There is a famous reddit thread about this...

Guys reminiscing over rippin the ears off it as kids?

Sixty?!?!?!?!

When they need to layer the stitches it can be a complete mess.

I had a compound fracture in my finger that took 40 stitches, the scar is tiny but they had to do like 3 layers of stitches.

I broke both my wrists when I was 13

I broke both my wrists at the same time when I was 11, the day before Ash Wednesday. I was back doing my paper round about 2 weeks later. The best part of it all was my parents bought me a typewriter.

What does compound mean- is that when it comes out of the skin

That’s correct.

That’s correct.

I hate it when they blur those out on medical shows.

I hate it when they replay broken limbs when they happen in the UFC, I mean I"m ok with guys and girls beating the **** out of each other but broken arms/legs are disgusting!

Yup. I've seen the leg snaps of Weidman and Silva once as it happened live. Never seen a replay and never will.

I was in the arena for the Silva one, had no idea what happened, watched the replay on the big screen and gasped as everyone else did, try to avoid it as much as I can.

The Weidman one was even more brutal, geez

I broke my leg ice skating in a P.E. class in Year 10. Aside from the embarrassment of THAT being the reason I broke it, it was literally the week before the footy season began. Ruled me out for the entire season

I had an ice skating accident when I was about 15. Someone skated across my path and I went flat on the back of my head and needed quite a few stitches. Now I have a shaved head you can still see a big scar.

Not exactly a beginners sport unfortunately. Doesn't exactly give you too many cool points either at age 15 by suffering an injury while ice skating, compared to a broken leg in footy.

I tried ice skating once. Was a very frustrating couple of hours.

Was ice skating an 80s thing or was that just the only time I've ever done it?

No I went to Docklands, circa 2009ish

When I Was a kid in the 80s I just went rollerskating, never ice.

The old staggering around, clinging to the rail, watching others sail past gracefully. People of all ages, elderly couples, toddlers. But not me

Yep it weas horrendous. I was a bit shocked at how hard it was, as I thought I had good balance.

A group of us went rollerskating at a rink. It was very crowded and one of our friends got knocked or tripped, went down and someone’s skate broke one of his ribs

Ouch.

I have very fond memories of the local rollerskating rink. Hanging out with my cousins, one of them ended up working there.

The occasional youth group outing there too

Yep, and the one time I work up the courage to challenge myself and skate freely, disaster strikes. Never again...

oh yeah, me too. In the brown hire skates.
Nothing says rookie like those 80's brown hire skates.
Dragging yourself around the outside clinging to the bar, also,speaks loudly

I must be the one perverse sort here who likes watching replays of injuries.

Sure.
Howe's arm break was a stinker but I wanted replay after replay. (Lucky it was captured by someone and I saved it.

Idk if I like replays of injuries per say.. but when the medical or Vet shows blur out or just dont show the operation they're doing, it really shits me.

It's fascinating to me.
