Your worst paintball injury

[yakitori]

This weekend at the field I rolled my ankle running for a bunker, and heard it pop. It kinda freaked me out a little at first and I couldnt really play. I just laid there cussing for about 10-15seconds, then I managed to get up and shoot back about 4 balls before catching one in the warp feed.

I limped off the field and finished out the day w/ a little less aggressive play.

I have sprained my ankle before and it was worse. This time it wasnt terribly painful, just kinda shocked by it. Two days later, it aches, and I have it braced.

So far, this is the worst paintball injury Ive suffered in 2 years of playing.

I shatered my humoral bone (upper arm not funny bone) playing some woodsball a few years back. It required a plate and some screws and I was off the field for 8 or 9 months. It's all good now and I not olny have a totlaly boss scar I set off metal detectors too.
Guess who get searched EVERYTIME he flies I can't too much thought because they think I'm a are they wrong

I think Miscue wins this on AO.

He snapped his femur playing paintball a couple years ago.

not my injury, but ill share my friend's:

one time we were doing practice 2 on 2, with another teammate reffing. i was playing back so that my friend could get some practice in as front. on the break out, he slides into his bunker and i hear him say what i think is out. so i continue snapping in and out shooting at the other 2 guys when i notice he hasnt left the field yet. i look over at him and he yells to call the game. i could tell by his tone and use of some words i cant use here that he was injured so i immediately run to him, getting shot numerous times in the process as the guy reffing does the same. as i get to him, i notice he is laying on his left side, but his supporting himself ith his right hand. thats when i realized he had done something to his shoulder. i rolled him over, and when he stood up i could tell the shoulder was dislocated. we ended up taking him to the hospital where they said it was a tendon that had rolled out of place. this was after they had removed his jersey which had popped his shoulder back in.




luckly my worst is just tearing up my knees when i forget to wear my knee pads.

man, that's rough.. What exactly did he do to snap it? It's a pretty major bone in your body, considering it's responsible for alot of the blood creation within your system.. You could die from a broken femur.

That and it is the STRONGEST bone in your body.
Me thinks Miscue should drink more milk

dislocated shoulder jumping over snake

He's scrawny. I think he slid into a tree or something.

If you search AO, he posted X-rays and pictures of the metal rod he had taken out after it healed.

Found a pic of the x-ray.

The femur is a bad one to break. Ouch.

I tore the ligaments in my knee. I couldn't walk properly for almost 2 yrs. It took a lot of rehabilitation and put me in many painful situations over that time period.

[rkjunior303]

oof, that's gotta leave a mark

Jeeze Miscue, and I thought my injuries were bad.
Well, one game: I was playing out in the woods and tried to slide into cover. Problem was, it had rained the night before and the ground was slick. Lucky me, I hit a patch of mud and overshot into an oak tree. Felt like I got hit with a sledgehammer, took a while to get off the field. Went home and tried to shake it off. After about a week of pain and shortness of breath, I finally got a X-Ray: 2 broken and 1 fractured rib. Yeah, that kept me off the field for 5 months.

i'm young, i can still hurt myself...but my worst would be getting shot in the "wing wang" from the side at the tip *shivers*

Took a ball from about 5ft way direct center of my throat. I guess not really an injury but the only time I was every really hurt.

Myself worst I have done is rolling an ankle. My brother on the other hand is a mess. Few years ago he snapped the bones right above the ankle joint jumping over a brush pile playing in a woods ball tourney. Last time I got him to play indoor he busted his hand. I had ghosted thru a hallway past his team & was cleaning them out when he broke from a room across the hallway he felt me behind him & dove for a doorway hitting the door jam busted his revy & realized later that his hand was busted.
