No broken bones, but I've got 2 tweaked shoulders that I've done numerous diggers on and they swell up and hurt like hell for a week. Concussion after I cased a triple while racing. landed hard enough I drove my chin into the bars and blew it open. Also caught a rock in the middle of a trail and sprained my thumb bad.

I got ran over by a buddy while I was walking to my sled. He hit me in the back going over 60 mph, I never knew what hit me. The only thing I saw was the head light shining through my goggles as my helmet hit his hood. My head broke his bumper, belly pan, hood, spark plugs, and crack the head on the motor before my helmet was ripped off from the force. The strap on the helmet caught my upper lip and ripped it about 1 1/2" up under my nose on the inside of my mouth. It broke my leg, shattered my ankle, blew out my other knee, messed up my back some.
After some friends gathered me up and made sure I wasn't dead I drug my self onto my sled and rode out. For some reason my friends, without me recovered the guys sled that hit me the next day.
This is the kicker to my story, we had been riding as always with alcohol. After a beer stop, this guy was so drunk he couldn't even stand up little lone ride a snowmobile. Knowing he was drunk a friend of mine and I strapped on his gloves, zipped up his coat, done up his helmet, sat him on his sled, and started it for him, I remember telling him "just take it easy you will be ok".
What a dumb a$$ I was. Do you know to this day that guy still don't think he ran over me.
I no longer deal with drinking and riding, its just not worth it. I would have been just as well to shoot my self as to start that sled. I was just thankful he ran over me instead of some one else. After all I loaded the gun!

Only one bad one worth talking about. Was ditch banging last winter and came out of a ditch, looked like any normal ditch so I got on her pretty good to get the skis up, and the track locked into the snow and shot the sled straight up on one back corner of the track, I fall off and the sled fell over on it's side onto me. The running board landed on my calf, bent the running board out of wack nicely. Went home, then it started to hurt, calf got swollen up 3 times it's normal size. But had I been laying on back it would have hit my shin and most likely broken my leg.
Broke my collar bone 2 years ago in Yellowstone. We were riding the trail and I came to exit a corner and some idiot was stopped right in the middle. I locked up the breaks and the track kicked out sideways. I slid like that for a little ways then the side of the track cuaght a launched me. The sled barrel rolled twice straight up and I was thrown about 20ft down trail. I landed on my left shoulder breaking the collar bone into 3 peices. Imagine a broken broom handle, thats what the xrays looked like. Put a whole new meaning to the term "Spring Break"

Should have just center punched the guy
stupidity should be painful. I carry full coverage and wont have any problems center punching an idiot who stops on the trail. too bad dude 
Broke my foot/ankle in 4 places and the fibula in my lower leg February 6th this spring.Had a plate 4 screws and 2 pins put in a couple days later.6 weeks in a hard cast than 4 in a walking cast/ boot.Still going to physical therapy 3 times a week,Doctor told me I should make an almost full recovery.Been back on the leg breaker a couple times this spring but not riding very aggressively yet.
Tore the tendons that control finger movement in my left wrist in November of 01 by running my hand thru the track after getting bucked,had surgery and pins inserted.13 weeks in a cast,it works OK now.I've also aggravated an old skiing injury to my shoulder(had to get steroid shot)as well.
Injuries happen,it's only a matter of time before your luck runs out

Fell in someones stuck hole going down a steepass hill and endoed about 5 years ago. Sled flipped over and swatted me in theass right below my tekvest and kind of bent me in half backwards a bit. Caused a Pars fracture of L5 that STILL hasn't healed and I am having a lot of trouble with now. Launched one straight in the air a couple of years ago and the left rear corner of the tunnel landed right on my left big toe right before the sled rolled. DAMN THAT HURT! Also landed a small cornice drop back on 2000 and dislocated both shoulders at the same time. I've sprained my thumbs numerous times hitting stuff and sled comes to a stop and I don't.
Surprised Rock Star hasn't posted to this thread yet! He is probably still trying to remember them all
As for me, Broke my leg thanks to a faulty lefty throttle a few years ago and then 2 years ago 30 some stitches in my left forearm from being impaled on my break lever. It could have been worse the sled rolled over on me a couple of times and when everything was done I stood up and started checking things out. Shoulder hurt pretty bad but I could move it Ok. Both legs were tore up pretty good but no blood running into my boots, so they were OK. Both hands hurt like a mother. The top of the right mechanics glove was ripped off along with most of my skin but I could move my hand OK. Then I look at my left hand, I start counting fingers, and twice I count a thumb and only THREE fingers! At this point I am feeling a little week and think about sitting down. I look at where my pinky is supposed to be and there is nothing! just a hole at the base of my glove where the pinky is supposed to be. As I am looking in the whole in my glove at what appears to be bloody meet I remember thinking to myself, at least it is only my pinky, I will still be able to do everything I could do when I still had two pinky's. After a while I realize my ring finger feels funny too, so I decide I had better take my glove off and take a look. As I am pulling off the glove I realize there were two! fingers in my ring finger hole. when the track ripped off the pinky finger of the glove my pinky ended up in my ring finger hole!!!! So, there I am on the side of the mountain, wrecked sled at my side doing a jig thankful for still having 10 digits! It wasn't until I got back down to the bottom of the hill and one of my buddies is checking me out did we realize I had a huge hole in my forearm. Off to the ER I went.

Two years ago, snowmobiling about mid day, sun was in my eyes, clipping along pretty fast across a field. Came up to the river and flew off the bank, dropped about 25-30 feet and flew out around 60 feet and landed on the hard ice... Four fractures in my heel and 9 stitches in my lip after i bit through it, on crutches for 3 1/2 months... Not a good deal... Hurts all the time to walk, I would suggest it to anyone...
