OUCH

no, sprained them a few times by going over sideways while standing still.
Never quite managed an ankle break.

I have broken a bone in my foot running for a train, but that was thanks to
trying to take 2.5 steps at a time downwards. Needless to say I missed the
train.

Luckily my garden and I understand each other. I don't try to kill it, it
doesn't try to kill me.

(failing that, circuit breakers are handy :-)
