Snapped mine when I was 34 years old, while playing tennis. My opponent's ball hit the top of the net and dropped over, so I charged the net to get to the ball. I pushed off with my left foot and went down like a sack of potatoes. Funny, it didn't hurt much, but I knew it was a major injury and went straight to the emergency room.

I had it sewed back together and was in a cast for 8 weeks. After the cast, I had to have rehab for a while. I had to borrow a car with an automatic for quite a while.
