It is usually torn by a hit from the outside or the inside of the knee. I fell of the bike sidesays. A friend of mine fell from a snowboard, but you could also tear it playing sports such as soccer, hockey and football. Though don't worry many athletes tear it and get back into sports.

∙ 14y agoyou can hurt your acl by doing sports like Rugby football or basket ball. i am a 16 year old girl and i do many sports but i tore my acl getting out of my moms truck. simple things like steping off a sidewalk or twisting your knee can damage your acl. i was sledding with some frinds and i tore it more. not knowing that i tore it in the first place. now i have to get surgery on my knee, i find out on monday when the surgery happens.
