How many injuries have you had? See picture below . . .

[Ozzie NL]

Broken ribs and collar bone riding.

 

Thought Velominati specify a min of two broken bones to be required to call yourself a cyclist?

[V12man]

Lawn bowls..heart attacks etc?

Strokes and heart attacks... all sorts of age related syndromes

[V12man]

Both are contact sports doc. Injuries happen in them, most are accidental. Those hockey sticks and balls though can do some proper damage. Rugby injuries tend to be because of poor technique or positioning. At least that's my take on it.

 

As for lawn bowls [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]!!!!!!!

True - but 1 is contact by design and the other is contact by accident.

 

Both sports should have mandatory mouth guard rules for playing...

Broken collarbone. Broken ribs.

2 broken wrists. Cracked vertebrae in my neck. Separated shoulder. Cracked sternum. Numerous roasties.

Then decided to go SS rigid and all those problems went away

[Eugene Brown]

Broken hip from JUMA bail, and a few doses of blue nuts as a laaitie on bikes that were too big Not broken per se, but felt damn close to a crack at least

Rugby uses mouth guards. Not allowed to play otherwise. Not to sure about hockey but afaik they do.

holy cow!

Yeah, I know. Damn!!!!!

I can add some torn quads (cycling - trying to climb steep hills)at the same time, lots of hamstrings( soccer and distance running).

 

 

Hmmmm, strange nothing from martial arts(scratching my head now) apart from some bruises

[Patchelicious]

Cycling? 2 x broken clavicles, 3 ribs, concussions, ankle ligaments, trigger finger.

 

Can add some more if you account for the motorbike days, and even more if we include after school beatings...

A boss of mine years ago used to do Karate and had to go to Casualty with a dōjō induced injury once.

 

The nurse insisted on putting down the cause of the injury as "fighting . . . "

[TALUS]

I broke my nose 3 weeks back when I stripped my moer for the bicycle rack. The tilting mechanism was stuck so I stomped on it. Suddenly it came loose and the loaded rack swung back. Top tube of the nearest bike broke my nose. Blood. tears and swearing. Ego completely deflated. I am still looking for someone to blame.

(Ja, Ja the bike is OK. It is a titanium Lynskey)

Who would want to beat up an introvert like yourself?
