was hanging out with friends getting some drinks, we decided to walk through our old campus.

there was a roof I always used to climb up while in college to chill on, so I did that.

after finished, while hopped up on liquid courage, I decided to jump down.

did so and shattered my heel.

spent the entire summer immobile and required a surgery that ended up costing me about $5k out of pocket.

have mostly recovered now, but it's still not as good as the other foot, and I know it's going to hurt like hell when i'm old.

don't be like me, don't do stupid shit while drunk.

I was about to joke about the fact that you have to pay for health, but then I saw that you've never recovered. I'm very sorry, buddy.

It's not horrible, I can run and hike right now, just not at 100%.

Did something somewhat similar. Got drunk after final exams. We decided we were special agents and were rolling over car hoods/bonnets (like they do in chases). There was a van (think A-Team), and since it doesn't have much of a hood, I rolled off the roof instead.

Pretty sure I cracked or broke a rib (there was literally a loud pop). Couldn't sit up, cough, sneeze, or breathe deeply for about 2 weeks without intense pain. I never went to doctor though because I thought, "well, it's a rib, what are they gonna do? Put a cast around my whole body?"

Now I have discomfort every day, and pain between 2-3/10 after any sports. Tough when your youth idiocy catches up with you! Felt so invincible back then.
