What is the worst injury you've ever had and how'd you get it?

just fucked myself up pretty bad riding my dirtbike on my lunchbreak at work, got some pretty mean road rash on my hands, one leg and elbow because I fell and slid on asphalt, broke my phone and got pretty bruised up on my chest and cracked my knee pretty hard.
On a positive note, the bike survived! 
I've been pretty fortunate with getting injured in my life, only had stitches once or twice and only like 4 or 5 stitches and only fractured my pinky so today probably takes the cake for the worst. What's the worst injury you've had and how did it happen?

2 injuries, both playing football.
One, I broke my right arm. I tried to brace myself for a fall as I was being tackled, and like a fucking idiot I extended my arm out towards the ground as I was falling. Snapped my arm clean through on impact. Was in a cast for months.
Two, I was catching a football on a pass, that somehow split the skin between fingers as I caught it. I was walking back to the huddle and someone noticed that I was gushing blood like a water faucet. It required stitches and I couldn't use that hand properly for 11 weeks.

Forearm injuries bruised my tendons twice really bad while working out. Grip strength is 80% what it used to be. No pain no gain

Flipped my bike trying to jump over a pill of rocks my friend had just jumped over.
All I remember is seeing pile of rocks coming faster......blank...... I was standing up with blood all over me. I couldn't even tell you how long I was out. Then a lady came out of her house panicking and helped me out. It's fucked up cause, when I think back of that black out, it makes me realize that sudden death would feel somewhat like that. Everything is fine and then black...

Outside of a car accident that messed up my neck and most of my back..
The worst was when I was younger. We had just gotten a puppy and an extended leash back when they were more wire than nylon. The dog took off to my side then jetted behind me and bolted. The wire on the leash slashed the back of my legs near the knee and cut me up good. I came home with blood sloshing in my shoes. My mother was a nurse and she couldn't believe her eyes. I lost a lot of blood and was lucky my ligaments and shit didn't get cut. If the leash was longer I probably would've been hamstringed.

I've remained remarkably intact save for a couple of nasty concussions and some soft tissue injuries that took a chiropractor, massage therapist, and physical therapy and some significant time to heal.
Most of my injuries are from horseback riding, I grew up three day eventing which can be summed up as : galloping horses towards large solid objects hoping to jump over it. I've been trampled, dragged upside down after getting my foot caught in a stirrup leather, cleared jumps without my horse, you name it. I even had a friend pass away when I was 14(she was 17) due to complications of a head injury due to the sport. I just have been lucky, and I know how to fall without hurting myself or getting caught up underneath the horse.

I've been remarkably lucky throughout my life considering how many close calls I've snuck through.
I've blown my right eye up plenty of times at the eyebrow and rocked the golfball, have a fat scar where i got it glued back together. it seems to be my achilles heel.
I got two partial ligament tears this year, one in my ankle from skiing, and one in my knee from climbing. those were pretty fucked. the ankle was probably the worst I guess.
all things considered though, how have I been so lucky?

I was sanding a 80 year old door face around the door knob hole, the sand paper caught a feature of the hole and pulled back a sliver of the wood. The 5" piece lanced into my palm down by my wrist, the speed and force of my downward stroke lanced the splinter into my palm mostly parallel to my metacarpals. I pulled a 1" piece out of the wound, not realizing that there was still almost 3" of splinter embedded deep within my hand. An hour or so later it began swelling and the hospital did an X-ray, not seeing it (cause it was organic material, luckily no lead pant was present) ultrasound revealed the foreign body. It took 4 days for them to get around to remove it cause I didn't have insurance.

Torn acl and fractured knee cap from motocross. In the middle of a race the guy that was supposed to be waving a yellow flag letting me know someone had crashed was asleep so I landed right on the guys bike and went end over end. Had plenty of wrecks and injuries but that was the worst. My knee has never been 100% since and I was 16 when it happened.

Torn ACL + compound fracture of the ankle when I was still bmxing.. Had no phone at the time & was deep in the woods working on my jumps, had to push with one foot on my bike to the nearest house for help. They ended up not being home so I laid in the road until someone stopped to help lol

That's a good one. I put a slowing skilsaw blade the long way in my right pinkie once. Only time I ever had stitches that didn't involve surgery. Never broke a bone.

Broke my ankle skate boarding and walked on it for a week before I decided it was time to go to the hospital 
Compound fracture to the tibia accompanied by a spiral fracture down to my ankle accompanied by a compound fracture to the fibula all resulting from a cheap hit in a hockey game. Needless to say my leg still fucking hurts from that

Some dopey doctor let his intern give me a vaccine in my shoulder. Resulted in bursitis, complete rotator cuff tear, frozen shoulder, and something else. Ended up getting surgery and now my shoulder hurts just about everyday.
Besides that I once had to pass a kidney stone that was just under the size where they do surgery or blast it out. That probably doesn't count though

Pre-School I blacked out and broke my arm when I fell over the stairs on the playground 
2nd grade this black kid tackled me from behind and my wrist snapped at the joint so it has its issues sometimes.
Senior year was slicing shit on xanax in my kitchen and a serrated knife went straight into the webbing between my thumb and index finger. Got stitches in the ER, doctors were concerned that I might have sliced so deep Id lose use of my thumb but it wasnt that deep. Couldn't grip anything for a few weeks and then when I got the stitches out it ripped right back open on vacation so I healed it with super glue

My gall-bladder exploded from my 25+ years of alcohol abuse. I thought I just had a stomach-flu for 2 weeks with a low-grade fever. Then it got worse & my temp shot up to 103.5 & my wife called an ambulance. I got to the hospital, where they ran a shitload of tests on me, & the CAT-scan showed my gall-bladder in a bunch of pieces. Doc said another 24 hours would've killed me. Everyone was amazed that I didn't come in sooner...with all the pain & not being able to keep food down. Anyhow, emergency surgery was in order & a 45 minute operation took them 3.5 hours. I was just happy to get that blown-apart gall-bladder out of my body...also 1 of my close-calls of death. I've had so many, I can't keep track of the amount. Especially my drug-smuggling years...so many times were extremely close to being killed by outlaws with 0 sense-of-humor

I tripped over an aquarium in the middle of the night; blood was gushing from my leg. I got my glove caught in a large drill bit at work. It tore my finger apart. When I was a kid, I was walking across a wet log. I slipped/fell and a half inch chunk of wood got shoved up into my kneecap. I think the latter was the most painful of them all though.

i got hit in the face a few times with a bat. It cut my forehead in a couple spots, and gashed the inside of my mouth. some of my teeth were loose, but they didn't come out. My thumb also got bruised, and the nail came off, but i can't remember how that happened. Mildly concussed maybe? That all healed in a few weeks. I once got my rib busted boxing my buddy's 380 lb cousin. that hurt pretty bad for a couple months. I once was drilling a 1" hole through a block wall(for gas) and i was sighting down the bit to try to get the hole straight. Well, i hit rebar, and the bit bound up, and the rotohammer swung itself out of my hands and into my fuckin face. That was by far the hardest i have been hit in the face. i thought my teeth were missing for sure, but, nope, just a had a real bad cut and some swelling. I just kept stuffing my mouth with napkins and shit for the next few days till it stopped bleeding. I once ran my forearm through a mapp torch flame. it made a 2" bubble of skin in a fraction of a second. Had to rub burn cream on that shit for a month. keep it bandaged too. Branded my arms on hot pipes when sweating copper in tight spaces a bunch of times. I have a 2 millimeter hammer chip inside my elbow. Thats all i guess.
