For goodness sake dude, make it sound like trauma! I didn't say you had to, i just pointed out that an off topic forum did actually exist!
Anyways, I have broken both my arms, two years in between....
... I broke one when i was 3 and the other when i was 5. Completely unbiking related and i haven't broken a bone since (touch wood!).

I've broken lots of hearts.
Oh, and a femur, a few ribs and a couple of fingers.

Yeah, but they were guys... LOL 
I fractured my left tibia at the knee in 2003 while riding my nephew's P.O.S. 50cc motorcycle. That sucked. My clavicle went in February of 2007 as I mentioned earlier. I managed to break my nose last year too. The moral of the story is eventually, we all find out we're not invincible

i mean it was so much effort to open this thread!
so for me its only a broken clavical/collarbone.
i think i dislocated my shoulder in a mountainboarding crash that i had, but when i tried to stand up it poped back in again,
that was painful |

Broke my clavical and wrist (on the other arm) mountain biking a couple of years back. Had to have bolts put in the wrist.
Broke my wrist playing football and have also broken every finger in my right hand and recently broke my thumb on my left hand.
Oh and have broken a number of ribs playing football.
And my nose.
I think that's about it. |

You're not a true mtb'er unless you've broken your scaphoid
I did that a few years ago and might have broken another bone in the same crash, the lovely nhs couldn't tell, and when they went to do another x ray, they couldn't because the x-ray room had been on fire 
I've also broken my two front teeth in half  |

I had to look that one up Roo... my first thought was what the hell is a scaphoid  I thought you may have mean scapula, but after a quick Google search, I knew what you meant. How long did it take for that heal? I imagine it wasn't comfortable the first few times you went out for a spin. |

That's what I had the screws put in!
Shame I did it bunny hopping a puddle in Richmond Park though.
