24 and I haven't yet broken a bone. I suppose I may have one of the times I've stubbed my little toe but if I did break one of those bastards I assume it would have hurt more. I'm actually surprised that I'm in the majority here! It's good to know I'm not the overly cautious person around here.
I've had my share of minor injuries, but probably my most painful experiences (well, apart from that time my vertebrae got out of alignment and pinched some nerves... Or that time I had 3 fingers get shut in a door) are foot cramps. Seriously, Fuck those things.
I had a hairline fracture running the entire length of one of my ribs when I fell onto my back from about 2 meters. I was 7 years old on June, 1999. It was a Sunday and my graduation party for grade 1 was the next day, but for the moment I was in the next town over, playing on the play-ground near my grandparent's place. The particular playground equipment was a line of gradually higher tires suspended on a parallel frame on either side by a chain. I was on the second highest one when I fell on my back. My wind was knocked out for nearly a minute and I was close to passing out. My grandparents drove me back to the city to get X-Rays and the hospital where they discovered the fracture. Since there was really nothing they could do and as I long as I refrained from too much exertion it would heal on its own they did nothing. It was a long two months before I could get out of bed without wheezing in pain.
My first proper break was my collar bone, age 16.
The genius doctors at my local hospital put me in the wrong kind of sling, meaning it then set incorrectly. Now my left arm hangs slightly lower than my right, and I have to constantly put effort into standing up straight, which always just came naturally to me before.

Man, look at all these uninitiated babies.
Freshman year of high school. Soccer game. First half. I went down. Much bigger guy came down on top of me. Crack across my left radius and ulna. Finished the game because I'm such a hardass 'n' stuff. THUG LIFE.

I've only broken one bone (or so I'm told) though I've no memory of it.
5 years old, cousin landed on my foot while jumping on the trampoline.
otherwise I've managed to stay out of harms way

I did...something...to my tailbone when i was 13 or so (29 now). I fell off the top bunk and landed butt first on a metal heating vent on the ground. Went to a doctor and he just kinda scratched his head.
Ever since though, my rear gets agitated real easy whenever i sit down on something that is not plush. It is also why I use a Lazyboy recliner for a computer chair as even regular computer chairs (and movie theater seats) agitate after a few hours.
I took a pop fly to my kneecap once when I was 14 or 15. Didnt break anything, but it did render my leg useless for a few days.
'Twas a cloudy day. I was playing outfield and a batter hits a ball towards me. As I was under the ball preparing to catch it....right at that moment the clouds parted and I stared directly into the sun causing momentary blindness. Long enough for the ball to hit me in the knee.
Hell, nobody guessed anything was wrong except it looked like I was praying in the middle of the field for no reason.

Funny story!
This morning, I picked "never" on this poll. Not two hours later, I stubbed my toe pretty badly. It is now painful to walk on, and is becoming weirdly numb and tingly at the same time. If I start developing ugly bruises, I'll become very worried.

Broke my left pinky and ring finger in a stupid sports accident when I was a kid. I never liked sports. >_>
Then, I shit you not, last October (2011) I was just walking home and tripped on the sidewalk and dislocated and broke the pinky on my right hand. What the hell man? I think the universe hates my pinkies or something because those are the only couple of bones I've ever broken.
