Urbex Injuries....

[james.s]

Talking of falling, LIO112 once shouted police when I was a long way up on a maintenance gantry, I ran down the ladder and fell about 10-15ft to find out he was joking about the police

Not strictly an injury though, I was unscathed.

I fell through a floor the other day, it looked pretty dire from the outset but for some reason I decided to 'test' it. There was a short 'shelf' of flooring next to a big hole, the beams looked OK and most of the floor was intact - it's something I've put trust in a few times before. At the other end of the room there was a chair. If it's supporting the weight of a small wooden chair it must be solid.
I put some of my (hefty) weight on it and it collapsed before I could think about it. I fell about 8 feet onto a heap of bricks, slates and rotten wood. It was a bit of a shock as I've never fallen through a floor before. A lesson learnt...
Now I have a pretty wretched back and shoulder. Stellar work!

Wow, hope you're not too injured, Lost, it's not the fall so much as what you land on

I have suffered numerous minor injuries, mainly due to Herris fencing and brambles, but from my most recent escapades I suffered quite a nasty gash to my right thumb (broken glass) but that did not stop me from sustaining medium abrasions (climbing drain pipes) and bruising in my tricep area (both arms) from climbing in/out of somewhere. Still, having identified our access to the seemingly impregnable, we will return sober and camera'd up in the near future

Falling through things isn't pleasant, even if you don't get hurt.

I haven't really injured myself exploring yet, and I'd like to keep it that way.

 

[Bryag]

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.

Jesus! Maybe you should consider another hobby! Philately perhaps

 

[Seahorse]

I got a runny nose from too much pollen today. Does that count?

 

[VforVendetta]

A rusty nail in the foot when jumping a wall to an Asylum lol

...but another hobby wouldn't be as much fun

Managed to dislocate my hip today, Faz went ahead over weak boards and I was too busy worrying to watch my step

Also dislocated my neck... but that wasn't so much Urbex related, though I was doing it at the time, it needed fixing and twisted it a bit too far!!!

 

[Urban Terrorist]

Got stung by a sting nettle yesterday, that count?!!!

But then in the past I've fractured my skull twice, broken many ribs and punchered my lung, shattered my kneecab, broke me leg in several places from motorbike accidents, so I'll take it easy out there!!!

As you all should do!!

 

[escortmad79]

Got a blister on my foot from exploring around Lanarkshire today!

nutnut's ankle, XRAY update

Well folks, finaly had my plaster off yesterday Although i have been hobbling about for the last fortnight on it (against doctors orders) i now cannot walk again :icon_evil which is a bit of a pain!

at least i have the fit Sweedish porn star/physiopherepist (spot welder from newcastle type knowing my luck) to look foward to for a month or 2 to get it all working again

Anyway, here is the Xray they took yesterday, excuse the crap phone pic off the monitor, but they wanted £20 to order it on cd and i am a stingy pauper at the moment, so kindly told them i didn't want one of those.

Hope you enjoy my new robotic implants, no more jumping out of windows for me

Check the box at the bottom of the screen "Buy a Used BMW 3-Series" good to see our doctors find enough time to shop whilst treating the ill and needy

Nice one NutNut, puts my 3 broken ribs sustained on saturday into the shade.
(note to self: must try harder)

 

[Foxylady]

Hope you enjoy my new robotic implants...

Blimey, those are well impressive. Glad it's going okay, nutnut.

Nice one! Ribs are bad enough though!

Apparently they are pretty painful, not broken any of them...YET

Thanks Foxy

Kind of impressive in a "you stupid idiot, act your age, not your shoe size kind of way"

Going to take the dog for a walk around the showground in a bit for a bit of a test run hopefully i will make it there and back without collopsing

 

[ukmayhem]

I been pretty lucky so far, couple of twisted ankles, winded myself when falling onto my already cracked ribs from my car accident. My most commen injury is catching my testicles climbing over fences LOL

Made me think of Buster Gonad and His Unfeasably Large Testicles for VIZ, got a terrible mental image of you now matt

You need to get out of this habbit immediately, thats the last thing we need sprawled across the pages of our lovely forum and second home! your testicles gushing with blood

You can borrow 3 of mine until they heal if you like?

I got two cracked ribs in a Martial Arts related incident (many years ago), and I have to say it was extremely painful. Painful when you move, painful when you cough, excrutiating when you sneeze, painful when you breathe (try stop doing that for any length of time!)

You have my sympathies, Gangeox, they canny plaster your rib-cage

Although I will say the "horse tranquilizer" painkillers the doc gave me were awesome. So awesome, in fact, I forgot I was in pain until they wore off!.

They gave me a presciption in casualty for pain killers, but the hospital chemist was shut and i've not been back for them, i'm gritting my teeth at the moment with every movement, breath sneeze etc!!
