I broke my neck and my ulna.
Hub broke his arm as a kid.
1 dog broken leg [amazing considering how many dogs have passed thru my life and how much farm machinery is about ;)]

My brother fractured his collarbone when he was a kid. Had to wear this funky brace around his shoulders for a couple of months. Other than that, nothing at all.

I did break a few bones, but none of mine ;)

Usually, they're noses...

When I was a kid, all my sibling broke something, and I didn't. So far, my wife and kids and I have broken nothing.

It's the times. When I was a kid, playground equipment was anchored to blacktop. Entire playgrounds were paved. Now the rules call for a foot of mulch around playground equipment. It's much safer now to be a kid. (Except for that whole getting fat in front of the video games thing.)

Sticks and stones will break your bones
But names will never hurt you.

Everything in the circle. But, that's all. I've been lucky...in that regard anyway.

Broke all the bones in my pinkie and ring fingers, all the associated knuckles, and all the bones between them and my wrist. Never so much as broke the skin...Doc said the accident should've degloved the hand. As in 'rip-the-skin-muscles-and-all-right-off-the-hand'. Eight months of pins, casts and light duty, one handed work...Good times, man, good times.

Heheh, one-handed work.

In order of occurrence:

Closed Compound Fracture of Right Radius and Ulna with dislocation of Right Shoulder
Left Distal Wrist Fracture
Right Fourth and Fifth Metatarsal fracture (multiple, basically pulverized into itty bitty pieces)

All hand related.

Thumb - only one I was in plaster for.
Hand - two bones on my right hand - I'll take a pic, they didn't set properly and I cannot make a fist on my right hand.
Finger - left hand, middle finger, broke the top.

I've had numerous injuries to my lower legs, but never actually broken anything. Which has annoyed me at the time because my soft tissue injuries have been extremely painful and involved much limping and winceing but without a break the sympathy has been minor. The bruises have been good though.
