Nastiest Injury you've witnessed....

[Terrapins Fan]

I saw a college player go up to block a shot and hit his head on the backboard. It knocked him out and he fell to the floor limp. It was scary for the fans. But he was O.K. didn't play the rest of the game.

Also at a game I was refereeing, the cheerleaders were in the cornor practicing and I looked at them and thought, " That is just an accident waiting to happen" I turned away when they tossed the girl into the air....they didn't catch her...It was terrible, but again she was o.k.

Reading thru the other posts kept reminding me of several injuries I've witnessed. Deciding which is worst would be tough but I know my injury was the most painful to me.

1. The time the cheerleader flyer (the one they throw) did not get caught and I saw her head bounce off the floor during a timeout.

2. The time I was in the lead and had a 1 on 1 post matchup. A1 ducked left as B! brought his hand up to bat the ball away. He stuck his thumb in the corner of A1's eye socket up to the first knuckle. That one made my eyes hurt and still does.

3. Early November 2005, I was coaching my son's team and we were running a play. Someone's little brother was on the sideline and let a ball roll out onto the court. I jumped over it, lost my balance and went into the brick wall which was pretty close to the baseline. I stuck my hands up to catch myself and ended up breaking the radial head in both elbows. I'm still dealing with that one although it only caused me to miss 1 assignment in the 2 years.
