Broken Arm Lego Accessories

Ok, so here is the story... My boy busted his arm on the playground playing cops and robbers. He got his arm set and about a week later, got a beautiful green and black cast. As we were driving him home from school a couple days later, we had a great idea. We decided to 'accessorize' his new arm. We drove to Walmart to pick up supplies...

Step 1: Supplies...

At Walmart we bought a Lego set that had some flat pieces in it. My son has Legos, but he did not want to use any of the ones he has, since they are all Star Wars models. We also bought some waterproof epoxy putty (look for it in the automotive or the home improvement sections of the store).

We also rounded up a few accessories... A voice recorder/changer, a compass, a flashlight, a USB drive and a small box.

[mason0190]

[The nerdling]

i'm turning 15 and i have'nt broken anything
besides my teeth 

[crouchingwolf]

i have to go break my arm now. *walks out*

[Bigev]

I just broke my wrist 9 months ago, still not healed. Never break thine wrist.

[johnet326]

And it likely never will. I broke both wrists (@ different times). Don't ask.
One was in a cast for over a year.

Now more than thirty years later, arthritis in both wrists. Hopefully medical practices have improved since then. It was the dark ages after all.

Getting old ain't for sissies.

[Win7Maniac]

Lol broke mine 5 years ago. Still not healed? Appearently so. Gotta hate when that happens. . .

[Warlrosity]

Mine is broken NOW

[Bigev]

I just had a screw put in mine. I hate casts...

[makerboy112]

I had a radial head break in my arm. I have to go to therapy now and get xrays everyother month

[aeray]

I'm 30 and have never broken a bone, or had a cavity. I rock climb, mountaineer, mountain bike, backpack, back country ski, whitewater kayak and raft, and have (and do still) work in accident-prone industries.

[pdub77]

certain activities can predispose you to broken bones. building ramps for my bike and attempting crazy skateboarding maneuvers was my downfall. a lot of fun, though. =)

[Warlrosity]

I fell over..

[bpwagner]

All you need is some waterproof epoxy putty and some legos... walmart...then past some pics...

[microman171]

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm almost 16 and haven't had any injury that has hospitalised me.

[jamwaffles]

I broke my arm wen i feel off the roof of a bouncy castle when i was like 12, and it happened on THE FIRST DAY of our 6weeks break... :P

[mason0190]

wait... why were you on the roof... and how did you get up there...

[jamwaffles]

The only way i can describe it is the roof was made of two 'tubular arches' if you get me. And i got up there by jumping at the corner of the walls till i got on top of them, and it all went from there :P

[mason0190]

that doesnt explain WHY you were up there

[jamwaffles]

Erm... Hmm... Showing off I guess. It's also something I liked to do with bouncy castles - their normal uses got boring after a while.

[msdrpepper]

Hmmm I'd say you were normal. Not everyone breaks their arms. my son will be 11 next weekend (not this coming) and he has not broke. His arm yet. And I aclmost 50 and have no broken arms so far. Knock On wood!

[yeah568]

Heh, I'm 11, and I still haven't had any major injuries either, so, yeah, that's natural.

[toogers]

i'm 11 and broke my LEG when i was 2.

[Plasmana]

I never had any serious injury in my life. Yet... And I am 16.

[NoBetterName]

I've broken my arm 4 times and I'm 22. The first was when I was 11 months old. But then again, I'm not normal.

[ChrysN]

Hey, I'm in my 30s and I've yet to break a bone. Maybe when I hit 40 I'll fall apart!

[=SMART=]

its not natural to break your arm !!

[bpwagner]

My son has broken his arm twice. Be careful on the playground!

[Triblade101]

Well...I broke my wrist twice but the thing is...it broke in the same place twice before it healed. I was a reckless kid. :-) Now I'm a reckless, 17 year old, kid. :-P

[Iridium7]

yeah im 13 and my worst injury was a jammed wrist. trust me DON"T DO ANYTHING STUPID and you won't get hurt.

[mason0190]

mine was a jammed pinky toe. i must be lucky :3 never evn stung by a bee otherwise

[Houdinipeter]

not true, alot of people get injured during sports

[toogers]

i jumped on a yoga ball, went 5 feet in the air, and ,trying to breaak my fall, i pointed my fist to the ground. not smart......

[mason0190]

my friend punched the floor and shattered his thumb and palm... that suddenly makes you look like einstein

[king kolton9]

late, but yeah, lol... why did he punch thy floor?

[KwartzKitten]

Oh that is just the coolest idea

[JMSL2009]

 Have you heard about Casttoo?

It's a Tattoo Design that applies directly to the cast surface and makes a world of difference to the person who uses it.

I sent one to my cousin after ordering on their website www.casttoo.com She said it arrived within 2 days, was easy to apply and made her feel a million times better!

I highly recommend it!

[Houdinipeter]

definitely depends on the broken's age. this sounds great for more self conscious people. opposed to kids or young at heart who like cool toys. ible for a diy version of this?

[yoyology]

I know it's too late now, but did you enter this in the "Health By Design" contest? Great idea for making a cast into a "utility belt". I bet your son loved it!

[pdub77]

i wish i had thought of this when i broke my arm in the sixth grade. i've been a lego maniac for all but two of my thirty one years. this is awesome!
