Not me but my late gran broke two bones in her foot by dropping a frozen chicken and my mum her nose when a frozen chicken drum stick flew up and hit her.

This thread has made me laugh :D (in a sick kind of a way!!)

Mine is probably partially dislocating my knee while picking up a small plastic ball... I barely moved my knee & *pop* out it went & down I fell...

Oh & pulling my shoulder out of joint by twisting my arm to see what was tickling it... & it was just my hair!!

also..
When I was little my dad tore a tendon in his knee leaping over the bar (he ran a pub at the time) doing a Mick Jagget impression. The song "moves like Jagger" always reminds me of it

I fell over whilst stood still in front of a class today. My ankle gave way and I just crumpled to one side. Painful but extremely funny!

it's so hard to pick just one! Ok, I'll go with a series of fairly extreme ones. I put my neck out for 2 weeks just by sneezing, I then immediately put my back out in a particularly excruciating fashion just bending down a little to kiss my daughter on the top of her head.

Dislocated 2 ribs, sitting in a car.
Was the start of my decline 2 years ago. Things have got steadily worse since.

Also, dislocating my fingers while knitting. Then having to explain why I yelped in pain to my knitting group. :oops:

At work years ago, i was reaching for something at the bottom of a chest freezer. I over reached, nearly fell in, and then pulled my back trying to get my balance back. when I stood up, I was kind of distracted, and forgot that there was a cupboard on the wall above it, and hit my head on it. :S It wasn't even the first time that stupid cupboard had got me that way :oops:
My other half isn't immune from silly accidents either. A few months ago he was walking back home from the pub, after an evening with his mates. He was walking on the grass for some reason (still hasn't told me, not sure that he can remember) put his foot in a pot hole, and fell over. He tore a cartilage in his left knee, and broke his huge goth boots. Still recovering from the op to sort out the knee, and he is still sulking more over breaking his favourite boots than denting his knee.... :lol:

Years ago I broke my wrist falling of a crutch that broke having just been issued by casualty to replace the one with the worn out rubber. Did not check as busting for the loo,as I hopped forward it snapped and trying not to put weight through my plastered leg I fell against the wall and snap!!!! Imagine what was said at casualty. :)

Sat on the floor with my baby cousin. Leaned over to one side on my arm and my wrist pops and I go flying down face first on the wooden floor.
Well it amused my baby cousin :lol:

Leaning over the bath washing my hair with the shower...overbalanced and went in head first and landed upside down in the bath
(I have to admit that it's happened more than once and I'm banned from doing my hair on my own now)

A few years ago I had a dislocated hip and was on crutches, was in the shopping mall with my mum and went to get food, I picked up an empty paper plate and dislocated my wrist and thumb in the process and my mum just started screaming (she hadn't quite got over the freaked out stage of seeing me dislocate) EVERYONE stared!!
