    My Ulna (at my wrist). I've broken many fingers and toes, also. I almost broke one of the carpals in my hand, also, but got lucky.

    At age 10 I broke the ulna on my left arm when I scored a touchdown but came down awkwardly right on top of the football. :cool:

    At age 49 I cracked the patella in my left knee when I ripped off the patella tendon playing basketball.

    I've broken various fingers 7 times doing things like football, sledding (hit a pole), imaginary boxing (hit the iron rail holding the top bunk up).

    I broke 3 ribs when I was getting pulled on a tube behind a speed boat (455 dual carb) and we were playing a game called whip-it. The song had just come out and there were too many drinks involved. The object was to try and hang on while you were drug around as fast as they could. Then they would crank the boat at just the right time to send you into a large wake (usually kicked up by a Sea Ray's). I have no idea how fast that tube was going, but the smart thing would have been to just let go or get off. Ahh-check that, the smarter thing would have been to not do it. I'm lucky it was only 3 ribs.

    I also broke 2 toes. I was working in a gas station that had a car wash up north. I had just got a date with the most beautiful girl in the school but work would not let me off. I got so mad that I went out back and there was a large clump of what I thought was snow. I kicked it as hard as I could expecting the snow to fly. It turned out the car wash mist had turned this "clump of snow" into a non-moving clump of ice. I went on the date before going to the doctors. Definitely not worth it.

    I've never broken a bone in my body in my life, and I have never had a cavity on any of my teeth either.

    Milk builds strong bones.

    How in the heck do you break a foot running? Are we ALL prone to breaking our feet as well? "SURGEON's WARNING: Running can cause feet to break."

    No broken bones but I did dislocate my right thumb when I was in the 6th grade (this idiot kicked it, supposedly *accidentally*). I have lost the nail to my big toe (both right and left) numerous times. As for breaking bones in others - I broke the nose of the most feared guy in my class. We were playing backyard football one day and we were on the same team. We both were going for a pass but didn't see each other and his nose slammed into the side of my head. Blood started going everywhere and he cussed me as he knew his nose was broken immediately. Yet he didn't cry and kept playing (we were like 14 at the time) while I continued to have a ringing headache!! :eek: :eek: :D
