After last nights Livingston injury it got me thinking about some of the hard to watch injury's I've seen over the years thought we could discuss some of them.
I'd have to go with Willis McGahee's knee injury in the 03 Fiesta Bowl game sh*t was horrible to look at.

THere was one guyin baseball that when sliding into a base his ankle just shriveled up. That sucked ass.
I think McCallam's injury tops the Willis one.

Alabama WR Tyrone Prothro's injury against Southern Miss was pretty nasty but Shaun Livingston's injury last night was pretty bad. But I agree with you guys Willis McGahee's is probably the worst I have ever seen.
I'll go with McGahee. When I saw that injury, I thought he'd never be able to play football again.
brian butch anyone?
Willis' injury is really awful. But I'll go for another. Henrik Larsson, a Swedish soccer great, had his leg broken in 1999, while playing for Celtic.
Pay attention to left leg.

I think I've got you all beat. Here's the background story, with the link for the pic at the bottom.
Quote:
The rather shocking photo attached snapped in November 16th of last year by a spectator at the collegiate power lifting championships at Penn State. The unfortunate competitor, who expressed a plea to remain anonymous, remembered to surgeons that he was " stuck" at the bottom of a personal best attempt in the squat lift when he "sort of pulled his stomach in and pushed extra hard, at the same time as trying to complete the lift."
He remembers a loud popping, splattering noise then a fierce stabbing pain and then not being able to move from the squat position. He remained in this position for about half an hour, since trying to stand caused him overwhelming agonizing pain. Paramedics arrived and applied anesthesia on the spot and carried him to an ambulance. He was rushed to surgery, where surgeons described the trauma as an explosive and aggravated prolapse of the bowel". Meanwhile it was revealed that the weight was removed from his shoulders at the time of the incident by two "spotters" on either side of the lifter. The third spotter who was standing behind the lifter was unfortunately sprayed with fecal matter at the time of the incident. This spotter promptly fainted when he realized the extent of of the injury to the lifter, who was a personal friend.
This compounded the task of first aid officers who were at a loss as to how to treat the injury to the lifter in any case, who remained in the squatting position moaning in pain much to the consternation of the helpless audience. The hapless lifter had successful surgery to relieve the prolapse, but remained immobilized with his feet elevated in stirrups for 2 weeks to ensure "internal compliance with the surgery and that the organs retracted successfully".
To add insult to injury, the ex-lifter required rectal stitching to partially occlude the anal orifice and stitch the rectal passage (which had significantly expanded and torn during the prolapse) and also was put on a low fiber low residue diet to combat flatulence to avoid any possibility of a recurrence.
