The Worst Gutter Ball
I had been bowling almost my entire life and was on my high school’s bowling team. I had just gotten a new bowling ball, and it was being drilled for my grip in the pro shop that was attached to the bowling alley. The guy that ran the shop came over and showed it to me. I was so excited that I wanted to try it right away.
However, because he hadn’t put the fingertip grips in yet, my fingers got caught in the ball when I tried to throw it and I went flying onto the lane. I was in pain, but I went home to sleep it off.
The next morning, I had to text my dad to come upstairs to help me out of bed. We immediately went to my doctor’s office where we were informed that I had strained every muscle in my back. Story credit: Reddit/Tchrspest
