Lol ya tighten those bindings nice and tight so that the next time your skis stay on. Your tibia and fibula will snap instead! Great plan!

Trampolines are great fun, especially the 'pro' ones like in this video. I used to get so much air jumping in a timed fashion with a friend. Lots of fun. At least until you fall from about 15' over the side of the trampoline and shatter your left tibia and fibula. True story. Thankfully I was young so the bones were largely able to heal. I just have a metal bar from knee to ankle.

Wow, is he in for a wake up call when he blows out his back.


Yeah, to me it looked like he was trying to snap his fibula or tibia. Or, he was going all out and trying to take out his back. Maybe, he has one hell of work week in front of him and wants to just sit it out; forever.

The man clearly wears a shirt saying: "Don't PISS IN MY cereal! I AM A MOTHERFUCKER!!!"

Thats no wood lathe, thats a big effing machine lathe and WOW !!! That was quite a scene I doubt this kids tibia/fibula survived that.

Between when i was 19 - 24 years old I wrote all the software in a robotic bone lengthening device. It is highly related to techniques like this (and is hinted at in this video... "if the knees dont line up, another procedure is done...") the other procedure is called the Ilizarov technique.

We automated the Ilizarov technique with motors which stretched a "somewhat broken" leg 1,440 times per day, nanometers at a time, adding up to a single millimeter of "stretch" per day. This enables you to grow an inch taller every 25.4 days.

I attended many operations and bolted the motors onto the devices. One guy in Alaska had blown almost his complete tibia/fibula off with a shotgun. The doctors simply brought the foot up to the left over stub of bone, attached the motorized cage and began lengthening the bone again. In about 120 days he had grown his entire missing calf back. (It will never look the same ; ) but it is completely functional.

We also put our device on an Atlanta Falcons player who had a shortened AND rotated foot after a football break. Simple -- break the leg again, put it in a frame, and then lengthen AND rotate the leg by 1mm in each axis daily. This only took a couple weeks compared to the months for the shotgun injury.

I saw them break many bones in the operating room with chisels.

I am sure there are some Youtube videos explaining the "Ilizarov" technique and showing the frames.

Man, I bet the sex that these guys obviously have with one another is quite athletic.

But seriously, pretty amazing skills. And no shattered fibulas (apparently)!
