Well! I've never broken a leg or arm before, It was so much worse than that. I had a terrible accident when I was young. We were playing in our neighbor's backyard when I step into a wooden plank with a rusty nail hammered upright. It was terrying it made a hole around my sole, I passed out in terror, was taken to the hospital and had my foot cast. It was such a frightening experience. I cringe just the thought of it. Though terrifying I learned my lesson from it, never walk barefoot and never break into someone's backyard. Hehe

It's the blessing of Allah that I have not broken my legs and arms yet, and I hope that I will not break them in the future as well. I am very afraid of breaking legs or arms, as it has pretty harsh pain and I can not suffer the pain.
