Today, at 28 years-old, I broke the first ever bone in my body. I broke a metacarpal in my hand by going down an inflatable waterside at a children's birthday party. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took my kids to an indoor playground. My two year-old wanted me to climb the rock wall and ring the bell. I slipped right when I was about to touch it. I landed wrong and felt a 'POP' and agony. Hello, broken ankle. FML
Today, the day after saying that I'd never broken a bone, I snapped my fibula in half. FML
Today, while helping a child through a tantrum, I was kicked and my hand broke. The bone is completely in half and fixing it will require plates, screws, and surgery along with months of recovery. Another day on the job. FML
Today, we did board breaking at a karate demonstration. I was nervous about failing in front of everyone, but I kept my cool. Good news, I broke the board. Bad news, I started crying like a baby because it hurt my hand. I'm 26. FML
Today, I fractured a bone in my foot by dropping a shampoo bottle on it. FML
Today, I broke my fifth bone in three years. While I'd like say that they've all been scary, athletic injuries, most have been from attempting to do things as mundane as walking. FML
Today, I was playing beer pong at a party and managed to get the ball in a cup. I jumped a little bit in excitement and somehow managed to fracture my foot while doing so. FML
Today, for my 18th birthday, I went out to a club with my mate and I drank so much I ended up breaking my nose. I was there for an hour. FML
Today, I managed to fracture my shoulder blade and dislocate my shoulder, just by falling off a deckchair. FML
Today, I drank a ton of beers for my 25th birthday. My friends love to watch me open beer bottles with my teeth. I chipped both of my front uppers doing this. I'm no longer covered by my parents dental insurance because I'm 25 now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The kids probably thought that was funnier than Eric the Rent-a-Clown or the train-half-snorter.

Don’t worry, I did something similar. At the end of June, I decided to ride a kick scooter for the first time since I was 8……I got one block away and then somehow flipped over the handle bars and ate shit. I didn’t break my hand, but I did slam it into the concrete so badly, I couldn’t use it at all for 4 weeks. I only started being able to open bottles and jars until a couple of weeks ago. I am also 28, lol. I think this is the point where our bodies are like, mmmm…no.

I am sorry you got injured. You do realize that there is a difference between children’s rides and adults rides don’t you? While you didn’t deserve to get injured, you had no business on a children’s water slide. The older you are, the less flexible your bones are and the more prone to break - Wait until you are in your 60’s then it gets even more obvious. You are old enough that you have to make the transition from doing children’s activities to being an adult. Sometimes that’s boring - Other times it’s great.

My first (and only) broken bone was when I was 21 and I fell off a tub while playing The Floor Is Lava and broke my coccyx.

I cringed just reading that

Despite the term "boner," there are no actual bones in the human coccyx.
