Question - Whats your worst exploring injury?

[The Young One]

If the reaper ever reads this thread he’s got plenty of names for his list 😬

Well I do now

Surprisingly avoided injuries whilst doing this,

Stood on a nail down some tunnels last and needed a tetanus shot. Felt rough they day after as I didn’t got and get it checked immediately and went on a site visit instead 😬

Excluding the usual scratches, cuts and, twisted ankles, there's nothing I can really think of.
There's a few houmous bumps such as
- Walking into a surgical lamp
- Running into a locked door whilst attempting to make a quick exit
- Sneezing, quite violently, and headbutting a shipping container
- Attempting to climb back onto a rough roof, resulting in some cuts to the hand, as security appeared at the door I'd just opened
- Sliding out of control down an embankment into a ditch full of thorns
- Getting stabbed to death on Eggborough's fence.

Went through the floor on one explore, thankfully mattresses below broke my fall!

- Sliding out of control down an embankment into a ditch full of thorns

Reminds me of the occasion when, during my first trip to the continent, my friend decided to take a 'shortcut' across a roadside ditch to get to whichever location it was we were walking to, only to lose his footing and slide down it, with his foot then hitting the leaves at the bottom which rather worryingly then rippled, and we realised the whole thing was full of water, I had to pull him out using some random piece of baling twine I found lying around otherwise he was going to go in

End of February I was up in Sally-In-The-Woods, doing a bit of underground exploring. At the end of it all I was making my way back to my bicycle and managed to badly twist my left ankle.

8 days later I was at hospital with my wife & decided get my ankle checked out at A&E as it still felt quite bad. That was when I discovered it was a fractured fibula.

It's mostly back to normal now but still twinges a bit when I'm doing a bit too much. Will be a few few months more yet before it's completely fine I reckon

Did Sally enjoy her time in the woods as much as you before you buggered your ankle.

She says she did but she could be telling porkies 😆

Like others have already said, nothing but my pride. I went arse over tit when I slipped in years-old sludge during an explore in a transport depot in Liverpool and got covered in God knows what when I landed. Luckily I had my bag on my back which undoubtedly protected me.
