My oldest brother was a pole vaulter in high school. We lived out in the country and rigged up a redneck pole vaulting pit (not really a good idea, probably). Dug a hole, put a bunch of foam in it and rigged up some standards.
Anyway, he hurts his elbow pole vaulting the day before a meet at the house. My dad tells him to suck it up and go about his business. The next day for the meet, the coach sees his arm and immediately sends him to the doctor for X-rays. Fractured elbow.
My dad did not feel like an a-hole. He thought it was hilarious, and we all do until this day as well.
There was also the time middle brother fractured his arm in the middle of winter while mudding on his three wheeler. He was so covered in mud that they couldn't take him to the hospital, so my dad sprays him down with a water hose (once again, in near freezing temps) before taking him into the hospital.
