Age 7 - Fractured Left Eye Socket while running down darkened hallway to tell my parents about the cats being born in my bed....my sister heard the noise and came out of her room in time to run into me head first.

Age 9 - Fractured Skull again, rode my bicycle into an open man hole cover (don't ask)

Age 26 - Sternum, decided to jump a Go-Kart and landed on the front end, the steering column fractured my sternum....

Age 30 - R. Wrist, high sided my FZR and rode home w/it broken

Age 37 - 5 Breaks of the Pelvis, Right Leg went through my Right Hip 4", multiple small bones in my left foot, Radial Head of my Left Elbow destroyed, Left Radius shattered, 6 broken ribs on left side.....Head On Collision while on a Motorcycle

Age 39 - Right Thumb, Both wrists compression fractured, Left elbow again, 6 more ribs, Left Clavical in 2 places....Rear ended a car that decided to turn right from the middle lane....I was in the right lane and on a Motorcycle

Age 42 - Right Shoulder Blade (Scapula) 6 ribs on right side, left middle finger, left ankle....This was at Moroso Motorsports part and I was rear ended by another racer

Fractured scapula, thats impressive. In 6 yrs of emergency medicine I have never seen one.
