Worst Sports Injuries in History
 

Welp, seeing Kevin Ware go down on Sunday it brought me to think of some of the worst Sports injuries of all time.

Here's my #1 spot for worst injury(WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISH): Sliced his artery.

The throat being slit is AWFUL

did he live through that?

Oh man that throat slit makes me cringe.

I think he did. Ive seen it before

"Malarchuk's life was saved by the team's trainer, Jim Pizzutelli, a former Army medic who had served in Vietnam. He reached into Malarchuk's neck and pinched off the bleeding, not letting go until doctors arrived to begin suturing the wound. Still, Malarchuk came within minutes of becoming only the third fatality to result from an on-ice injury in NHL history after Howie Morenz (1937) and Bill Masterton (1968). It was estimated that if the skate had hit 1/8 inch (3 mm) higher on Malarchuk's carotid, he would have been dead within two minutes. It took doctors a total of 300 stitches to close the wound. It was also said that had the incident occurred at the other end of the ice, Malarchuk would have died - the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium had the locker room exits at one end of the ice instead of the location behind the benches, and he was at that end."

Wow, go army.

That also lead me to this one.

He did, but only because one of the trainers was a medic in (I think) Viet Nam, and reached in and used his fingers to pinch Malarchuk's artery closed. The same thing happened to Richard Zednik years later, and it was just as gruesome.

Edit: Damn, too slow.

Its hard for me to watch that kinda stuff... the powerlifter getting rolled over by the stone ball, the theismann snap, the recent college b-ball snap (decided i'm just not watching it), Nick Berg being chopped up right in front of me, syrian government forces being beheaded by rebels...

To me usually, some things are better left either imagined or endured with our own two eyes.

Theismann, LeGrand, Pronger getting hit in the chest vs. Detroit.
