tomaspg Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 There was a couple of crashes in rally class-b where quite a few spectators died. The -86 Portugal crash comes to mind, cars that were too fast and spectators standing in the middle of the road rarely mix! Dying from a sport injury when youre not even parttaking must be the biggest bitch. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mHDIhqTOrS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm pretty sure Ayrton Senna's injury was worse than anything posted in this thread so far. Yep, but he died, and if we include those, the list in motor-sports is endless. Boxing too. There are fighters who have died in the ring and fighters who have been left with severe brain damage. I get the point of this thread but the question really should be what is the most icky sports injury ever, it's asking for something which is horrible to look at rather than what is actually a bad injury. Because we are being ghoulish, Gatti vs Gamache from about 2000. Gamache never fought again after that. He nearly died on the night of the fight and suffered some permanent brain damage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnski Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Technically sports entertainment but still worthy of this thread I reckon. Saw him wrestle in Dublin when I was a kid and some old dude about 60 was screaming abuse at him and Sid Vicious turned around and hocked a golly on his bald head, was pure green haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnbull Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 The worst injury I ever witnessed live was at Birmingham Speedway at Bordesley Green in 1985. 2 riders clashed as they were crossing the start/finish line, possibly the point in a race when they're going quickest, with the result that one of them, a guy named Joey Owen, ended up flying about 10 feet up and the air, landing on his back. He lay motionless for what seemed like ages, we all thought the worst. He survived but unfortunately has never walked again. Poor sod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'll never forget seeing this live as a 14 year old. 2-0 down at the time, and we were calling for the game to be abandoned! Glad it wan't we ended up winning 3-2! Couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of all the kids watching, thinking Santa had died in a parachute accident!

Not sure who's introduction changed the game more, Collymore or falling Santa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Didn't the guy lose his leg eventually? He did, but he also fell in love with and married a nurse on his ward so he probably considers it a fair swap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because his wife has 3 so it evens out you see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'll never forget seeing this live as a 14 year old. I was at the game. Was in the bar when the guy did that so I missed it completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted August 4, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2014 This story happened in a College of Surgeons Rugby game. Story goes like this, in the course of the game a guy is unfortunate enough to dislocate his leg. He is screaming in agony. The pitch is full of trainee medics and they realise this fairly fast. They call an ambulance but also realise the quickest way to put the guy out of his agony is to push the femur back into the hip joint. They go ahead and do this. Unfortunately the screaming intensifies as a result, the poor guy has gone from occasional moans of agony to squealing like a pig getting slaughtered. Within a few minutes he has passed out from the pain. The reason? When they pushed his femur back into his hip socket, they managed to catch & snag one of his testicles along the way and ram it into the ball of the hip joint ahead of the femur they were trying to re-locate. When the bone snapped back into place the testicle was squashed immediately because of the strength of the ligament and tendons attaching the leg to the pelvic girdle. The guy lost his testicle and ruptured his vocal cords screaming in agony. Did anyone else find this hilarious, or am I just wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mere thought is tormenting me and I consider myself very strong stomached. I would like to request that if you ever see me with a dislocated hip, then please just leave it dislocated.
