How I did it: I was on the monkey bars and i couldnt hold on any longer so i let go. I did it without thinking so i didnt have time to let me feet hit the ground first so i fell and landed in a sitting position with my hand outsretched.
I went to A&E got Xrays and it was so swollen they couldnt see anything so they put me in a sling and told me to come back in 2 weeks for more X-rays.
In those 2 weeks i still managed to do swimming ( thats because it wasn't that painful)
After 2 weeks i got another X-ray and it turns out my Elbow was dislocated and i had a crack. So they put me in a new sling. Abit sad i didn't get a cast! :(
If i hadn't dislocated it i would of had a cast.

Lessons & tips: If your going to try and break your arm don't try all these crazy methods like the sandwich one and slamming your wrist. One because it's hard to find and excuse and if you slam it you will have bruising all over your arm and your doctor will no it wasn't accidental and you don't want to end up having social services on you!
So try and jump of a trampoline and land on your arm, or tell someone to push you over when your not looking so it's sudden!
