True Stories

Murphy&rsquo;s Law doesn&rsquo;t care if you&rsquo;re Johnny Depp or Robert Downey Jr. Next time you twist an ankle or get chained to the bottom of your bathtub a la Isla Fisher, remember that you&rsquo;re just like these film actors, who all suffered some serious&nbsp;injuries on set while living the glamorous Hollywood life of making movies.&nbsp;From sprained ankles to scorched penises (yes, really!), there&#39;s plenty that can go tragically wrong while making a movie. 

This also explains why making films can be so expensive. Along with cast, crew, producer, and director salaries,&nbsp;production expenses include gear, catering, stunt work, and insurance. Lots of insurance. But production insurance doesn&rsquo;t save actors from getting hurt. Oh no. Film sets can be very dangerous places.

When you&rsquo;re working with weapons, aircraft, vehicles, horses, rain, water tanks, boiling water, and ferrets, proceed with extreme caution. Which famous <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-film-actors-and-actresses-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">actors and actresses</a> have literally bled for their art? Read on to learn which film stars have been injured on set and which movies had to halt production until their star recovered. Making movies isn&#39;t just glitz, glamour, and fun and games, as these behind-the-scenes movie injuries prove.&nbsp;

If anything, this cavalcade of people getting hurt on TV should serve as a warning to any of you daredevils that want to take your act to the small screen. Don’t let someone shoot you with a flaming arrow or throw an axe at you unless you’re sure that you can make it out alive. Keep reading to find out about the folks who were injured on TV.

Sometimes, just knowing that there are other people out there&nbsp;feeling&nbsp;your pain is enough to make the day better. These people posted their photos in subreddit r/<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Wellthatsucks/" target="_blank">WellThatSucks</a>; give them a nod of approval and understanding that their day did - in fact - suck. Let&#39;s commiserate together.

From fistfights to pepper spray and the wildness of the crowd, the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/retail-employees-describe-black-friday/mick-jacobs?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">worst Black Friday stories</a> are also the most memorable - and unforgettable, thanks to all those Black Friday videos. The standard consumer shopping experience continues to change, going more digital, taking advantage of tiered sales over a &quot;Black Friday Week&rdquo; or reaping the benefits of Cyber Monday. Even so, the old fashioned physical Black Friday frenzy has come as much a part of the modern holiday season as the Elf On The Shelf, inflatable holiday lawn ornaments, and children putting their wishlist for Santa on Amazon.

Many Black Friday fights are directly about sales, the endless lines, and getting those doorbuster deals. However, just as many incidents cannot be traced directly to shopping and seem to stem from the stress of the season, the temptation of savings, and a reaction to the crowded stores. Whatever the reason, Black Friday incidents remain at the forefront of the news each season, reminding us of old altercations while also reporting the newest Black Friday mayhem.

And so, in honor of the busiest shopping day of the year, here&#39;s a roundup of stories about <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/retail-employees-describe-black-friday/mick-jacobs" target="_blank">Black Friday </a>incidents that should pretty much convince everyone to stay out of a busy shopper&#39;s way this year. Especially if you&#39;re partaking in Walmart Black Fridays, just statistically.

WARNING: There are&nbsp;some seriously graphic injuries ahead. Like, seriously&nbsp;graphic.Getting injured is part of the game. Almost any athlete will tell you that. If you play any&nbsp;sport&nbsp;long enough, something will happen to you, but what happened to these&nbsp;athletes, who incurred the&nbsp;most&nbsp;brutal&nbsp;sports&nbsp;injuries ever,&nbsp;is far more horrifying than a&nbsp;common ankle sprain. What you'll find here&nbsp;are some of the most gruesome sports injuries of all time, which run the gamut from broken bones to slit throats (seriously).&nbsp;Some sports are more violent than others, but even the seemingly most benign, like baseball and basketball, have seen their share of&nbsp;awful&nbsp;sports&nbsp;injuries. Obviously, you're more likely to get your limbs snapped in half in MMA than you are playing hoops, but, as the&nbsp;worst&nbsp;things&nbsp;that&nbsp;have&nbsp;happened&nbsp;in sports show, these nasty injuries can happen any time, anywhere.&nbsp;

Fitness

Serious weightlifters are equal parts&nbsp;impressive and terrifying. The amounts these people can lift are simply superhuman, and it can leave you wondering how they're not horribly injured by it.&nbsp;Unfortunately, of course, sometimes they are.&nbsp;As you can imagine,&nbsp;the injuries are some of the most gruesome around. Some of the worst weightlifter injuries involve&nbsp;broken bones, dislocations, and of course lots and lots of screaming. These shocking accidents can sometimes even result in the deaths of weightlifters themselves, so be warned that what you're about to see is graphic and downright horrifying.To be clear, these lifting accidents are not the norm. With good spotters, proper form, and smart training, weight lifting can be very safe. That being said, when things do&nbsp;manage to go wrong, the results can be deadly.So, if you think <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/brutal-football-injuries/laura-allan">football injuries</a> and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/brutal-hockey-injuries/laura-allan">hockey injuries</a> are bad, take a deep breath. These are some of the worst weightlifting injuries (or injuries generally)&nbsp;that you're ever&nbsp;going to witness.

Ouch! These poor souls who fell asleep (we hope) in the sun were rewarded with some epic burns, UV rays-style. Nobody wants unsightly tan lines, but these people took their relaxing time in the sun to a whole new level. These aren&#39;t your run of the mill swimsuit lines, some of these people have happy faces and fun messages from their friends burned right onto their skin!&nbsp;

It&#39;s very important to use sunscreen when you&#39;re spending time outside on a hot, sunny day, unless of course you want a burn like these. They&#39;re like <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tattoo-fails/ariel-kana" target="_blank">tattoos</a>, but made of fire.

Stay safe in the sun, everyone!

The party bus injuries on this list will make you think twice before throwing a rager on a moving vehicle. From collisions, to fights, to stabbings, and even shootings, you never know exactly what you&#39;re getting into when you spend the night in a bus full of alcohol.

Many of the party bus companies even changed rules regulating their trips, and in a few cases, state governments also stepped in.

The craziest party bus rides of all time have ended in injuries all around the world. When you&#39;re drinking on a bus, anything can happen. Every state in America seems to have suffered at least one tragedy from a party bus night gone wrong.

Accidents

Justin Turner

Athletes who suffered bizarre off-field injuries number in the dozens with stories of freak accidents, or pure stupidity, leading to missed playing time. Normally athletes are injured on the field, and get paid very well for that risk, but in these cases it was something completely unrelated to their respective sports that got them in trouble.

Some of these stories can be directly attributed to athletes making poor choices. Other freak accidents were just that, accidents and happened during normal everyday activities.

Alcohol

The pub crawl injuries on this list will make you think twice before crawling bar-to-bar as part of a massive group of drunks. From collisions, to fights, to stabbings, you never know exactly what you are getting into when you spend the night wandering the streets in a pack of hot messes, after drinking at every bar on the block. Many of these tragic, alcohol-induced incidents resulted in injuries that just couldn't be mended, and a few unfortunate pub crawlers didn't survive the night. Many towns and colleges reacted to these pub crawl horror stories by re-evaluating regulations of particular pub crawls – which was probably for the best.These pub crawls range from New York City's SantaCon, where people get drunk while dressed up as Santa (and fight each other), to the &quot;Worlds Biggest Pub Crawl&quot; in Queensland, Australia. So many people have one too many drinks at <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-100-best-bars-and-pubs-in-london?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">bars and pubs</a> and have fallen or fought during these chaotic alcohol sprees that you might reconsider your choices next time your drunk friends demand your company on an epic pub crawl.Drink responsibly, and learn a few lessons from the horrible pub crawl tales below.

Athletes

The most tragic career-ruining sports injuries are those unfortunate moments when a promising and successful athletic career is snapped short in the blink of an eye, leaving fans to wonder what these talented young athletes could have done if things were different.

While many of these incidents were televised live, few are more memorable than the career-ending sack on <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/all-washington-redskins-quarterbacks/ranker-nfl?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Washington Redskins quarterback</a> Joe Theismann in 1985. Sacked by Lawrence Taylor in what ESPN viewers voted the most shocking (sports) moment in history, Theismann suffered a horrifying leg fracture and was carted off the field never to play again. The tragic incident became one of the most famous sports injuries of all time and changed the game forever. It was even highlighted in the successful book and film The Blind Side.

Though this list includes some of the worst injuries in sports, it only highlights a handful of <a href="/list/athletes-whose-careers-ended-too-soon/sportsyeah" target="_blank">athletes whose careers ended too soon</a>. These athletes may no longer be in their respective sports, but their legacies will live on forever.

What are tragic sports injuries? Sadly, they are when an athlete&#39;s career is finished due to the severity of an injury to which they can&#39;t fully recover. From the worst baseball injuries in the MLB to the most devastating hits in the NFL, this list has plenty to make you wince and wonder what could&#39;ve been.
