This incident occurred in the late 80's. Clint Malarchuk of the Buffalo Sabres had his carotid artery severed by a skate and he nearly bled out on the ice. Still today I can't think of a more horrific injury to happen in a sporting event that didn't result in death.

Kevin Ware's leg snapping in an NCAA Final Four game probably would beat that.

This dude's blood was pouring onto the ice as his life was being drained from his body. Ware's injury was gruesome but this was just too much.

Couldn't really see much though...Ware's injury was right there out in the open. I can take blood squirting though, doesn't make me squeamish at all.

Wasn't he saved by some ex marine? Thought I've heard a guy with war experience who hasn't seen stuff like that for the first time knew what to do. Otherwise Malarchuk would've died in like a minute. Nasty stuff.

A few years ago, Richard Zidnik was playing for the Florida Panthers, and during a game his teammate was flipped over and his skate cut into Zidnik's neck.

Zidnik ended up pressing his hands against his open wound, putting pressure to stop the bleeding and skated back to the locker room. The medical staff told him that if he waited on the ice for medical attention, he would have died from the blood loss.

bullfighters, race drivers, test pilots, football players (spinals), BASE jumpers and probably tonnes of people in x-sports and speed sports are regularly getting gruesomely injured... flirting with death.

there's prolly some site out there that features the top 500 or so. :D

Lol what? That goalie was a minute from death. Wares injury really wasnt that bad. It was a basic break. Blown out knees with torn ligament is worse.

Crashed, trapped in flames, hit by a car, then burned for 45 seconds.

Says the dude who thinks a broken leg is more horrific than somebody's throat getting slit.

I think that's the worst I've seen. Pretty close to death.

That is so bizarre. Such a seemingly harmless act that ultimately results in so much harm to himself

Napoleon McCallum was probably the most horrific leg break I've ever seen in sports.

From wiki:

McCallum suffered a complete hyperextension of his left knee, almost to a right angle. He suffered a ruptured artery in his left knee, and tore three ligaments, tore the calf and hamstring from the bone, and suffered nerve damage in the knee. He initially thought he'd only face a lengthy rehab, but McCallum's surgeon told him that there was no chance of him ever being medically cleared to play again. The surgeon said that he normally didn't see leg injuries this severe except in car accidents. Had the surgery not gone as planned, there was a chance his left leg would have been amputated.

I've seen a lot of bad leg breaks from football, but that video is probably the only one that I actually look away from when seeing it.

There's als this:


In the 75th minute, Trautmann, diving at an incoming ball, was knocked out in a collision with Birmingham's Peter Murphy in which he was hit in the neck by Murphy's right knee...

His neck continued to cause him pain, and Prince Philip commented on its crooked state as he gave Trautmann his winner's medal.[33] Trautmann attended that evening's post-match banquet despite being unable to move his head,[34] and went to bed expecting the injury to heal with rest. As the pain did not recede, the following day he went to St George's Hospital, where he was told he merely had a crick in his neck which would go away.[35] Three days later, he got a second opinion from a doctor at Manchester Royal Infirmary. An X-ray revealed he had dislocated five vertebrae, the second of which was cracked in two.[35][36] The third vertebra had wedged against the second, preventing further damage which could have cost Trautmann his life.[36]

Hard to believe how lucky that was.
