    I remember stepping on a rusty nail as a kid, and I noticed that a plank of wood was stuck to my foot before I even registered how much pain I was in.

      I did the same when I was 10. Got lucky with the position and did no real damage despite the nail coming out the top of the top of my shoe.

      I pulled my foot back and the nail come out. Went to tell my dad what happened and he was talking to someone and told me to wait so i did for about 5 minutes. I wasn’t bawling in pain so he didn’t know anything was wrong.

      Went to hospital and got an X-ray, a tetanus shot and a bandage.

      Same. Was in my grandfather’s ranch as a kid and didn’t see it coming as it was buried under cow shit. Apparently boot soles don’t protect much against nails.

      That’s what happened when I snapped my ulna and radius. Didn’t know anything was wrong until I couldn’t rotate my arm.

      I looked down, saw it, then it started hurting.
