Does a near miss count? Was playing juniors a few years back, went for a smash, and my racquet (which had had a fairly hard life, I must admit) snapped in half, flew over the net, missed my opponent's ear by about 6 inches, and shattered against the back wall. I've never seen an asian go quite that pale before, or since.
Worst injuries! Between the years 15-19, i would sustain pulled ligaments/slight dislocations of my left knee approx 7-9 times due to mainly to badminton and once or twice cuz of martial arts. When i came over to vancouver, at age 18, i sustained the left knee injury a couple more times from bball and badminton and twice as well on the right knee.. However only 3 years ago, i sustained a right knee cap dislocation injury which laid me off badminton for 2 years. Yes, i reaaaaaaaaally hate injuries :| .. so that's my story and i'm sticking to it! cheers! p.s i'm a pretty dark fella, and that right knee dislocation, made me about as pale as a ghost.. not pretty i tell ya
torn acl just 3wks ago and i still can't walk properly up to now. hope i can get back to playing without an operation.
when i was 9 i split my forehead open on the net post. looking back on that one it was actually quite funny. had a trip to the hospital. loved it also i had a trapped nerve in my neck when i turned to make a shot. that was worse. wore a collor for weeks
Your worst injury in badminton? What was your worst injury done in badminton? I had a few sprained ankle here and there. Some others is their knees and shins. My girlfriend is her lower back. Any others?
I had several sprained ankles, torn knee ligament, dislocated knee and the worst would be when I totally ruptured my left achilles tendon :crying: ouch! that was really the worst injury I ever experienced. It was during a tournament I was playing doubles, I was out of playing badminton for 1.5 years, missed badminton terribly . But now I am back and even better than before I had my worst injury. Lesson learned from all those injuries - ensure enough warming up, stretching exercises etc. before start to play your game (no matter how eager you are to hit the shuttle) which can help avoid those injuries.
I got arthritis in my wrist in about August 2007 about a month before i turned 13. Since then I haven't been able to play badminton or any other sport which involve using the hands. Fortunately the steroids the doctors injected have really been working and i can now use my hand. I have been going to physio therapy for a couple of weeks now. I may even be able to play in a few months time.
I get a random shoulder pain occasionally, had to see the physio about it. After a long period of playing I do a smash like normal and a shooting pain would go down my arm - blardy killed! then i would have continious strong ache in my shoulder for a couple days. Tried to continue playing first time it happened - not a good idea! But after doing exercises my physio gave me i havn't had any trouble - just need to balance badminton with the gym! Anyway Thats my worst injury - be it tempoary and not very interesting!
i dislocated my knee so bad it did a 180 degree turn.... yeah it was behind my leg i pop'd it back in myself
Do you guys who are get severely injured all play competitively or something? Cause you make badminton sound extremely dangerous. I've never had anything worse than a rolled ankle and I don't see myself as a backyard player at all... What on earth are you guys doing when you're playing? Playing on rollerblades? =S I'm scared to play now...
If you have proper trainings and do the right things i.e. warm up/down, follow instructions and dun play stunts, you should be fine
this happened to one of the guys we play doubles with on a 'social' level. one week his doubles partner told him off for not moving his feet or running for shots. the next week he ran so fast for a shot, tripped over his feet and headbutted the concrete wall at the side of the court. I was laughing so hard i failed to notice that he was actually unconscious. we spent the evening with him in the A&E department and he is returning to play next week after c8 weeks out.
