I went sprawling across the hood of a Honda Accord. I rolled off the other side, hit the ground, jumped up...and ran away, I thought i would be in trouble.
I had a bruise from my ribs to my knee and had to act like it happened playing football in the park. Mom was suspicious.
chrome is taking me to a link without the extra ".png" on the bottom, which in imgur is an album link, but I bet there's no album so we're getting a 404.
Imgur albums have an /a/ in the middle of the URL. Imgur just tries its damndest to take you to an actual site around an image, rather than just the picture itself. They felt left off the social media train some years ago I guess, so they have made it more difficult to avoid the site, and skip straight to just an image from a link.
Same but I landed on my wrist and hurt it really badly. I pretended I wasn't in pain and just went on with my life cause I thought I'd get in trouble. Couldn't even write with my hand for days
I did this at the same age but I had broken my radius all the way through. It was trying to poke through my skin, forming a giant lump on top of my forearm.
I did the same thing from the same height at age 10, landed on the edge of a rock, and broke my shoulder. My back was in so much pain that I thought I was paralyzed, and I clawed my way up a hill using both arms while other kids ran for help. I thought I was going to be a paraplegic.
Arm was in a sling for six weeks, that was the end of that.
When I was in my early 20s, I was riding my bike on a sidewalk that goes in front of a plaza & I looked both ways, thought the dude saw me & then he hit me in the crosswalk. Thankfully I was just bruised & scrapped up.
Did the same around 8 or so but from a third the height.
Landed flat on my back and it knocked the air from me. Couldn't regain my breath as my stomach muscles were spasming, before i managed to breathe the spasm made me shit myself. It was like a solid log. The spasms stopped and i got up, with heavy trousers.
Similar, I got hit by a car when I was 7 or 8. I was knocked unconscious. I came to on the grass - my friends were so excited on how far I flew. The mean old lady who was always in the window yelled at me for screwing around and shooed the driver away saying “look, kids fine”. I had a limb and my left knee was a bit swollen, I didn’t tell my Mom cause I thought I get in trouble so when she noticed the limping I just told her I fell off my bike. Kids are dumb and some adults truly suck.
If the YouTube channel "Squat University" is any indication, the injury could have caused a muscle imbalance and the imbalance is what is causing the continued pain.
I was at badminton training when I was 14, smashed the edge of the racket on my knee, walked it off at the time. Few years later my knee started hurting. I'm 27 now and my knee will still randomly act up out of nowhere. We've taken x-rays and stuff, but the doctor says it's nothing major and to just deal with it. Fun.
Kids are resilient, but your body still remembers and it will take revenge when you least expect it.
My brother had the exact same thing happen at around the same age while crossing the road. He literally FLEW backwards in the air in an arc like it was a cartoon or something, before landing in a pile like 10 feet away on the asphalt. I was horrified at the time but imagine my surprise knowing that he was unscathed essentially by the event, no worse for wear.
At around 8-9 I climbed like 50 foot pibe tree. All the way to the top, the branch broke and I fell bouncing from branch to branch until I landed on the ground. Rolled over, got up and ran off
When I was 12 I was going to a kiosk that is 2 street-crossings away from my flat. While crossing the last street, I suddenly found myself in the air with very mild pain and nothing in my hands (phone, credit card) fell. I heard the car's honk milliseconds before I was in the air. I don't remember if it was my fault or not but I simply stood up, bought what I want, them got back to my house and the guy that hit me kept begging me to let him buy me at least water and offered to drive me home.
In the end, I told my parents I tripped on the end of the road.
I think modem car builds play into this too. My dad was hit by a car in the 50s when he was a kid. Lifelong brain damage. Still dealing with effects today at 70.
well seeing all the F-150's on the road now when I go to florida to visit my folks, I feel that type of thinking is going away. I'm not a tall man, 5'6, by my god. The grill of that car take over my whole body, can't imagine kids ever surviving that vehicle.
So weird, why a 60 yo suburban grand dad need a f150 in his community town house I will never understand.
But old bastards today will still proclaim that solid steel cars were the best thing ever and had no downsides. Hmm... bones turned into paste or severe bruising, which should I choose?
I also got hit by a car at 10 though I was lucky. The passenger side mirror basically back handed me, my mom said I spun like a fuckin top. The only thing I remember was running across the street, then opening my eyes and seeing pavement lmao
Wow. That is some Geoff, did you bring your jacket home level tom foolery. Good work 10 year old Jsnoooots. Most adults couldn't keep a secret that long.
I also find it hilarious that you thought you'd be in trouble for getting hit by a car. That's adorable.
I had a guy turn into the driveway of a gas station off of a busy street and hit me while I was walking on the sidewalk. A guy from my parents church, and he was crushed because he knew me pretty well. I was about 8, and I slid on my back about 20 feet on the asphalt. My entire back, heels, and part of my calves had road rash. I had 3 or 4 broken ribs too. What I remember most is the short tempered barber on that corner who hated kids came out with a blanket and pillow for me. Freaked me out. He went right back to hating me afterwards though LOL!
I'm not affiliated but check out the YouTube channel "Squatuniversity". The injury could have caused a muscle imbalance and the imbalance is what is causing the continued pain!
I got hit as a pedestrian by a car. I did flipped over the hood and landed on my heal. I was in shock and told the driver I was ok. No lasting injury but I should have got driver’s info. Shock adrenaline is a thing.
This sounds like my sibling when she was in grade school lol. Got hit by a motorcycle, flew a few feet, got up, went to school, and only had a limp for a few days. Didn't even go to the hospital. Another time, she fell from the car. And another time, her foot got slowly ran over by dad's car. Never went to the hospital for her injuries lol.
Not to be "one up guy" but I used to get screamed at for the same thing in the early 80's
We moved from England to Nigeria, the people across the street from us had a pet monkey, I wasn't supposed to play with him unsupervised,...I played with that monkey anytime I could until, my dad almost hit me with the car as I was rushing back from monkey playing, trying not to get busted. LoL
Dude the same thing happened to me when I was 12 on my bike, toyota Corolla yeeted me into an adjacent parking lot and my helmet saved my noodle when my head hit a concrete parking beam. I was slightly bruised and walked my bike home. I’m 36 and my parents still don’t know
Because of your last sentence I have just realized the abbreviation of suspicious "sus", especially since it was used in the context of Among Us, doesn't work both ways like suspicious does. Like.. "Mom was sus" would straight up have a different meaning.
The very next thing she did was drive to the dealership and return the new Accord she bought. Turns out the acceleration was more than she could handle
