      Hi
      When I was about 15 I broke my arm doing gymnastics and I had to have an operation to put metal plates in to fix it (they’re still there now!) but it was scary because I nearly passed out in the ambulance from the shock and because they tried to pull my arm back into shape before they realised they had to operate! Luckily though they did the operation really quickly and I’m still doing gymnastics now 🙂

      Hi Hanbanan,

      Hmm i would probably say it was when I was hit by a car when I was 17… I remember lying on the ground, not knowing what had happened or if i was ok… I would later make a complete recovery (with a titanium implant in my arm), but for that moment i didn’t know if i was going to die, or if I would be paralysed or worse… I learn’t more about myself and life in that brief moment than in an entire lifetime! The only thing that mattered to me was being able to make a full recovery… and luckily I did! 🙂

      So next time you go to cross the road, and think you can make that gap, don’t risk it!

      Steve
