Mine is wild, it's still clear in my mind.

I was around 8 - 10 years old, biking in the forest with my cousin. There was this place where there were 3 slopes of various sizes and inclinations. The biggest one was for the big boys, and of course, at some point, we just decided to try it.

As I made my way down the slope, I remember realizing that I was maybe going a little too fast to properly control my trajectory. That's when a bump literally threw me off my bike. I was flying above the ground, and I could see the bike following me in it's unstoppable course without a rider.

A tree stop my desastrous adventure. My back hit the tree, folding me in two like a napkin. I remember thinking my spine was broken, it was intense. Then I fell on the ground.

10 seconds later, I was standing up and laughing with my cousin. My shin was bleeding, I still don't know why, but that was my only injury.

Later that night, I was thanking the Almighty God of Unbroken Bones.

What's your story ?

Please, comment on the thread to show people how strong, friendly and funny we all are ♥

This was one of my favorite subs and I'm so happy to see it over here in the Lemmy-verse!

Hello, unbroken family.

I'm glad to find a peaceful place to share our epic stories revolving around calcium and lactose.

I'm Stéphane, aka Tiritibambix. I'm French, that's maybe why you'll sometimes notice weird formulations and vocabulary in my posts. But hey, who cares about some typos when you're unable to break a single bone ?

I'm also a sound engineer, musician, photographer, and self-hosting enthusiast.

I drink around 11 gallons of milk a day. Not that I need them to be stronk-boned, but I know it pleases the Almighty God of Unbroken Bones.

I hope you'll have a good time with us.

Now, your turn :)

I left reddit a couple weeks back, when the API debacle was starting. I kept the sub private for a week as a protest, and reopened it for the last week to let people talk about what was happening, stating that I would be leaving reddit for good, thus, leaving my position as a mod.

People didn't really talk about it. I just had a comment saying that I was punishing subscribers to the sub. Not the conversation I was willing to have.

Of course, I'm not punishing anybody, as I am not responsible for the poor management choices reddit's CEO is making, killing his platform and its community. The fact that I have principles I want to stick to has also nothing to do with this community.

The thing is that the sub's owner and other mods haven't been moderating the sub and they did not come forward during the events, leaving me alone as the captain of the ship. I do really hope they'll show up at some point and do something with the sub.

In the meantime, I'm here, willing to go forward with the community. Tag along if you will.

Stay stronk, drenk melk.

Fellow Stronk-Boned people.

You might be here because you're coming from reddit. So, welcome back to this community :)

You might also be here because, well... you've never broken a bone ! Congratulations, you're in the right place to brag about it.

This is also the right place to make fun of brittle people.

Please, tell us the story of how your brother broke his arm while trying to hit you, how your child broke his/her leg open while trying to jump from a tree, or how your neighbor is looking at you while you're drinking your regular 5 gallons of milk at breakfast.

There are few rules, but please, be sure to read them, and also be sure to have fun !
