    Ok so you have to be carrying a significant injury into Z Day due to very bad luck. What do you pick? Broken bone? Pulled muscle?

    Also where could you afford an injury without hampering your chances of survival? Back? Leg? Arm?

    I imagine any injury significantly lowers your chances of survival. A pulled muscle would probably be the "best" injury to have as it is the kind of injury that can be ignored in extreme cases - when on the run from zombies, fighting or defending yourself due to adrenalin.

    Your best bet is to hole up somewhere relatively secure if you have an injury. First aid yourself and try stay in the same place for a couple of days for initial healing. Once whatever ails you feels strong enough you should get moving again.

    A broken arm that has a cast and is significantly healed (a couple of weeks left with the cast on) could actually be helpful if you had it come Z day. A smack with a casted arm is far more painful then a normal punch which would help in dangerous crowd situations V's other people or as some protection from bites.

    Pulled muscle hands down! Either that...or stubbed toe. :-p If you have ever stubbed your toe, you know its a temporary injury! Haha!

    Nothing like an itchy flaky scalp to let you down in the zombocalypse.

    Eyelash in your eye! As annoying as it may be it will eventualy work its way out and all will be good, provided you dont get bit during your ''injury''..

    I'd say a gash or a cut from a sharp object(Not a bite) would be the best, because you can easily stop the bleeding with first aid if it's not internal and you get a cool scar you can show off to all the hot non-zombified women when the War is over, hopefully
