I've never broken anything, but I've got scars on my back after ending up on the wrong side of a ruck playing rugby. For those of you who don't know, in rugby when you tackle someone and they fall to the ground, they have to release the ball on the ground and you are meant to roll away so that the ball can come free to be picked up, the problem is you want to slow the ball down so that your teammates can come get it before his (so you cause a turnover). So I sort of lay on top of this guy for about 3 seconds trying to slow him down but he rolled away from me and released the ball right as about 3 of his forwards (guys weighing 110+ kg) all got there. Since I was caught on the wrong side of the ruck I was essentially treated as a piece of the ground, and the only way to get a ball from a ruck is by using your boots, so I got hammered by all these boots coming down on my back, head, and shoulders. All you can do is roll into a ball and cover your head. When I finally came out of there my jersey was shredded and I couldn't lie on my back for about 3 days.
