I have never had a major road accident.
Once, I was hot by a motor bike, when I was a pedestrian. It caused a nasty graze, that took twelve months to heal.
Also, once, on a major highway up north, I hit a large sheep. The sheep was killed, as I was travelling at 110kph.
It wrote off my car engine too. I wasn't injured.

When I was 11 years old...I got thrown from a horse and broke my right arm....my mother was not one to rush us to the doctor for every little thing...she had my Grandpa look at it...he said it was fine...so they did not take me to the doctor until the next morning when my arm had swollen up to three times it's normal size....fortunately it healed without any problems...LOL

My first and only attempt to ride my friends motorbike was a mistake! There simply wasn't enough open space and i ended up smashing my face into a truck mirror! LOL! I only got some stitches and a bit dizzy, but i had a good laugh later. While i was lying on the ground, my friend couldn't decide who to help! He kept saying; my bike, bud you ok? my bike, bud you ok! It was pretty funny!
Take care Ranjeetkolarkar.

I broke my arm by mistake accident.
I could mention my leg/ knee cap but that was done on purpose by two jealous people and no matter what they said or anyone else I know it wasn't.

You didn't say what kind of accidents. I have never broken a major bone so I would consider that a pretty major accident.
I've had 2 cars totaled, but walked away. I did receive a head injury in the first, when I turned a car over on the freeway. I have also been in other accidents where I got no injuries, tho the cars were in bad shape.
I've done more breaks of things in falls, being stepped on by a horse or bumping into things. Well, bump sound mild when I mean I rammed my toe into something (more than once) and broken the poor thing!

I have had many in my childhood years. A bike ran over to me and I had stiches on my head for that. Also my playmate dropped me off the floor. Also when I was driving my motor bike, I have had this accident and I have a big scar on my arm.

I have had plenty, a couple that come to mind are, we were in a paddock being silly and ended up rlling the car, I smashed my head against the window, but I was ok and another I was driving to work and someone smashed into the back of me. My car was ok but the other car had no front end.

My latest accident occurred a couple of months ago, when I decided to go tripping down my back steps....literally! I had twisted my ankle on the step right outside the back door, and from there I ended up going down on my right knee and then bouncing down the steps. I ended up breaking my kneecap, but I'm stubborn and I never went to the doctor. I did mention it to him, but he knew better than to try to get me to go get xrays and get it casted....he just shook his head at me, lectured me for a minute or so, and then it was over with. I've also been in a minor vehicle accident with our truck, where a lady pulled away from the curb at the school without looking to see if anyone was coming, and the fender of her van ended up locked up UNDER the fender of my truck. Neither of us was hurt, but my truck had to go in to the repair shop to straighten out the whole front end because it ended up twisting up on one side. I'm just glad it happened in the truck and not my little car. I would have ended up hurt for sure.

I've had my license for 3 years and I've never had an accident. I hope that i never do have an accident and always take care on the road. The only thing that's ever happened to me is i broke my arm. but that was because my next door neighbour pushed me off the fence while I was wearing roller skates. B@stard, I couldn't go to the Year 5 camp because of that.

Yes, several minor ones, but I would think that a leg fracture would be a major accident!
I was a kid with my grandparents, one accident was a motorcyclist hit their driver side car. I was in the back seat and I was okay. Second, was some guy hit them in the back of their car.
Both times they took my grandma to the hospital, and she was okay, but she had a strained neck with the first accident. Other than that, nothing serious. Pray to the Lord ;).

Yes about 15 years ago I was walking in downtown Portland. I stepped off the side walk and fell flat on my face. I broke my nose and my little finger. There was blood everywhere. The paramedics came and at least got the bleeding to stop. I went to the hospital and they fixed me up and off I went. A bandaged nose and splint on my little finger.

I was using both a car and a motorbike since I was 20. Over the last 30 years I have had 2 minor accidents on the motorbike and two minor ones in the car. I had to tend to the victims and their minor injuries after taking them to the hospital.

It was New Year's day 1974. It had been an incredibly hot stifling day with record breaking temperatures. My husband and I and our 2 daughters, 3 and 2 had spent the day with his family. The boys went off to play golf while the kids all played in the pool and we women sat inside in aircoditioned comfort or out in the shade near the pool.
It was about 8:30pm when we set out for home, all very weary and ready for bed. My 3 yr old was lying on the back seat asleep, my 2 yr old, who had tonsilitus was asleep on the front seat with her head in my lap.
We had watched the cars headlights approaching for some distance as the road was staight and long. It hadn't registered. We slowed down as we approached a red light and my husband accelerated as it turned green. And there it was. Ther drunken driver had been travelling all that way on the wrong side of the road. My husband swerved to the right and the other driver SWERVED TO THE LEFT! We collided front ends on diagonally on my side, the impact throwing my daughter in the back up against the back of the front seat and my little one to the dashboard where she dropped to the floor as the motor came through. My seatbealt caught and the buckle tore a hole in my hip, while the strap broke my sternum and collar bone. My husband mangled the steering wheel as he had braced himself by holding tightly. I had tucked my arm instinctively round my little one to protect her but as the impact threw her my wrist hit the dashboard and broke some bones.
The ambulance arrived while I was wondering why I couldn't breathe. They couldn't get my door open but my husband wrenched it open. I passed out, thinking I was dying. I came to as they loaded me into the ambulance and they let my husband and elder daughter travel with me and put my younger daughter in the front with the paramedic, I drifted in and out of consciousness. It was about an hour later when my younger daughter was curled into a tight ball and turning yellow that my father-in-law called a doctor to her side. She was rushed to intensive care from casualty and it was there they ascertained that her spleen was ruptured.
An ambulance was summoned and she was rushed to the children's hospital where her surgeon was waiting for her. She lost her spleen. I found out later that they lost her twice enroute to the hospital.

I fell off my bike when I was 10 and broke my left arm. It wasn't a very bad break, and since I am right-handed, it was mostly an inconvienience for me (but rather traumatic for my mother! ;-))
I have also been in a minor car accident; someone changed lanes without looking and hit the side of my car. Luckily, no one was hurt at all, just some body damage to the two cars.

I broke my arm when I was 9 - I was rollerskating down a very steep hill just seeing how fast I could go.
I also was in a car accident - avoided another accident that had just happened and rolled my car all the way over. Car was totalled but Praise the Lord - I walked away, sore and shaken but no major damage. I was thankfully wearing my seatbelt or it would have been different.

I had an accident before when i was just 7 years old. I was grade one then,when i met an accident on the road. I was hit by a tricycle when i was passing down the pedestrian lane going to school. I just thanks God that its not really that bad that i never had any fractured. When i was in my second year highschool when i used to stay in a dormitory,it was weekend then when one of my friends asked me to sleep with me on a double deck and really didn't expected that i was fallen down from a second deck. It was really that bad when i got a terrible sick because of that incidence.
