Broken Wrists

[Kashike]

Hey, I'm doing a project in school which requires me to find out the most common ways to break a wrist.
If any of you have broken your wrist, please post how.

 

[Gimgak]

Snowboarding is an easy way

 

[Justin M]

Ice skating. That's how I broke mine.

 

[Watch Me Sink]

Being drunk is an easy way. Or drumming.

Skateboarding is a easy way to break your wrists.

Anything involving sports. Basketball is one example, as in shooting, you flex your wrist, you can get your wrist hit by a guard, etc. Players also fall and land on their wrist in basketball, and either just sprain it or break it.

Biking, gymnastics and probably running. I broke my wrist by running and my arm by biking.

Everything mentioned above, plus falling? I don't know, never broke my wrist, but sports are a definite.

 

[The Visitors]

Boxing will do it too. So will Kung Fu.

Lots of personal hand to hand contact that way.

How about using a brick?

 

[Joshua Farrell]

Falling while running backwards will most likely break the wrist you land on.

 

[Deleted member 1609]

Even falling forward can cause some damage to your wrist if you try to catch yourself.

 

[Zenrer]

Gymnastics could be a possibility, maybe even martial arts?

 

[David]

Weights and pretty much anything in the gym. Even the treadmill could prove fatal.

if you fall while roller skating

Goalkeeping in soccer

Kino if there was a like button I would agree. When I was a goal keeper my wrists got broke as a ball swerved for my face and I used my hands to defend myself, also my friends brothers broke his wrists by defending his self from a ball during a football tournament in France.

I broke my wrist 4 times on Monkey Bars. I fell and tried catching myself on the ground.

I broke my wrist when running and the concrete had a step down. I landed on my hand.

Yeah I've had some close calls while being back in goal. Only sprains and bruises though. Got lucky 😛
