I guess if you call Jet Sking a sporting event then yes I have..

Was going ~50mph on an Yamaha GP1300R when this boat out of no where cut me off.. Didn't even look before pulling out.

Next thing I know I hit the wave right behind him soaring through the air and I fall off.. Skidding across the water like it's cement.

Concussion :blush:

I used to do downhill and street riding on mountain bike. One day I misjudged a jump and overshot the landing about about 3 metres. I landed heavily and my face hit the ground which had lots of flint sticking out of it. My face unfortunatley landed on one sharp piece which cut right through my lips, from my nose right down to my chin. That hurt. A lot. My mum fainted when she saw it! lol

I guess I was lucky though, my mate did the same jump a few years later and ended up smashing two vertebrae in his neck and almost cutting his jugular vein.

It was shortly after that I gave up riding.

I did run into a car when I was biking. No injuries ...thank goodness it was..erm...parked. :laugh: Word to the wise...never take your eyes off the road...

Too bad you learned that 30 years late eh Boog. :p

I have been quite fortunate. Just broke my nose in the winter playing foot hockey at school. The damn ball was froze and I got it in the beak. :rolleyes:

While playing street basketball with some friends, I was hit by a garbage truck. Broke both pelvis bones and my right femur bone (the largest bone in your body). I was airlifted to the hospital... spent about 4 months in the hospital, 6 months in a body cast, then a few months on crutches. The friggin garbage truck literally ran over my legs, leaving my right leg completely covered with brown scars. I had to get a few skin grafts where they cut the skin from my left leg and put it on my right leg because scar tissue doesn't grow.

Anyways, a while after that I broke my femur bone again while playing school baseball. My doctor said the bone was fine, but the muscle was abnormally strong in one area because the truck accident altered my muscle structure. Spent 2 weeks in the hospital, 2 months in a body cast, and 2 months on crutches that time. Now I refuse to play sports, although I still can run the mile in about 8 mins.

Broken thumb, dislocated shoulder playing baseball. Concussion, broken almost all fingers, torn ligament in my wrist, a few shattered bones in my foot, pinched nerve in my neck and countless bruises and other typical injuries playing hockey. I think the concussion was the only one that kept me from playing the next shift after getting hurt. But I am not missing any teeth, I always wear a cage.

broke my nose, ripped all the tendons in my pinkie on my right hand, fractured 4 fingers and 1 toe, dislocated my right thumb several times, torn cartilage in my right shoulder, strained ligaments in my right knee and both ankles....

...all from volleyball, if anyone tries to say volleball isn't a real sport, i'd invite them to play it 11 months a year at the national level. :ninja:

Just because you get hurt doing something, does not make it a sport. The fact that you defended yourself right away shows doubt, lol. Because volleyball is not a hard sport to pick up, I played it for my high school, which routinley a top 3 in CIF every year. To many people on the court at once, when two people are playing, that is impressive.

Volleyball's awesome! That reminds me...I shattered my pinky playing Volleyball in college...

Twisted ankle a few times. Some worse than others. Broke a toe playing sand football. Tore the muscle on the upper-back part of my leg. It's been almost 10 years since that happened, so I forget the name. Did it running track. Got knocked out playing football in high school...just for a couple seconds though. You really do see stars though :) I think that's about it. So nothing too bad.

    • Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.
    • Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
