Yeah, I snapped my collar bone on a bike when I was a kid. It was
strange, since I was out riding with my friend at the time. I crashed
into a parked car. Then I had no choice but to walk my bike back to my
house, a couple blocks away. My friend went with me and I even
remember us laughing on the way back like kids do. I went home, went
to bed, and went to the hospital the next day.
Of course, I had a lot of broken bones growing up - ten. I was always
in the wrong place at the wrong time.
