killamch89 Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 We’ve all heard of some wild sports injuries, from freak accidents to just plain bad luck. What’s the most ridiculous or unexpected sports injury you’ve ever come across? Whether it’s a pro athlete or someone from your local league, I want to hear the craziest stories out there.
The Blackangel Posted October 18, 2024 Posted October 18, 2024 A ruptured testicle comes to mind. Some high school baseball player got hit in the nuts by a pitch, and left home plate on a stretcher. From what I understand, they had to remove it. So he only has one now.

I'm here right now and I feel his pain - literally. Every man knows the pain of being hit in the nuts. You'll see every other man grimacing even though it didn't happen to them.
The Blackangel Posted October 19, 2024 Posted October 19, 2024 (edited) Getting hit in the ovaries is the female equivalent to a man getting hit in the nuts. So even though I lack testicles, I understand that pain too. The worst sports injury I’ve ever heard of is when Clint Malarchuk got his jugular severed on the ice. It wasn’t anything intentional, it was a 3 man collision at the goal and he was the goal tender. A skate went across his neck and blood sprayed everywhere. By some miracle that defies logic, he survived. He returned to the ice with a vengeance after he fully healed. This is why goalies now wear a neck guard that’s harder than diamond . To make sure this never happens again. Edited October 19, 2024 by The Blackangel
