What is the worst injury you’ve sustained due to weather?

Mine was frostbite walking home from the library when I was 17.

[Puupi]

Frostbite on both of my inner thighs. Took years for the pain to go away completely, but they still sometimes start to ache if exposed to hot or cold.

[God Save The King]

I received bruises all over my body during a hail storm once. Thankfully I was close to the house so I was only hit a few times.

I have since moved away from places where hail occurs.

Went fishing one day & just wore thongs

Ended up with very Sunburnt feet..

My feet swelled up & could hardy walk for a few days.

In Aussie, they tell you to " slip-slop-slap" .

Slip on a shirt , slop on sunscreen , slap on a hat..... yeah I did all that.

However, I forgot my feet..

Only thing that's ever happened is I was going to fast down stairs at my apartment for a date and forgot about the freezing rain about an hour before and went down on my tailbone about..14 steps. Didn't really hurt me in the long run but about two days later I woke up and was like "god damn this is still really sore" and went to the mirror and my entire lower back was purple and black. Scared the shit out of me, not enough to go to the hospital though, mainly because I didn't have insurance.

Fucked my back up when i reached for my brakes on my bike and it kept going so i had to throw myself off otherwise i was going straight into busy traffic!

That was when i was a postman working in the UK and the whole ground was like a sheet of ice

[Daedius]

Sunburn I suppose...

[Tulune]

A twisted ankle slipping on a patch of ice. I hate winter.

[draynay]

Sunburn. What is this "weather" I keep hearing about?

[PACOX]

Walking pneumonia. When the weather goes from 85 to for 40 in a humid environment and back people develop nasty respiratory illnesses. Can't afford to time the week or two off for the illness to pass so they get worse.

Hit my head pretty damn hard when I was sliding around on a patch of ice in schoolyard and slipped. I couldn't get up for like 3 minutes, until our PE teacher came and yelled at me to get my ass up right now, at which point I kinda did. The guy had a pretty overwhelming presence. I'm made pretty sturdy, though, so I turned out I had no real injuries aside of a big-ass contusion on the back of my head. Could have been a lot worse, though. Luckily I wore a thick woolen cap.

[Zafire]

Any time I switch locations I get really messed up. My worst injury ever was just casually getting out of bed after doing nothing physical that day. My knee dislocated and I ended up needing surgery to remove a torn meniscus. It was my 9th day in Texas, and I lived in NY at the time.

I just recently moved to South Carolina. After I just got down here, my 4th day all my muscles in my arms and legs felt like they were torn even though I did nothing physical. Something weird happened to my thumb/wrist, too. The doctor said it's either carpel tunnel or tendonitis. Asked me if I wanted to see a specialist to identify the problem, I said no. Planning on doing something about it eventually, but lol 5k deductible.

[Harry Botter]

Broke my back and required 4 rods, straps and a bone graft just for a simple slip on ice.

[Kyphael]

Definitely sun burns. I had one last 4th of July on forehead, shoulders, chest, arms, and thighs. Was painful as hell for 2-3 days. I had to apply aloe constantly to not be in pain. Thankfully it was during my vacation. Wearing a dress shirt and dress pants and going to work would have sucked.

The peeling was fun though.

[Celista]

I got hypothermia once. Early stage so it wasn't too bad. Also have perma effects from frostbite in my fingers. Heat wise...sun burn, passed out from the heat once. My warm weather tolerance used to be really poor.

Last time I've been to a HOT country was way back in 2000, Malaysia, and it had heat waves with temperatures around 47C. Had to cut my holidays short... was horrible.

Will be going up this April for a few weeks, hope I can tolerate it! :V

Christ, 47C in Malaysia sounds rough! That humidity...have fun, carry a water bottle

[Masark]

Broken leg from slipping on ice.

[rogoth]

broke both an arm and leg when i was younger after slipping on ice near a busy road and landing wrong.

[avitush]

I hydroplaned in some heavy rain, lost control, and went off the road into a guardrail once. I felt the car start to slide around, but being 18 and not knowing any better, I went with my first instinct to hit the brakes, which is pretty much the worst thing you can do in that situation.

Injuries were only minor. I was doing about 60 and wearing my seat belt. I did face plant into the airbag. That gave me a black eye and broke my glasses (I found them in 3 pieces on the backseat after I got the car home later). I ended up going to a walk-in clinic to get checked out just because I was pretty shaken up, but they found nothing serious. The guardrail had a dent and a streak of red paint on it from my car (I still have a picture of it somewhere). Damage to the car was one busted headlight and a gouge torn across the front bumper.

There were a few other cars around me, and I managed to not hit any of them, so it could've been a lot worse. It's also a good thing the guardrail was there (it stopped me from going down a hill into some water).
