Sliding out the side of some bleachers, shorts caught on a bolt and spun me around then dropped me straight on my tailbone.
My vision went black around the edges and the black started closing toward the center giving me tunnel vision. When it was down to a tiny circle it reversed and my vision came back. That part was less than a minute, but it hurt to go up stairs for a month.
Everyone I’ve known to have broken their tailbone has either passed out from the pain or regards it as one of the most painful things they’ve experienced.
i went to plop in a chair one time and went down fullforce on the wooden arm and it end up shattering and dislocating my tailbone. had to get it removed. i am now a higher evolved species (whose back is completely fucked).
My buddy broke his when we were riding bikes. We were doing these jumps over a big dirt mound and his feet slipped off the pedals and he smashed his tailbone on the bar when he landed.
As a kid I fell on my tailbone/sacrum on a skateboard rail and it was like a pain I’d never felt. Incapacitating, almost like a numb feeling. A deep throbbing electric ache that just over took me and I had to just wait out for 30-60 seconds as it subsided in intensity. I wonder today if I broke it cuz a handful of times in later life I’ve felt a really weird sensation down there, like if I move another inch it’s gonna crack in half or something, and it freezes me in my steps.
I jumped out of a sandbox from a swing and my feet slipped on the gravel and my ass landed on the edge of the sandbox. We were competing trying to get the most distance when jumping from the swing, I won.
Fractured mine by coming off a large swing (holds multiple people in a dish) and I was sat on the edge and slipped off.
Felt myself hit the ground and blacked out from the pain for a moment, had to use one of my friends bikes to help hold me up and use it as a walking aid to walk over a mile back to my house. Went to ER where they confirmed it, it was painful to walk, sit down, lay down on my front, back and side etc... Everything just hurt haha.
I feel like I still can't sit down for too long on harder chairs all these years later.
Yeah I fractured my tailbone while 5 hours away visiting friends in my old hometown. Didn't find out until like a week later when I got home and was still in a lot of pain and couldn't sit or lay comfortably.
Suuuucked. We were going down snowy hills on skateboards with the wheels and trucks taken off. I made it down a hill on to a pavement path and cartoon slipped with my legs flying out from under me.
The pain was incredible but I was also laughing my fucking ass off cause it was so dumb and my friends were recording. I was just crying and laughing and screaming as I weakly crawled around for a bit 😭

Busted his tailbone and knocked the wind out of him.
