  2. I've dislocated three ribs*, three seperate accidents. I'm not sure how
    it'll effect me for the rest of my life, et.c though...

    (The technical term is partially dislocated, or sublaxated, whatever)

    I've never actually had a unicycling injury. I'm assuming you mean
    something debilitating...the only things that ever happen to me are
    pedal bites, and rack-age.

  5. I've got one super bad ankle that has about 30% less mobility than my
    other. That was the cause of the loss of my spot on the track team. 🙁

  6. Torn rotator cuff, ankle sprains (all over-extension, not rolled) and a
    really bad palm injury, all mostly healed now, so if anything, I'm
    riding even more!:p

  7. Recently I've been playing unicycle hockey with the LUNIs and I have
    started falling backwards off of my unicycle, landing on my butt and
    arms. For some reason I am failing to absorb the shock with my arms--I
    seem to be landing straight-armed, thus transmitting a heck of a shock
    through them. My left wrist in particular objects to this treatment.

    I used to say that when falling off a unicycle I always land on my
    feet, but I've defied that general rule three times in the last five
    weeks, and my wrist has not entirely recovered.

    It hasn't stopped me riding, but it does make me a bit hesitant to ride
    backwards.

  9. A few broken toes, ankles twisting and being sprained, being put in a
    cast. I few hand and back sores form when I was just starting to jump
    and use a handle.

    I would have lots of pedal bites and scars, but I wear 661s, so those
    are prevented now, but I have about 10 bad ones before I bought those.
    I have a nice scar on my ankle I got frame failing an 8-set.

    Ive bruised my butt, that one probably hurt the worst, and lasted a
    while. Also got some bruises on my inner thigh from falling on rails
    and other skinnies. I fall on my hands a lot, but they never get hurt.
    Lucky they are callused, so it takes a lot to ever cut my hands now.
    Stings a little though.

    I rarely rack myself. I think I have about 5 times in total of all the
    times I have unicycled, and I dont want to do it ever again.

    Oh, and tire burns. That one left a nice scar right below my knee.

    I think thats all of them.

    Oh! Falling on my uni and getting the pedals jammed into your back.
    That sucks.

    Dropping off a little root with some speed, I think I landed on another
    root. It really didn't hurt that bad, walked it off for a couple
    minutes then finished the ride. Took a couple days for the bruise to
    appear.

  20. Yesterday I was riding a narrow cement ledge and my tire slipped off to
    one side, I didn't get hurt to bad but the funny thing was is that it
    managed to tear one pant leg clean off at about mid thigh, man I felt
    retarded riding home with half daisy dukes on.
