Years ago(ok, eons ago), my roommate at college was playing football in the snow and his girlfriend tackled him on an ice patch and broke his collarbone! Needless to say, it's a lot harder to party when you have all that hardware wrapped around your chest to protect your collarbone. I've sprained each ankle at least 20-30 times. I can stand on them sideways at a 90 degree angle now. Screw the crutches, just ride somebody's dog around campus!
