10 years old, playing at a friend’s house whose backyard woods had a creek running through them. We were jumping off a small bridge into the shallow creek and I landed funny on sandbar and felt a little pop in my foot. I jumped a few more times before the pain prevented me from continuing. At the doctor the next day, I was told that I came very close to entirely breaking my growth plate.
