Had a Paintball related injury, wanna be in PGI?

I dislocated my shoulder back in 95 sliding [oh well running and tripping] into a collection of oil drums. That smarted but not as much as the fools who said that they could pop it back into place.

Fractured my ankle tripping over an unseen tree root in '96. Then like a fool and still being half pissed from the skin full I had consumed the night before. I thought that it was only twisted and hobbled on for the rest of the day. It was only on the next day when i was a bit concerned about my now baloon ankle and the fact that I couldn't walk properly that I called the paramedics for them to tell me that it was fractured. Still aches now when its cold and damp.

Got a water infection crawling through a ditch full of ice cold tepid water last year. My old-man swelled up like a balloon and it stung like a bugger when i had to go for a slash.

I've also knocked my self out a couple of times running into things. I really should go and get my brakes sorted sometime.

But worst of all, at uttoxeter this year. I rang up the field in order to mug the player behind the back right coke can. Rounded it and took him out. then carried on the run to check to see if somebody was still left in behind the back left can. I couldn't see anybody so changed direction to go for the flag-pull and stepped out of bounds. My ego has never been so hurt and my team mates won't stop ribbing me about it.:(

All I have managed to do is dislocate my little finger whilst sliding into a supair bunker. Didn't hurt just felt strange. It did however look really bad as the top half of my finger was bent at 90 degrees sideways out from my hand . It looked so good, I nearly had a team mate puke. lesson learnt - don't put your hand down when sliding on arse.

Uhm...

I sprained my wrist once when I fell over a fallen log. I now always look in the direction I'm running. That seems to have prevented further injury.
