Urbex Injuries....

[james.s]

Not urbex related either. But here is what remains of my reconstructed finger after I sectioned it with a bandsaw. I did the other one with a BUTTER KNIFE!!!
But there is no such scar.

Not really an injury however I had to have a 24 hour heart monitor the other week, upon leaving the hospital I spotted two Nursing accomodation towers being demolished.

Thompski, was your heart monitor incident really to do with the demolition of the towers

Nope, it was due to a Virus I had in March messing around with my heart, the monitor was a precautionary measure to make sure there was nothing more serious (which it couldn't have been as it took the Hospital a month to arrange an appointment) - and no I haven't been to Mexico recently.

Oh, ok, I initially thought that you had seen the towers being demolished and suffered a heart attack
Sorry 'bout that

or maybe nearly died(!)

I actually died... boy did that hurt!

Dogs!?!

I actually died... boy did that hurt!

It's a right b*tch when you die ain't it??


Of all these injuries the one that sticks in my mind the most is the dog attack... I was at a site last night that I know uses dogs (I know this from nearly being caught everytime I've been there before!) but I never let it bother me much as I'd never actually heard of anyone being attacked.

Theres a fine line between bravery and stupidity... dunno which side I'm on

forgot...

forgot to say about any injuries...

Not had anything serious yet, ripped my jeans and cut my leg climbing a fence a few years ago while in a bit of a hurry. Two inchs to the left and it wouldn't have been leg that I cut!

nutnut that looks nasty fella! I cant believe you got the staples (zips) on both sides, must have hurt like hell.

I had them on my knee and had to take the staples out myself as the nurse was rubbish. The pins unfortunately wont get picked up by the metal detectors... you'll still doubt it until you go through one though. rest up and get back out here reporting!

before todays visit to west park i broke my toe last night on the sodding vacvcum cleaner even though its been where it is for ages and i waS just being clumsy.

does that count? a pre-trip innjury? didnt put me off my trip. im hard as nails me!! ;-)

ok so we have scars not cause by urbex so have my scar. caused when i went through a plate glass dorr when i was 12 playing '40-40' with my sister and a friend.

my lower left leg. i know it looks like an arm but its my leg. not the best photos, hard to take. if the top surgeon wasnt at the hospital that day i was told i would probably have lost my leg it was in that badder state. the scars have healed quite well. i tell anyone who asks that its a shark bite!! thank god for surgeons.....

Barry Sheene had problems getting though metal detectors due to the metal pins in his legs.

It got so bad that he ended up having to carry x-ray plates to convince some customs officials.

Comic Relief or Children In Need once had a Spitting Image skit on Question Of Sport where one of the photos in the picture round was of Robocop, & someone guessed that it was Barry Sheene in the nude.

Yes, i remember Barry Sheen having problems-such a shame he had his problems and had to move to sunnier climates to have quality of life and off course, even sadder still the great man is no longer with us

R.I.P. Barry Sheen

I think maybe they used different materials back then in the good old days.

40/40 now your talking! Oh! how simple being a kid was back then! None of this materialistic rubbish, got to go and spend,spend, spend to have fun! I am very lucky that i live in a village nowadays, so just hop over the fence into the woods and across the fields with my kids so still some value left in good old fashioned playtime

Glad to hear all is well with your leg/arm, lucky the shark wasn't that hungry when it bit you

Wasn't too bad in the pain stakes to be totaly honest, was pretty cool with it, which suprised me looking at the extent of the injury. Can't wait to get into physio with the sweede porn-star, err i mean physiotherapist!

Although i will say that when i had the staples out on Monday, they were a tad tender over the ankle bone on the big zip!

As soon as i saw the wounds, i thought hmm.... Zip tatoo's then for me

Great minds n all that

Hi Guys and girls

Well just the usual small cuts and the like but the worst was when me and Fluffy went to RAF Long Marston to go and look at the Battle HQ, I walked right up to it, but did not spot the re-bar hiding in the long grass.
cut my shin open and it hurt like F***, the worst bit was that since Fluffy don't drive I had to drive back to south Oxfordshire like it, still have the marks on my leg and that was a few month back.

Cheers Newage

40-40 is a game iof hide and seek where the place the counter/finder counts from and then seeks and the hiders have to get back to where the counting began and touch 'base/home'

bad idea to use a plate glass window as 'home'

Ahh, Cheers! Isn't that the only way to play hide and seek?

Thats how I used to play just never heard it called 40-40

Talking of hide and seek, anyone up for a game?

Celo!

Massive bruises from pretty much every urbex I've done.
Twisted knee from first Urbex with Faz, refused to give in to gender stereotypes and leapt off a wall.
Broke a couple of toes on my first explore (5 years ago) tripping over... my foot.
I've got a rare medical condition so all my joints dislocate easily, so on pretty much every trip out I lose a wirst, or a hip, or something. Especially ROC posts. Ladder + bendy wrists = sliding against back of shaft not using hands
Fell through a staircase once.
Fell two storeys from scaffolding onto a heap of sand. Only injury was an eye infection.
And, of course, the usual rose scratches, glass cuts, and splinters.
