This troper seems to have a knee made of plasticine and balsa wood. Following an old track injury, it has become a daily grind not to knock it out of line or injure it; a perfect example comes from my High School days. Out with a few friends and having a good time, I managed to dislocate the joint and shift the cap purely by taking a step while pigeontoed (that is to say, with my toes turned inwards) that required a doctor and a metric ton of painkillers to put back in place. Fun Trope to live with.

This troper's feet are rotated about 45 degrees out, while her knees are rotated about 45 degrees in (BodyHorror, anyone?), which has predisposed her for knee injuries. While bouncing lightly on her toes before fencing practice, she somehow managed to snap something inside of her kneecap that basically sprained her knee. To this day, the doctor still has no idea what the hell she did to herself. Both of her knees pop and snap with no warning, and the joints will start getting loose and snapping around if she's been standing for too long.

This anonymous troper has the same problems, with the addition that even the force of walking around can pull his shoulders and knees several centimeters to INCHES out of the sockets. The worst part isn't the constant threat of severe injury, or the constant painful yet minor injuries, it's the inability to find knee-pads that fit due to the funky leg shape.

For whatever reason, I have taken soccer ball and door to the face without showing any signs of pain, but I can't handle the pain of stretching.

This troper's joints exhibit this. They crack loudly when flexed after periods of inactivity, his fingers are prone to dislocation, his skin tends to be sliced very easily, and the torn rotator cuff is still healing, but the underlying bone structure seems to be made of rubber. On slamming into the back of a car from a normal cruising speed while cycling, this troper has felt his ribs bend before popping back into shape.

This troper had a fair chunk of bone smacked off his thumb by ... a school door. And was blamed for doing it on purpose. Sigh.

This troper knows someone who's apparently had his arm broken by a dodgeball being thrown at him. Bollocks.

Same here!

My sister broke her pinky finger while playing a cushion war. She's kinda prone to accidents, and I usually joke saying that she took all the "breakings" for herself, since I've never broken any bones.

This used to happen to me during elementary school, so much that I could have 5 or 6 severe bone or muscle injuries each year. One of the most egregious examples is my breaking a finger because a classmate ran past me and bent it slightly when passing by. It turns out I need to take supplementary calcium pills.

I broke my arm falling off my bed. And it's not even a high bed. It's maybe two feet off the ground, and there was a really soft rug under it.

I broke my arm slipping on a toy car and landing on a rug.

This tropers arms, specifically his shoulders, are like this. Not in the easily breakable sense but in the 'Holy crap, are you Gumbi' sense.

This troper recently heard a story that embodies this trope; a young man kissed his GF goodbye, put his helmet on and rode off on his motorbike. While still in sight of the GF (so not travelling that fast) he skidded out and came off the bike. He smashed, head first, into a lamp post, causing his helmet to pop off...containing his head...A subsequent investigation showed, ironically enough, that had the lad not been wearing a helmet, he'd have shattered his jaw and most of his face but would likely have lived. It was the 'lip' effect of the extra inch or so of helmet on the lamp post, that caused his head to be ripped from his shoulders. DISCLAIMER; THIS IS NOT IN ANY WAY ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO GO WITHOUT HELMETS. THIS WAS A ONE OFF FREAK ACCIDENT AND HE COULD STILL HAVE DIED WITHOUT HIS HELMET. HELMETS SAVE LIVES. Still, turns out we're more fragile than we realise.

This troper remembers another story-a friend of said troper stepped back to avoid a swing, and tripped over her own feet. She fell over an ankle high 'wall' and fell on her bum. She broke her arm so severely that she could touch the shoulder of the same arm...from behind. When she, in shock, tried to bend the arm back the right way, it bust through the skin. Almost ten years after the fall, during which she didnt bump her head, the girl developed Grand Mal epilepsy, and scans showed a 'scar' on her brain, almost definitely caused by that same fall.

This troper has had a sliver of glass, from a window broken by a gently thrown football, go in one side of his arm and come out the other - nicking an artery in the process.
