Don’t really have any camera injuries to report… Well I did have this really cheap and nasty Jessops tripod once, only used it once
had it attached to back of camera bag, out walking with the springer, bend down to pick up tennis ball, tripod flies around and smacks
me in the face…. Proper black eye for a week!!Have seen a fair few sporting nasties, broken noses, dislocations, bad sprains etc, some of the worst were an open (the bone was
sticking out through the skin) fracture to a tibia (shin bone), the guy was playing indoor soccer, headed the ball, landed badly and
broke his shin. Was nasty!!And another indoor soccer one was when a guy headed the ball with the wrong part of his head and his teeth came out through
his lip… Nasty!!Broke my own tail bone twice, first time, crashed into another cyclist on the road when I was like 14 or something, then did it again
a couple of years ago, fell in the snow, well a very thin layer of snow with a great big rock under it!!! Ouch!!Stood on a fishing hook before as well, was swimming in a lake, put my foot down on top of it when I finished!
One of the most bizzare I have seen was, a kid and his dad in the pool, kid gets out, jumps in on top of dad, his teeth stick in dads
head, kid looses two teeth and the dad got three stitches!!That the kind of thing you were after?
God Sinead, you should have warned us before the Mourne outing – I would have beefed up my insurance! :)

i was right on the sideline of a hurling match. couple of players started running my direction so i thought it’d get a few shots off. i left it too long!
ended up with a few hurlers on me. its ok, the camera was fine! as for me nose was cut but my ego took the worst as there were a lot of people from my class right behind me, Ouch!i was shooting at an underage international last night .. player skidded straight into me …
