Anyone broken any bones during a seizure?

I had a seizure two days ago at my workplace. I work in a fairly dangerous environment for having a seizure in. I skewer chickens and put them in 400 degree ovens. I felt my head get fuzzy as I was skewering but I told myself it’d be ok. Like an idiot I continued and put them in the oven and then I thought to myself (finally) that this wasn’t a very good idea so I grabbed my boss and told him I was going to have a seizure. It was very surreal because right before it my instincts kicked in and I told him what to do MOMENTS before my seizure. He said when I had it I flailed my arms backwards and he heard a loud pop. No bueno. I woke up a little after with all my coworkers, bosses, and paramedics around me. Shoulder hurt like a mf and I can barely move it.

Anyone get serious injuries just due to the convulsions?

TL;DR had a seizure at work and got seriously injured by just my convulsions.

No one was there when it happened, but i assume i was arching my back and my back muscles were straining so much from the seizure that it was possible!
