull and the pillar. there was alot of blood, i dont' think i've ever bled that much in my life... oh wait i have, there was the time i got my wisdom teeth out, after i left the dental hospital, i parted my lips abit and blood just started dripping out, i coldn't just spit it out as everything in my mouth was swollen so i had to stream it out kinda like a fountain. my mother nearly threw up when she saw all the blood that was streaming from my lips. i had to regularly "empty" my mouth of blood and saliva 3 times hourly for about 24 hours. the pain was too much, the painkillers didn't help all that well.

but all the stuff i've been through doesn't even compare to the horror stories i've just read. we've got a lot of brave men in here.
