Today, I went snowboarding and fell backwards, hitting my head on a patch of ice. When I got home, I told my brother I thought I might have a concussion. He told me I should be a man and suck it, swiftly smacking my head, causing me to pass out. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was making a snowman with my little cousin. I was collecting snow just outside the house, when out of nowhere a snowball struck me in the back of the head and caused me to headbutt the wall. I woke up a short while later to a medic telling me I had a nasty concussion. Thanks, cousin. FML
Today, I went snowboarding for the first time. I was so scared that I passed out. I was only on the kiddie hill. FML
Today, at a ski resort, I tried to impress an attractive girl on the slopes and failed, horribly. I ended up with a mild concussion and some serious cuts after tripping, tumbling and hitting my head against the ground. I don't think she was impressed. FML
Today, I got a concussion. It was when an entire shelf of bicycle helmets tumbled onto my skull. FML
Today, I ran up to my boyfriend to kiss him when he got home from work. I tripped and I fell on him, and he fell backwards. He ended up hitting his head on the sidewalk and had to get stitches. He also had a concussion. FML
Today, I fell asleep on the couch and my boyfriend thought it would be cute to carry me to bed. He knocked my head on the door frame and I pretended it didn't hurt because he felt so bad, but I shouldn't have. I was rushed to the hospital hours later with a concussion. FML
Today, I passed out. I fell to the hardwood floor, cut my chin, and bit through my lip. Fortunately, my brother was there to help stop the bleeding and get me some water. All I had to do was wait until he finished his game of Call of Duty. FML
Today, while making out with my boyfriend, I sneezed so hard that my head shot forward and smashed against his, sending his head backwards against the wall. He ended up with a concussion, and I still feel like someone hit me over the head with a chair. FML
Today, I slipped on my icy front porch, fell back, and hit my head on the step. I tried to get up, but lost my balance and fell halfway into the bush next to the steps. I then looked up to see my very hot, British, ex-Special Forces next door neighbor laughing so hard he dropped his snow shovel. FML
Today, I'm well aware that this is my own fault, but I went to a friend's house after working late. Ran towards the friend's front door and hit my head a tree limb that I didn't see. Flipped over, landed on the lawn, and blacked out for a minute. I got up, was dizzy, tripped, and fell on friend's porch. Second concussion in a year. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI for not wearing a helmet. It's a good idea to wear one while snowboarding, but it's a must to wear it while talking to your brother since he's known to deliver random head shots.

why are some people putting YDI? I'm pretty sure the OP told his bro about his head trauma just in case he did pass out and/or he needed the hospital. your bro needs to have a heart and be a little more empathizing

we're putting ydi because it seems fairly evident op wasn't wearing a helmet.

why are people assuming he wasnt wearing a helmet? its like a shell around your head, any blow it takes goes through to you, it just weakens it up a bit.. people playing hockey get concussions? is it because they take their helmet off and jump in front of slap shots? no, its because they were hit hard by something...

It's the severity of the concussion that is making people jump to that conclusion. The fact that his brother smacking him on the head caused him to pass out implies that it is pretty bad, nless the brother hit him ludicrously hard. You have to hit something really hard to make a helmet that useless and it's pretty hard to do that simply by falling backwards. When hockey players get a concussion it is usually because they were hit by a really fast moving, hard, puck, or were slammed into by large, reasonably fast moving people, on ice. They generally don't get them simply because they happened to fall over and hit their head on the ice.

Depends on who you do it with #23.

Your brother is an idiot. People can die from that stuff. While chances are you'd be OK, 'sucking it up' is no substitute for getting it checked out properly, and quickly. Never take the advice of morons.

A cousin of mine told me incest is bestest once. I thought about it a bit. Since she was a 1/4th cousin I had to agree.

Do some of you idiots not realize that football players get concussions all the time? And THEY ARE WEARING HELMETS! OP may have had one on also.

Football players wind up with concussions because they are being continuously slammed into by other people. They generally don't just fall over, hit their head on a hard patch of ground, and wind up with a concussion. As I told someone up there who said the same thing in regards to hockey players, it is the severity of the concussion that is making people assume the OP did not have a helmet on. It almost takes talent to smack into something hard enough to render your helmet pretty much useless, simply by falling over backwards.

Unless OP is a really big klutz and/or severely accident prone. I ripped a ligament and had micro tears in the arch of my right foot, as well as severely sprained a tendon on one side of the ankle and a ligament on the other. How did I manage this? Slipping on a rock during marching band practice. My foot bent back too much, like where your toes go back towards your leg, causing the tissues and ligament in my arch to rip due to the extreme tension and the ligament and tendon in my ankle to severely sprain when it twisted as I stumbled to stay standing and keep moving rather than falling. The point? OP may have just hit a sensitive spot in his head or a weak spot in his helmet. Maybe he hit at an awkward angle or something.
