Health: Today, I got back from a three week trip in the Alaska back-country....

Today, I got back from a three week trip in the Alaska back-country. I survived climbing fatally steep mountains, white water rafting in a freezing glacier river, and a near bear attack. Despite all that, a badly thrown frisbee managed to split my eyebrow in half. FML

Today, I had my first real break from work in ages, so I decided to go hiking. Less than 20 minutes in, I tumbled a couple hundred feet down a steep hill, broke my leg and several toes, and lay there in agony for an eternity before I was finally rescued. FML

Today, I went on a relaxing nature hike to de-stress. I got lost for hours, encountered a bear, and had to play dead, only for the bear to steal my sandwich then sit there for hours before finally leaving. FML

Today, I re-broke my leg. The same way I broke it the first time, playing frisbee. FML

Today, I finally went to the hospital for a week-long migraine. A few Saturdays ago I went to the park to play frisbee with my friends and coworkers. While climbing a fence, I fell and hit my head twice. Turns out I have a severe concussion and a swollen brain. FML

Today, I was hiking, and four miles away from my car and civilization, I tripped over a rock into a cactus. I used duct tape, which ripped all the hair off my arms and legs but ignored the spikes. FML

Today, at a ski resort, I tried to impress an attractive girl on the slopes and failed, horribly. I ended up with a mild concussion and some serious cuts after tripping, tumbling and hitting my head against the ground. I don't think she was impressed. FML

Today, my husband is finally fully recovered from getting decompression sickness during our scuba diving vacation. Today is also the day I snapped my femur in half while skiing. FML

Today, we had to abandon a Winter Scout camping trip midway because of a blizzard. I was hauling my stuff out of the cabin. No one warned me about the icy steps. I slipped, landed on my tailbone, blacked out and saw stars. Everyone is now laughing at me and doing impressions of me rolling in the snow in pain. FML

Today, I went sledding with my friends. I said I was tired and didn't want to go, but they press-ganged me into it. I ended up sledding right into a tree, fracturing my leg, and scraping up my entire face. FML

Today, I went dirtbiking. While I was going down a hill, I spun out of control and flipped over my handle bars. I now have a sprained arm, multiple bruises and a crescent-shaped gash on my neck that looks like I was bitten. People are asking if my boyfriend and I were being frisky last night. FML

I think the mountain threw the frisbee, trying to kill you a second time.

"fatally steep mountain"?? Do you even know what "fatal" means? I think not.

fwiw, if something is "fatal", it means it ACTUALLY killed you. Ie, a fatal snake bite is a snake bite that kills you. "Deadly", however, simply means it's CAPABLE of killing you... so "deadly steep mountains", while still sounding a bit stupid and like an exaggeration, would be more accurate.

You fail at trying to sound like a real manly man. The rivers, even in Alaska are not "glacier" or freezing this time of year, just a bit cold. And "near" bear attack? It either attacked or it didn't and a bluff doesn't count. You sound pretty wimpy. And a frisbee that hits you in face isn't badly thrown.

"I survived climbing fatally steep mountains" "I pissed my pants when I saw how steep it was, thank god nobody noticed" "white water rafting in a freezing glacier river" "I thought the water was going to be heated, and was sorely dissappointed" "and a near bear attack" "I thought I saw a bear"

wow guys I'm from Alaska lemme clear this up. OP is a drama idiot. bear sightings are nearly never dangerous. and the poster about the moose is correct. if you see a moose, be careful, bears on the other hand are mostly non dangerous if you act calm, with the exception of black bears. and the shit tourist do is never dangerous, the glacier kayaking and mountain climbing are pampered to middle aged rich cruise takers.

anyone else hate these fmls? the ones that are like "I survived a (insert adventure here) but a (insert petty action/event here) manages to (scare/hurt etc etc)" or "I'm an ex marine but blah blah blah blah blah" these are so stupid. shit happens. a flying plastic disk can easily split your eyebrow open. herp derp
