http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4025679232319272464 - chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13The ice hockey one is the worst.
- MikeFromAmerica, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18I believe this is the all-time worst sports injury in American history:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKV_nhTLtc8 - profOblivion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12I'm grossed out and I haven't even watched any of the videos.
- Fire4Effect, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Theismann is still making the public pay for that injury by delivering horrible football commentary....
- pirategaspard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8carpal tunnel: it ain't so gruesome, but it can be debilitating
- klaviernista, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Having worked as an EMT myself, I think the worst MVA's aren;t the deaths, but the one's where someone's face goes through a windshield. I can deal with dead people. Living people screaming like crazy and bleeding like you wouldn't beleive is another thing.
- tizz66, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Wrong place, digg me down.
- LACHRYMIST, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Sabres goalie Clint Malarchuk - The notable incident occurred during a game on March 22, 1989 between the visiting St. Louis Blues and Malarchuk's Buffalo Sabres. Steve Tuttle of the Blues and Uwe Krupp of the Sabres collided at the mouth of the goal, and Tuttle's skate caught Malarchuk on the neck, slicing open his external carotid artery. With pools of blood collecting on the ice, Malarchuk somehow left the ice under his own power with the assistance of his team's trainer, Jim Pizzutelli. Many spectators were physically sickened by the sight with seven fainting and two suffering heart attacks while two teammates vomited on the ice.
damn - tizz66, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Not sure I'd necessarily call this a 'sporting injury' but I'm sure it hurt, and it's funny too: http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p209/CanucksRealist/hit.gif
- Wonkanobi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8This one's great (short and in slow-mo):
http://youtube.com/watch?v=wPIOt3uoRJ8 - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10You, sir, are a DB (doucebag for you civilians).
- cjbowser, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Don Beebe compressing his spinal column is one that's always given me shivers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu0ihzhCkkk
- tizz66, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Same. I've watched some pretty gruesome stuff before, but I just can't bring myself to watch someones leg get smashed up.
- ilselu1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5To add to that,
"Amazingly, he returned to practice 4 days later. And a week after that, he was back between the pipes against the Quebec Nordiques. "Doctors told me to take the rest of the year off, but there was no way," Malarchuk says. "The longer you wait, the harder it's going to be. I play for keeps"
Malarchuk spent only one night in the hospital, and was back on the ice with his team two weeks later."
- from wikipedia - catalysis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5That and 100mph slapshots to the throat.
- commiecat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Amen. I'm glad he's being replaced by Jaws now - I think Kornheiser & Jaws will make a great MNF team.
That said - his injury was pretty nasty. IMHO, all the broken leg injuries were the most painful to watch (Sid Vicious, Theismann, Prothro). I can deal with cut arteries, baseballs bouncing off a face and torn ligaments. Seeing a foot flopping around independent from the rest of the leg just makes my stomach churn. - mrbenns, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Football (Soccer) players get injured too :)
David Busst: http://www.jsasoccer.com/images/DavidBusst.jpg (worst I have ever seen)

Henrik Larsson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyL2hhGSsBc (forgive the idiotic Rangers fan who posted the clip) - antoniojvr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Man, after reading each description I could not bring myself to click on the links. Damn.
- Fraize, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I'll never forget watching that game, and the commentary on the news afterwards. They had an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports injuries on camera. He had a skeletal leg in studio, and held it up on the news desk in approximately the position Joe's leg was in. Then, with no warning, he karate-chopped the leg, snapping it with a loud crack, live on TV. You could hear the anchor-woman mutter, "ohmygod..." in the background. It was great!
- freefm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Animated gifs remind me of 1998... how the internet was different then.
- andykee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3it appears to me that you seem to be part some sort of medical response team, either an emt, fire/rescue, or a cop.
unless the army started responding to traffic accidents, i believe that you are a civilian as well - eggloaf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Clint Malarchuk is the only goalie who would have his throat slit during a game and be playing again two weeks later.
I say that because Chuck Norris is not a goalie. - murphykp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Here' a different link to the Mary Pierce video. It doesn't seem to be working in the article. http://youtube.com/watch?v=vOUBQ-rn1Sk
Her injury doesn't look as bad as some of the others, but her video is memorable for the scream. - papavb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3is this list international? there are a lot of horrid soccer injuries too, like this one with djibril cisse http://youtube.com/watch?v=mt92nLpKJNA
- VeryAngryJim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Jasper,
Haven't there been many cases of this happening? I recall seeing that in a different video from a different angle in a 4-sided ring with one black fighter.
Anyone know if this is common in kickboxing? - arkowi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3comment changer.
- thinkindiff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4without a doubt, the worst sports injury clip is napoleon mccallum. his knee bends backwards...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xVchNFaUiVc - klaviernista, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Malarchuk's injury was gruesome. I can still remember seeing it for the first time n George Michael Sports Machine. It is the reason goalies all wear throat guards today.
- Amusing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The one guy that broke his ankle playing Slamball still turns my stomach. I'll include the link to the clip, but this shows it after it happened, but when I saw it I saw it originally I saw the guy go down.
http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2475144 - osfn8, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Goatse-esque link alert!
- fatfinger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2To bad the list doesn't include motorcycle racing. Troy Bayliss lost his little finger over the weekend in a crash.

This is on the light end of the spectrum in motorsports. - redsox32, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2how about the paralysis Darrel Stingly suffers from Jack Tatum?
- SnuKs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Anyone got a video of Jason Kendall's dislocated ankle? That was one of the grumesome injuries i've seen since his bone started to pop outta the skin. YIKES>
- Aliarse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Was hoping for something new, but I've seen all of those already.
Heres a good old one that i like. Legs are NOT supposed to bend that way. - http://www.buzzhumor.com/videos/2095/Skater_Leg_Break - CedEx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@veryangryjim
Bones snapping typically happen to large heavyweights, and those guys who are on steroids (steroids weakens bone mass). So those combinations, being a big guy and weak bones tend to add up to a higher risk of snapping a long bone.
That being said, I've only seen this a couple of times, so I guess it's not that common. - kyn2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2David Bussts injury against manchester united beats all of them...
http://www.jsasoccer.com/images/DavidBusst.jpg - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i like the commentary on the last clip "That is a serious knee injury..." no *****?
also, i recall a clip from kick boxing match where this dude kicks his opponent in the shin and snaps his own shin in half. that was brutal.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqItNfdC8g4
also the clip of tank abott hitting some dude in the face and breaking his neck. the guy gets hit and then just goes limp and collapses, good clip.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqEDX_jVdcQ - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Shaun Livingston's knee dislocation should have taken a spot.
http://news.yahoo.com/photo/070309/photos_sp_afp/374c42194af32b1ef895ecda04fa0dcb - jasonsalas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Napolean Kaufman with the Raiders and Tim Krumrie with the Bengals were the worst I've ever seen live.
- ManHammer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1gruesome yet entertaining - dugg
- SkippyDoorknob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Then don't watch any of them. Trust me.
- fuzzboxer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I was there for the Tyrone Prothro injury. I didn't see the extent of the injury until I got home and watched SportsCenter. It took a good 20 minutes to get him securely off the field. For a few months, he was in the hospital because of infections.
A year later I saw him and his injured leg is half the size of his other leg. - zetamilk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1These videos made me realize that i can handle seeing blood just fine but not limbs bending where they're not supposed to.
- macbookpromat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've dislocated both knees playing sports, and I can tell you I reacted the same way the first time it happened, not because of the pain, but the surprise effect it had. But then again I discovered that my knees are like my elbows, shoulders, wrists, and ankles in the fact that they all can dislocate with little or no pain.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Junior Seau's broken arm:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd58vik7POU
Video's not the best (someone pointed a cam at a TV), but you can still see it fairly well because the game's camera guys just stayed on the arm flopping around and didn't cut away. - BooChihuahua, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I thought for sure he was going to add Borje Salming, defenseman of the Toronto Maple Leafs. He fell down in front of the net and another player stepped on his face with his skate! He had around 250 stitches down his entire face. You saw his skate step down on his face. Tons of blood and pictures latter on of the stiches on his face.
- ostermei, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@eatupmartha:
There's no gore aside from text descriptions. The YouTube videos are just linked as text (as opposed to embedded). - MackenzieArbour, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1*****, I hope that last guy was okay.
- roberto_deneero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Good list. I am never leaving the sofa ever again.
