Lots of other attempts, but no other breaks!Collar bone is due to people not knowing how to fall correctly, isn't it?
{Edit}just noticed people are adding non-mtb related.. hmm. So added nose and rib

Adde 3 broken ribs, nose broken twice both wrists (at the same time) ankle (went through front wheel when foot came unclipped while bunny hopping) collar bone left one twice. Not bad eholdgitFree MemberNo wonder were all so freakin ugly.
I'm waiting to break my nose a fourth time in the vain hope it might be like corrective surgery.
TimPFree MemberOldgit
Mine keeps being broken the same way, gradually migrating across my face. Gives me a "lived in" look. Just waiting to get hit by a southpaw and that should hopefully solve the problem though, but probably only got 2 or 3 seasons left in me and this one has been a write off with a new baby and new house.KucoFull MemberHead

Broken nose 3 times and both thumbs 🙁oldgitFree MemberYep did mine first time in the 70s and they didn't worry about how pretty you looked when you left hospital back then. Mines so badly fixed I've had nasal problems ever since.

2 x ankles and 2 x legs falling 25ft off a climb in the peak – almost had both amputated
arm – only bike related one, rode over a twig on a pavement at about 2 mph, fell off sideways and broke arm.Led to an interesting conversation at mountain mayhem a week later: 'are you alright mate (pushing bike through mud with one arm' 'yeh just got a broken arm' 'are you limping as well?' 'its okay having my ankle fused in the morning'
At least I had 6 weeks to recover from mayhem after having my ankle joint removed and replaced with titanium.Gareth
KucoFull MemberOld git I know where your coming from with nasal problems, had passages widened slightly and use Flixonase nasal spray to try to keep them clear. I side always feels blocked.

Yes. You're also the only person I've ever heard of with a heart bone, let alone a broken one.
