B's Forbort won't soon forget this nasty incident from his days in LA (VIDEO)

Every hockey player's nightmare became a reality for Derek Forbort when he was a member of the Los Angeles Kings.

Hockey is a fast and physical sport, and anyone who plays the game knows that it comes with its fair share of risks. Battling for a frozen disk while wearing sharp knives under your feet has led to some nasty-looking cuts and injuries over the years.

Unfortunately, for Boston defenseman Derek Forbort, he was a skate's victim himself back when he still played for the Kings. It resulted from an awkward fall from Zach Parise, an obvious accident but a brutal one nonetheless.

Here's a look back at the scary-looking injury:

Under the circumstances, Forbort can call himself a lucky man.

Skating away from that game with the injuries he suffered is one form of luck because things could've been way worse for the 30-year-old!
