I've only done it a couple times, and unfortunately tonight was one of them. I was being a little sloppy on a turrn and my heels smacked the top of the gutter. Nothing broken but I'll probably have a good bruise. Add this to lanelines (the plastic floats can be sharp when broken) and hand collisions with other swimmers to the list of hazards.
My brother broke his ankle doing this a few years ago. When my mom told me, I was like "How do you break you ankle while swimming?" He had to explain it to me. Thing was he hit them hard a time or two before he broke the one, you think he would have learned. (I got the brains in the family:thhbbb:)
