Horrifying moment woman's bone snaps during arm-wrestle with stranger

Horrifying moment woman's bone snaps during arm-wrestle with stranger

The hard-to-watch video of her arm breaking is, weirdly, a must-watch

The thought of giving a total stranger an arm wrestle is one that occasionally goes through my mind.

However, a new fear has been unlocked after an unfortunate young woman in London broke her arm when she decided to take on a random dude in an arm fight.

24-year-old Daisy Johnson was celebrating Easter with her friends at the local pub when a complete stranger came over to their table to make conversation.

When the pair spoke about what they get up to in the gym, Daisy challenged him to an arm wrestle.

Watch what happens below:

“There was a conversation around the topic of the gym and my ears perked up," she said.

"This led to the friendly competition after stating that I could, ironically, ‘smash anyone in an arm wrestle’."

Mid-wrestle, Daisy's arm loudly cracked, and she suffered a spiral fracture in her humerus, a bone in the upper arm.

“My arm felt like the floppy arm in Harry Potter!" she added.

New fear unlocked.

“The pain started to kick in as the adrenaline wore off. The humerus then needed to be manipulated back together which was extremely painful!”

As a result, the fitness fanatic was rushed to hospital where she spent four days recovering with the help of painkillers.

And after a year, Daisy feels as though her arm is still not fully recovered.

She said: “At the time, I thought I’d just dislocated my elbow joint and was convinced once someone popped it back in for me, I could make my way back to the pub!

After the adrenaline wore off, Daisy was in a lot of pain.
Caters

“Everyone thought I was joking because I was quite a matter of fact that I’d done something and needed to go to hospital, until the realisation of my arm looking visually deformed … everyone soon realised I wasn’t joking.

“I had to hold it into my chest otherwise it was quite literally loosely swinging around.

“I spent around four days in hospital with a ton of morphine.

“It was frustrating! As a girl who spends most of her time in the gym strength training, it was mentally hard for me to have to completely change my training."

Ouch.
Caters

Daisy continued: “However, no fitness journey will ever be challenge-free and once I accepted this and viewed my injury as a challenge, I was able to make the most progress.

“I ditched the sling around three months post-op, but it took months to get to the point where I could put body weight on the injured arm.

Advert

“After a year into my recovery, the arm is still not fully back to how it was and I’m not certain whether or not it will regain its original mobility, strength and range of motion.

“Visually, the injured arm is slightly deformed and consequently shorter than the good arm. However, I’m keen to keep getting stronger every day.”
