Never broken a major bone.
I've stubbed my toes many times, and who hasn't had a chair yanked out from under them... that usually results in a broken coccyx.
Still, to my knowledge, I've never broken anything of consequence.

I just don't get it....
In my case I didn't break them, but should have. When I was 4 (that was a very bad year for me ) I was reaching into the crack at the front of the car door and my father slammed it closed on my hand. It tore the skin off 4 knuckles and likely would have broken all the fingers, if it hadn't been such a hoopdie with a door that wasn't hung right.

HJC.. don't remember the model. The kicker is I had an Arai on order at CycleGear (I wanted a particular design that was on backorder). After the accident, I cancelled that order and bought a black Arai Corsair.

I broke fingers and knuckles mostly in fights. Punched people I shouldn't have, or objects I shouldn't have, that sort of thing. I was also an aircraft mechanic and broke fingers and toes handling heavy equipment and cargo. Steel/safety toe boots only do so much, folks.

OK, here goes:

I have broken a couple fingers on my right. Along with cracks in the bones in my wrist, and the "long bone" in the hand for my pointer finger cracked AND bent, if you look at it now you can see it's got an arc in it. I hit someone, once, hard.

Broken middle finger on my left hand, a gust of wind slammed a solid wood security door onto my hand and broke the finger. It destroyed the growth plate for my finger, so now my middle fingernail on my left hand is about twice as thick as a normal fingernail.

Busted my left knee in a lowside in '03, I think it cracked my kneecap, but it definitely tore some shit up. Screwed up my back too, and now it pops when I move around.

Broke two ribs in a highside in '05. Picked my bike back up and rode home, then went on to take a two-week Divemaster training course about a week later. Ribs are still slightly deformed.

I put a hairline fracture into my upper jaw when I was about five, chasing my brother, tripped, and caught the edge of a coffee table with my upper lip, above my teeth but below my nose. Literally split my lip in two, took sixteen stitches to put it back together, and I still have a scar on my lip and under my nose from it. It's why I don't grow a mustache, no hair grows on the scar and it looks weird.

Get a real bike with some power and you might not need to do that.
