I used to play football and suffered 15 concussions during my career. Back when I played they referred to concussions as "getting your bell rung" and coaches told us to get back on the field. I dealt with post concussion syndrome for years after and eventually suffered a stroke and developed epilepsy from the litany of traumatic brain injuries in my life. If Doctor Mike notices this I would love to talk to him about it.
The buster posey play literally implemented the "buster posey rule" which is why you essentially dont see collisions at home plate anymore. Its taking runs off the board but that beats seeing injuries like that
@@coltonwilkie241 In the old days you'd basically just plow through the catcher to try to dislodge the ball. If you smashed into them hard enough that the catcher dropped the ball, you'd be safe
Another one you could have included is Tyler Colvin. He was on third base and a broken bat came flying toward him and the sharp end of the bat hit him in the chest. It caused his lung to collapse and came very close to being a fatal injury.
My dad actually had a life-threatening baseball injury, but as a fan in the stands. The end result was part of his brain having to be removed and a titanium plate having to replace part of his skull.

More sports injuries please, these are so fascinating and informative! I tore my ACL and meniscus playing basketball in high school, and had to have my ACL replaced. Now I’m an X-ray tech and considering going back to school for physical therapy concentrating on sports injuries.
The first one is now known as the Posey rule. A catcher can not block the plate unless they have full possession of the ball. And runner must try to avoid contact.
As a softball player, it’s almost scary seeing how it’s seemingly effortless to get such a severe injury. I completely severed the UCL in my left thumb while simply diving back to third base on a fake
My mom this May fully tore her achilles, walked home with it then the next day drove herself to the hospital 🤦♀️ the human body is an amazing thing, can do and endure so much and so little at the same time.
Please react to AFL(Australian Football League) injuries, there are no pads or any protection and physical contact is fully allowed to anywhere except the head. Horrific injuries happen every few games.

@@mystery_1101 Osgood-Schlatter is a growing problem mostly known in young to mid teens. It’s a childhood repetitive-use injury that causes a painful lump below the kneecap. The disease affects children experiencing growth spurts. Children who play sports in which they regularly run and jump are most at risk. Doctor Mike also explains another form of Osgood-Schlatter during this video, which is what I have suffered from the age of 14 and still to this day I suffer from the effects of the disease. I turn 20 in April.
I was extremely active in multiple sports from elementary school up until my 20s. I suffered so many weird injuries, and had "unexplained" knee pain during my entire teens which, after watching this video, I now know what it was! But I think the weirdest injury I ever suffered was when I kicked a ball to defend the goal at the exact same moment as my teammate kicked to score a goal in practice together. We both fell down, the ball stayed in the same spot, and all the metatarsals in my foot were broken in half! Amazingly, I got up and just kept going and wasn't really even in any pain! I didn't even get an x-ray until a week later when my foot started bruising and my parents asked me if I dropped something on it. Will always be amazed that I had no pain, I broke other bones and those hurt a lot!
Dave Dravecky had a pathological fracture as a result of cancer...he attempted to come back and pitch after the first break, but the following fracture was said to be explosive. He had to have his arm amputated.

@@karlrovey Yes. The break was because he pushed himself to return quicker than his potential recovery time from the first surgery. His surgically-repaired arm only lasted two starts. Then the cancer resurfaced.
What Mike mentioned about getting injured from a bad pitch being traumatic and making it so that you are too scared to get back in the batters box is very real. Happened to me in AAA little league. Got hit really badly in the chest, minor fracture to a rib and bad bruising. Only to recover and get hit with a pitch the next game I played after coming back. After that I would stand too far out and was constantly reprimanded because I was always needing to be told to move up. Finally I just said "I'm done, I am too scared of the ball at this point." I couldn't imagine getting hit in the face or chest with an MLB fastball.
I got hit in the face when I was young and in little league. It popped my eye out of the socket and I had to go to the hospital. Took me years to get over that fear
When I was a kid I used to be a good grounder in softball. Played second base until a nasty bounce caught me in the face. I busted my lip and didn’t break my nose luckily but it was sore and bled like crazy. I was honestly a worse player after that I found myself hesitating just the slightest in certain bouncing balls
Im so sorry. My brother's been dealing with a cervical spine injury for about a year now. He almost got addicted to pain killers. I can only imagine what you've been through and still experience.
I love how you mentioned osgood shlatter, it was something I had to go through at 16 when I was a martial artist. Hurt my leg practicing a jumping kick and then later on in life had to fight through that same pains from 16-21 playing ball throughout highschool and college. Was rough but over time I didn’t feel it as bad. Didn’t know if I was getting used to the pain or if it was going away.
My only baseball injury was in little league in Phoenix, AZ. I was jogging out to be the first base coach, was too close to the on-deck batter, and got hit in the forehead with a heartily-swung bat. Inch+ avulsion right in the center of my forehead, bled like that scene in Carrie. It didn't hurt at all until the ER doc jabbed the first needle in to apply Novocain before stitching.
I’m a gymnast/coach and we put so much emphasis on preventing head injuries and obviously stuff happens but we try to be really strict about safety falls which are intended to protect the head (and forward ones to protect the elbows). I’ve seen some scary falls, but luckily nothing actually bad but it can definitely be a dangerous sport (I’ve also seen some scorpions which is what we call it when your feet go over your head the wrong way but at least gymnasts tend to be more flexible than baseball players)
Man, right out the gate with my man Buster! That kid went through a lifetime of injuries and STILL absolutely killed the game, every time. Let’s go, Giants!!
I can confirm that the effects of a concussion can last a while. I had a concussion when I was 4, I have permanent tinnitus, and regular migraines from a pinched nerve in my neck. When I look back at it as an adult, I'm amazed that I'm not paralyzed
I love when you react to stuff like thisssss! Have you done it with mma injuries? Or soccer injuries , recently one guy got his leg snapped, pretty crazy
My 16 year old nephew broke his humerus during the first game of the season this summer. He was just warming up, pitching back and forth with a reammate. It's called a thrower's break. He just finally got out of the brace. Can't play other sports until spring. Then last summer, same nephew, playing baseball, he tore all the ligaments and some tendons in the same shoulder and had to have extensive surgery and rehab The doc said he had never seen such a severe case. He even tore the tendon on one end of his bicep and they had to open his arm up to pull it back in place and reattach. He got over rehab at the end of February and then got the humerus break in June.
As a 27 year old man I wish I had a doctor around here like you i could go to. You seem to actually care about your patients and look for answers instead of using the first thing that pops up as the diagnosis. Maybe I wouldn't be dealing with the same issues a year later if you were in my area.
Watching and listening to Mike talk about that first injury takes me back to rupturing my ATFL amongst other low grade tears to the others, bursars and bone damage from the ligament ripping off while crashing a pack at full sprint playing Australia rules football, still to this day my ankle can be unstable no mater how much band and balance work i do. Kind of wish the doctor i had back then had opted for a reco. btw i was walking an hour later and only got scans done a week later after my ankle turned almost solid black from bruising while at work.
I have osgood schlatters disease so it was cool to see you mention it. I was diagnosed with it at 12 years old and at 19 I was told it had turned arthritic. I’m 25 now and I’ve been told I’ll most likely have to have a knee replacement before I turn 30. That said, I’m not easy on my knee. I still race motocross and just battle thru the pain.
I pitched softball and played soccer for several years. I’ve had many soft tissue injuries that took weeks and even months to fully heal from. So seeing these brought back some painful memories.
Dr. Mike, you should react to some figure skating accidents/injuries if you haven’t already. I thought of at least ten incidents I’ve witnessed during professional competitions while watching this and would be interested to see the injuries and whatnot broken down.
Doctor Mike is my favourite doctor/youtuber, he makes learning fun, without making the learing tiring. I could watch your videos forever, keep up the great work!

@@Sunflowersarepretty I actually watch these to see which injuries i gotten throughout my life 😂😂 I guess it's therapeutic In each sports video of Dr Mike's I counted 20 injuries (ruptured achilles , retearing of same Achilles, Separated shoulder with torn labrum, ac joint degeneration, cervical spine sprain, right knee , left knee, and hip bruises, torn lateral and medial meniscuses, broken nose (deviated septum), concussion, frontal skull fracture, carpal tunnel syndrome with torn thumb tendon off bone in same finger, split pinky knuckle, pcl tear, ankle fracture, foot bone fracture, bruised ribs neck contusion, and herninated disk in neck and low back )
I have been smacked in the head with a softball when I played on a girl's community softball team years ago. I was okay, but needed still needed stitches and was dazed for a bit. I cannot imagine getting smacked in the head by 90+ mph baseball.
Me neither. I never got hit in the head by a softball, but I got clipped really good on the foot and behind my knee. I did take a baseball to the face once watching my brother’s practice when the coach threw a ball and I was near the fence. Bounced off the top of the fence and hit my nose didn’t bleed or break which was pretty incredible. There was one big injury that happened when I was playing softball where our catcher was sliding into 2nd base and got her foot caught under the plate and snapped a bone. That made for a fun game.

As a baseball fan this is a great video. I love how people say baseball is boring, it’s easy and you don’t really get hurt. When I saw Brandon McCarthy get hit by a pitch it was so scary. He never fully recovered.
Regarding Saunder's Injury (Broken Humerus when pitching) - it's amazing you mentioned the potential for bone cancer, as, while that wasn't the case with Saunders, it was certainly a contributing factor when Dave Dravecky had the same type of injury a couple decades prior.
Losing Eddie this year sucked for my Mets... on the upside, he has worked so hard that he's throwing off a mound, and he's almost ready to return -- not that we want him to too soon. Better be safe, than sorry.

@@arianamaria_ You and me both!! I was more frustrated that apparently he was told he had a clean bill of health BUT was not aware this injury was bound to happen and soon! It was just a matter of time.
I had a pretty bad injury about a year ago. I was running to catch a massive hit to centerfield. I didn’t realize I was so close to the fence so when I turned I ran face first into the fence. I had a jawbone avulsion fracture, broke my nose, I split part of my lip, I split my bottom frenulum in half. And my sunglasses punched a small hole in my forehead. I had to get about 70 stitches in my mouth.
Good job, Dr. Mike!🙂 Enjoyed your Medical Commentary about possible DX'S, while watching these Baseball game injuries. The diagrams of the bones, ligaments, etc. were very helpful, also! Also, your Empathy and Compassion for these injured players, came shining thru! 🙂
As someone who's parents love baseball, this was very interesting! You should react to equestrian injuries next, I'm seen some bad ones happen. A lady at my barn broke her back last week... 😢
Oof, brings back memories of watching Untamed and Uncut late at night. There was this horse that reared up and landed on its back...with the rider still in the saddle. The horn of the saddle (the hard part at the front that Western saddles have to tie rope onto, I don't know equestrian stuff) dug into her face with all the weight of the horse on top of her and basically broke her face. I think she lived but was disfigured by that accident. They made a huge deal about the horse being one she'd spent years training to compete so it was shocking.
@@katrinascarlet5637 I've never thought of that. I personally ride English so my tack is lighter and less likely to do something like that, but wish Western tack I guess the saddle horn would definitely be something to think about
I'm from Florida originally and there are three injuries in this video at the rays ballpark. I remember Tony saunders the guy who broke his arm throwing the ball, watching that game live and hearing him screaming. He rehabbed and a year later tried to come back and he was in the minor leagues and did the same exact thing again and had to retire. The guy that got hit in the head with the batted ball, that also happened with the same exact two teams in the same exact ballpark except it was the rays pitcher the next time who got hit and it was honestly worse than the one that you saw in my opinion.
My brother tipped a ball at practice and it come down at him just right that it missed his helmet and hit him around the eye. I don’t remember it it was above or below, but it swelled instantly. Hugeeee goose egg. Straight to the ER and some how had no internal damage. Had a good shiner for a bit but the swelling went down pretty soon after getting some ice.
I remember a horse racing video where another horse got loose and ran in the opposite direction, colliding with a horse and jockey; the horses died and the jockey suffered a severe TBI.
i tore my achilles tendon in half back when i was a track runner, i at the same time was also a figure skater and a hockey goalie, and i can tell you, it bloody hurts 😭
Me and my brother once accidentally collided and slammed our heads together and the sound is like nothing else in the world. We were both stunned and dazed for a while, but even 18 years later I can distinctly remember that sound, thankfully no movies or videogames accurately make the sound of skulls clashing or breaking otherwise I might throw-up anytime I heard it.
I've had osgood schlatter disease in my left knee since I was around 10. I'm 21 now and it's still very painful. I was told it would go away on its own in a few months but it never did

thank you for mentioning osgood-schlatter!! i got it when i ran cross country in middle school, didn’t properly take care of it, and i deal with knee pain in my mid-20s now. i wear a knee brace for work & any other place i may be walking around a lot. please take care of yourself as a kid and wear that little knee support thing even if it feels weird!
A few nights ago a catcher for the cardinals I’m pretty sure broke his arm from reaching for a ball, and the batter swings and hits the catcher in the wrist and it breaks. You can see him screaming and even hear it a little bit in the video.
the part where you started talking about middle ear infection immedeatly brang me back to january where i had middle ear infection and a ruptured eardrom (in same ear)
For anyone who would like to know more about osgood-schlatter, I have it and im 13. The bone litterally pops up and it looks like a big bump below my patella. Painful when I fall on it. Because of this condition I have to play sports with a petella brace because thats very unstable
7:48 yeah that sound is crazy - when i wrestled my friend and i head butted during practice and she ended up getting a concussion - that moment right after impact when i was seeing stars and felt like my face was on fire sticks with me
So, I have a weird question. A couple years ago, I was in the colorguard with my college marching band. This was just after we all started going back to school from covid, so even outdoors, we had to wear masks. I was winding up to toss my flag, and on the release, I accidentally hit my head. It was my left side, a bit behind and above my ear. My coach rushed over after she saw me not getting up, and was assessing my situation when she realized I wasn't breathing right. What I remember was only being able to breathe in, but not out. I almost passed out, but she was smart enough to pull my mask off and coach me through breathing again. Was my breathing issue from shock, damage to my head, or maybe something else?
This is a really interesting question and eels to be an unusual scenario. I hope he or another medical professional/student in the comments answers this.
Okay, but you GOTTA cover hockey next. I’m gonna have nightmares about Malarchuk’s and Zednik’s worst injury for the rest of my life. But I’m also curious how the hell ANYONE survives something like that, would love to know the science behind that.

you need one of those oven mitts they use as baserunners , it keeps the thumb from getting caught sliding into a base . ouch
My mom this May fully tore her achilles, walked home with it then the next day drove herself to the hospital 🤦♀️ the human body is an amazing thing, can do and endure so much and so little at the same time.
Please react to AFL(Australian Football League) injuries, there are no pads or any protection and physical contact is fully allowed to anywhere except the head. Horrific injuries happen every few games.
I'm a teen who plays Basketball, and I am suffering with Osgood-Schlatter, and it made me so happy to see you mention it in this video! Great content and I love your stuff Doctor Mike!
What's Osgood-Schlatter?

@@mystery_1101 Osgood-Schlatter is a growing problem mostly known in young to mid teens. It’s a childhood repetitive-use injury that causes a painful lump below the kneecap. The disease affects children experiencing growth spurts. Children who play sports in which they regularly run and jump are most at risk. Doctor Mike also explains another form of Osgood-Schlatter during this video, which is what I have suffered from the age of 14 and still to this day I suffer from the effects of the disease. I turn 20 in April.
I was extremely active in multiple sports from elementary school up until my 20s. I suffered so many weird injuries, and had "unexplained" knee pain during my entire teens which, after watching this video, I now know what it was! But I think the weirdest injury I ever suffered was when I kicked a ball to defend the goal at the exact same moment as my teammate kicked to score a goal in practice together. We both fell down, the ball stayed in the same spot, and all the metatarsals in my foot were broken in half! Amazingly, I got up and just kept going and wasn't really even in any pain! I didn't even get an x-ray until a week later when my foot started bruising and my parents asked me if I dropped something on it. Will always be amazed that I had no pain, I broke other bones and those hurt a lot!
Dave Dravecky had a pathological fracture as a result of cancer...he attempted to come back and pitch after the first break, but the following fracture was said to be explosive. He had to have his arm amputated.

i remember seeing this when it happened and it haunted me. I was so sad for him. that was crazy
Wasn't the amputation a result of the cancer returning?
@@karlrovey Yes. The break was because he pushed himself to return quicker than his potential recovery time from the first surgery. His surgically-repaired arm only lasted two starts. Then the cancer resurfaced.
@@Gameflyer001 I suspect the cancer never left completely. Interestingly, Saunders had that injury twice without the bone being weakened by cancer.
Hey doctor mike! My mom is a nurse and we love watching your content together! Keep up the great videos!
As a giants fan for 25 years, it’s hard to watch busters collision so glad he came back from it and went on to have a hall of fame career
What Mike mentioned about getting injured from a bad pitch being traumatic and making it so that you are too scared to get back in the batters box is very real. Happened to me in AAA little league. Got hit really badly in the chest, minor fracture to a rib and bad bruising. Only to recover and get hit with a pitch the next game I played after coming back. After that I would stand too far out and was constantly reprimanded because I was always needing to be told to move up. Finally I just said "I'm done, I am too scared of the ball at this point."
I couldn't imagine getting hit in the face or chest with an MLB fastball.
I got hit in the face when I was young and in little league. It popped my eye out of the socket and I had to go to the hospital. Took me years to get over that fear
@@HoneyBadger1342nah so basically you got hit under the eye area and it popped out
When I was a kid I used to be a good grounder in softball. Played second base until a nasty bounce caught me in the face. I busted my lip and didn’t break my nose luckily but it was sore and bled like crazy. I was honestly a worse player after that I found myself hesitating just the slightest in certain bouncing balls
10 years ago I fell from about 15ft up and landed with my back twisted. 10 years later I'm still in intense pain.
I am so sorry
Im so sorry. My brother's been dealing with a cervical spine injury for about a year now. He almost got addicted to pain killers. I can only imagine what you've been through and still experience.
skill issue
Like 25 years ago my grandma fell off a really high place and she broke her spine. It was very hard for her to walk after that.
I’m sorry to hear that.
Every Doctor Mike video is a home run! ⚾🙌🏻
more like a grand slam🤣
@@shawnzulauf5188😂😂
That Buster Posey play they ended up changing the rule about running over the catcher at home plate
I love how you mentioned osgood shlatter, it was something I had to go through at 16 when I was a martial artist. Hurt my leg practicing a jumping kick and then later on in life had to fight through that same pains from 16-21 playing ball throughout highschool and college. Was rough but over time I didn’t feel it as bad. Didn’t know if I was getting used to the pain or if it was going away.
These baseball injuries can vary I n severity. We appreciate Dr Mike's insights on this. Seems like he's got a lot of important things to say.
Are you an AI 💀
Probably
Are you being sarcastic?
My only baseball injury was in little league in Phoenix, AZ.
I was jogging out to be the first base coach, was too close to the on-deck batter, and got hit in the forehead with a heartily-swung bat.
Inch+ avulsion right in the center of my forehead, bled like that scene in Carrie.
It didn't hurt at all until the ER doc jabbed the first needle in to apply Novocain before stitching.
Doctor Mike's personality is brighter than the sun ☀
I’m a gymnast/coach and we put so much emphasis on preventing head injuries and obviously stuff happens but we try to be really strict about safety falls which are intended to protect the head (and forward ones to protect the elbows). I’ve seen some scary falls, but luckily nothing actually bad but it can definitely be a dangerous sport (I’ve also seen some scorpions which is what we call it when your feet go over your head the wrong way but at least gymnasts tend to be more flexible than baseball players)
Man, right out the gate with my man Buster! That kid went through a lifetime of injuries and STILL absolutely killed the game, every time. Let’s go, Giants!!
I can confirm that the effects of a concussion can last a while.
I had a concussion when I was 4, I have permanent tinnitus, and regular migraines from a pinched nerve in my neck. When I look back at it as an adult, I'm amazed that I'm not paralyzed
I love when you react to stuff like thisssss! Have you done it with mma injuries?
Or soccer injuries , recently one guy got his leg snapped, pretty crazy
My 16 year old nephew broke his humerus during the first game of the season this summer. He was just warming up, pitching back and forth with a reammate. It's called a thrower's break. He just finally got out of the brace. Can't play other sports until spring.
Then last summer, same nephew, playing baseball, he tore all the ligaments and some tendons in the same shoulder and had to have extensive surgery and rehab
The doc said he had never seen such a severe case. He even tore the tendon on one end of his bicep and they had to open his arm up to pull it back in place and reattach. He got over rehab at the end of February and then got the humerus break in June.
As a 27 year old man I wish I had a doctor around here like you i could go to. You seem to actually care about your patients and look for answers instead of using the first thing that pops up as the diagnosis. Maybe I wouldn't be dealing with the same issues a year later if you were in my area.
Watching and listening to Mike talk about that first injury takes me back to rupturing my ATFL amongst other low grade tears to the others, bursars and bone damage from the ligament ripping off while crashing a pack at full sprint playing Australia rules football, still to this day my ankle can be unstable no mater how much band and balance work i do. Kind of wish the doctor i had back then had opted for a reco. btw i was walking an hour later and only got scans done a week later after my ankle turned almost solid black from bruising while at work.
I have osgood schlatters disease so it was cool to see you mention it. I was diagnosed with it at 12 years old and at 19 I was told it had turned arthritic. I’m 25 now and I’ve been told I’ll most likely have to have a knee replacement before I turn 30. That said, I’m not easy on my knee. I still race motocross and just battle thru the pain.
You should totally do this for Australina Rules Footbal (AFL), their are some crazy high speed clashes as well as a lot of ACL etc
Or maybe even the NRL (National Rugby League)
I pitched softball and played soccer for several years. I’ve had many soft tissue injuries that took weeks and even months to fully heal from. So seeing these brought back some painful memories.
This was really cool to have more discussion about injuries! This could be really cool to do with ice hockey injuries like Clint Malarchuck

I love how I came here to see baseball injury’s and he just explained what caused my mastoididis
Mastoiditis
Dr. Mike, you should react to some figure skating accidents/injuries if you haven’t already. I thought of at least ten incidents I’ve witnessed during professional competitions while watching this and would be interested to see the injuries and whatnot broken down.
Doctor Mike is my favourite doctor/youtuber, he makes learning fun, without making the learing tiring. I could watch your videos forever, keep up the great work!

In each sports video of Dr Mike's
I counted 20 injuries (ruptured achilles , retearing of same Achilles, Separated shoulder with torn labrum, ac joint degeneration, cervical spine sprain, right knee , left knee, and hip bruises, torn lateral and medial meniscuses, broken nose (deviated septum), concussion, frontal skull fracture, carpal tunnel syndrome with torn thumb tendon off bone in same finger, split pinky knuckle, pcl tear, ankle fracture, foot bone fracture, bruised ribs neck contusion, and herninated disk in neck and low back )
I have been smacked in the head with a softball when I played on a girl's community softball team years ago. I was okay, but needed still needed stitches and was dazed for a bit. I cannot imagine getting smacked in the head by 90+ mph baseball.
Me neither. I never got hit in the head by a softball, but I got clipped really good on the foot and behind my knee. I did take a baseball to the face once watching my brother’s practice when the coach threw a ball and I was near the fence. Bounced off the top of the fence and hit my nose didn’t bleed or break which was pretty incredible. There was one big injury that happened when I was playing softball where our catcher was sliding into 2nd base and got her foot caught under the plate and snapped a bone. That made for a fun game.

As a baseball fan this is a great video. I love how people say baseball is boring, it’s easy and you don’t really get hurt. When I saw Brandon McCarthy get hit by a pitch it was so scary. He never fully recovered.
Regarding Saunder's Injury (Broken Humerus when pitching) - it's amazing you mentioned the potential for bone cancer, as, while that wasn't the case with Saunders, it was certainly a contributing factor when Dave Dravecky had the same type of injury a couple decades prior.
Losing Eddie this year sucked for my Mets... on the upside, he has worked so hard that he's throwing off a mound, and he's almost ready to return -- not that we want him to too soon. Better be safe, than sorry.

This is the only youtube channel that I'm allowed to watch unrestricted since it's so informative plus entertaining
i learned so much from the body just from this channel more then the schools do
I had a pretty bad injury about a year ago. I was running to catch a massive hit to centerfield. I didn’t realize I was so close to the fence so when I turned I ran face first into the fence. I had a jawbone avulsion fracture, broke my nose, I split part of my lip, I split my bottom frenulum in half. And my sunglasses punched a small hole in my forehead. I had to get about 70 stitches in my mouth.
Good job, Dr. Mike!🙂 Enjoyed your Medical Commentary about possible DX'S, while watching these Baseball game injuries.
The diagrams of the bones, ligaments, etc. were very helpful, also!
Also, your Empathy and Compassion for these injured players, came shining thru! 🙂
As someone who's parents love baseball, this was very interesting! You should react to equestrian injuries next, I'm seen some bad ones happen. A lady at my barn broke her back last week... 😢
Oof, brings back memories of watching Untamed and Uncut late at night. There was this horse that reared up and landed on its back...with the rider still in the saddle. The horn of the saddle (the hard part at the front that Western saddles have to tie rope onto, I don't know equestrian stuff) dug into her face with all the weight of the horse on top of her and basically broke her face. I think she lived but was disfigured by that accident. They made a huge deal about the horse being one she'd spent years training to compete so it was shocking.
@@katrinascarlet5637 I've never thought of that. I personally ride English so my tack is lighter and less likely to do something like that, but wish Western tack I guess the saddle horn would definitely be something to think about
2:49 I like how he says "remember" like I ever knew that specific detail about the spine
Well,you know now. Just remember it the next time he asks😂.
I'm from Florida originally and there are three injuries in this video at the rays ballpark. I remember Tony saunders the guy who broke his arm throwing the ball, watching that game live and hearing him screaming. He rehabbed and a year later tried to come back and he was in the minor leagues and did the same exact thing again and had to retire. The guy that got hit in the head with the batted ball, that also happened with the same exact two teams in the same exact ballpark except it was the rays pitcher the next time who got hit and it was honestly worse than the one that you saw in my opinion.
My brother tipped a ball at practice and it come down at him just right that it missed his helmet and hit him around the eye. I don’t remember it it was above or below, but it swelled instantly. Hugeeee goose egg. Straight to the ER and some how had no internal damage. Had a good shiner for a bit but the swelling went down pretty soon after getting some ice.
0:33 Dr. Mike said "Ankle injury" but my first thought was "He just got headbutted in the ribs!"
Agreed
Jim Abbott was a LEGEND. The Angels often seem to get them and not really know what to do with them...
Would love to see you react to horsebackriding injuries! there's some gnarly looking once
I remember a horse racing video where another horse got loose and ran in the opposite direction, colliding with a horse and jockey; the horses died and the jockey suffered a severe TBI.
@@esteemedmortal5917 wow
i tore my achilles tendon in half back when i was a track runner, i at the same time was also a figure skater and a hockey goalie, and i can tell you, it bloody hurts 😭
That first clip hurt my soul. I love buster posey
Me and my brother once accidentally collided and slammed our heads together and the sound is like nothing else in the world. We were both stunned and dazed for a while, but even 18 years later I can distinctly remember that sound, thankfully no movies or videogames accurately make the sound of skulls clashing or breaking otherwise I might throw-up anytime I heard it.
For the Tony Saunders non-impact injury, it happened again when he came back to baseball after recovering from it!
Can you possibly do soccer injuries? There’s a few insane ones. One being the knee twisted in a 180!
6:44 this one made my butt tense up, no joke
Is it just me or does everyone feel like they have a tendon rupture in their leg now?
I've had osgood schlatter disease in my left knee since I was around 10. I'm 21 now and it's still very painful. I was told it would go away on its own in a few months but it never did

thank you for mentioning osgood-schlatter!! i got it when i ran cross country in middle school, didn’t properly take care of it, and i deal with knee pain in my mid-20s now. i wear a knee brace for work & any other place i may be walking around a lot. please take care of yourself as a kid and wear that little knee support thing even if it feels weird!
A few nights ago a catcher for the cardinals I’m pretty sure broke his arm from reaching for a ball, and the batter swings and hits the catcher in the wrist and it breaks. You can see him screaming and even hear it a little bit in the video.
He’s now reacted to NFL, MLB, and even WWE, now we need an NBA video!
Yeah, there are some bad injuries there. I remember my brother showing me a video of a compound fracture with the bone sticking out 😳

6:09 SOUP NATION 😂 ... just me? ok lol.
You should do this with hockey next!
For anyone who would like to know more about osgood-schlatter, I have it and im 13. The bone litterally pops up and it looks like a big bump below my patella. Painful when I fall on it. Because of this condition I have to play sports with a petella brace because thats very unstable
7:48 yeah that sound is crazy - when i wrestled my friend and i head butted during practice and she ended up getting a concussion - that moment right after impact when i was seeing stars and felt like my face was on fire sticks with me
So, I have a weird question. A couple years ago, I was in the colorguard with my college marching band. This was just after we all started going back to school from covid, so even outdoors, we had to wear masks. I was winding up to toss my flag, and on the release, I accidentally hit my head. It was my left side, a bit behind and above my ear. My coach rushed over after she saw me not getting up, and was assessing my situation when she realized I wasn't breathing right. What I remember was only being able to breathe in, but not out. I almost passed out, but she was smart enough to pull my mask off and coach me through breathing again. Was my breathing issue from shock, damage to my head, or maybe something else?
This is a really interesting question and eels to be an unusual scenario. I hope he or another medical professional/student in the comments answers this.

Catcher:Did he go
Ump:Yes he did
Man getting destroyed by ball
Mike: did he catch it

Okay, but you GOTTA cover hockey next. I’m gonna have nightmares about Malarchuk’s and Zednik’s worst injury for the rest of my life. But I’m also curious how the hell ANYONE survives something like that, would love to know the science behind that.
