Horsing around on a trampoline sent a tooth through my lip.
Then I fracture my left elbow by... [sub]falling off a damn see-saw...[/sub]

Compared to everyone else, this isn't impressive..
Riding path with fairly long grass, me on a horse. I was told the horse found a hole that tripped her, hit my head on a rock (i did wear a helmet) hard enough to actually give me a concussion - on top of that i wasn't breathing. Considering the state of my ankle at the time, i'm pretty sure she landed on me.
I remember galloping down the path aaand.. (faint image of the paramedic calling my dad, who works there too) then nothing until i'm in the hospital where some nurse shone bright effing lights in my eyes.
Helmet had a dent in it the size of my fist, don't want to think of what would have happened without it....
I was completely miserable for about a week and a half though, lights, sounds, smells.. heck anything would trigger a headache that felt like being hit in the head with a baseball bat (i do know what that feels like, but that is another story).
(horse was fine, but was cleaning grass out of her gear for weeks...)

Fell down the stairs when I was about 4 and went head first into a wall, I'm sure that affected my brain negativly, although I did drink lots of milk.......and there was no blood, I didn't have to go to the hospital and it only hurt for a few minutes.
I haven't been in any serious accidents, though when I was a baby I apparently managed to get hold of my dad's razor in the bathroom and cut myself. I was only little, so I don't remember it, but according to my mum I ended up cutting my hand with my dad's razor. There was blood everywhere, she said, like in a horror film, but when they cleaned me up and took me to hospital (only round the corner, fortunately) they looked at it, and just stuck a plaster on it, it was that trivial. Didn't even need stitches or anything.
However, I did almost drown once. I was kayaking on Bala Lake (in Wales) with the Boy's Brigade, I was probably around 12 at the time, and I was messing around and my kayak capsized. Completely flipped upside down, so I was stuck tight in a kayak, upside down, underwater. Couldn't remember how to get out in an emergency so I was struggling. I was only under for a few seconds before I managed to get out, but it felt like ages. Have to say I was somewhat lucky, otherwise I wouldn't be here now.
Oh, and my younger brother cut his knee open when he crashed his bike into a road sign. Had to have stitches put in for two weeks. And when my dad and brother were playing in a charity game at our local rugby club (home of the tallest rugby posts in the world, apparently
), one of the guys on our team ended up breaking his neck. My mum had to drive him to hospital in the middle of the game, driving really slowly so she didn't accidentally make things worse (the road the rugby club is on is full of speed bumps). He was fine in the end, though I think he was almost completely paralysed and can't play rugby again because of the damage.

I dreaded see-saws. See-saws are evil.Insert Comedy Here said:
Or rather: twice-as-heavy brothers on the other side of the see-saw are evil.
I'm good(boring) boy, I don't get into any trouble(physical injuries).
But there are 2 things worth mentioning.
1.A scar on my left arm about 10cm long. I cut myself at a swimming pool which had different corridors, divided by some foam balloon-thingis. They were rapped around some pieces of wire, and one of them was edging out. When I dived in I cut myself really bad.
2. (Can't remember the year, but I do have some temporal hints.)
When I was watching the premier of "Mission On Mars"(or something like that), and I was really excited, and on the edge of my chair(literally). It fell into the window bookcase, but I jumped in time. The glass shattered, and it came raining down on me. I was really sacred. But when I checked myself, I figured I was ok, and all the glass missed me. Then mom cam and freaked out because I was bleeding a lot(albeit I didn't feel any pain). It was like one of those anime scenes when a guy slices someone in half, but the body splits open after a few seconds of waiting.
And that's about it

The worst thing I've ever had was running out of the pool (A. Mistake #1) then running into the concrete garage (B. Mistake #2) and slipped backwards and hit my head.
I was fine though, weirdly.
oh I got a few I think
- Fractured my big toe by dropping a brick on it, it was in 4 pieces(the bone that is).
- Removed the skin from my right knee by sliding down a tarmac hill with gravel on it (cool scar though)
- Got knocked over at the schoolyard fell into some bushes. After I got up everybody was screaming, turn out I kind of made a 4 cm cut near my temple which was bleeding quite a bit. only took 4 stitches though.
- Tried to jump over a chair and succeeded, appart from my little toe which kinda slammed into it and broke... chair 1 me 0
- While wrestling some guy in a random class he suddenly let go and I went flying headfirst into a table, it hurt quite a lot so I decided to sit down. More screaming happened and when I open my eyes I see this nice pool of blood. A few stitches and I was fine. (got a cool scar over the center of my brow from that one)
- Playing football on a beach I made a sliding and managed the get my little toe (the other one) caught behind a stone burried under the sand. hooray for another broken toe.
- At school in the gym I more or less launched myself during some ring swinging practice. Gravity got the best of me and it resulted in a broken arm.
- And last but not least, while snowboarding I decided to do some tricks in the halfpipe, on the way back down I smash with my chin into my cousins helmet. Resulted in a nasty headache for my cousin while I broke the piece of bone that hold my 4 front teeth straight out of my jaw. (also a lot of blood and stitches but that seems rather minor compared to the jaw breaking thingy)

Never had any bad accidents, the worst is probably falling off a bench and hitting the floor with my face. Had a huge scab for a while...
i've been hit by a van whilst cycling, rolled up and over, no damage except a few bruises and i broke my nose again.
Suppose i oughta consider myself lucky

I'm still on the slow recovery from being hit by a car in a similar situation last September. I was biking and the car made a turn without looking...knocked me into the air and I landed upside down on a fire hydrant...wear your helmet kids...Macgyvercas said:
Astonishing how many got hit by a car in one or another way...
Worst thing that happened to me was a sprained wrist while learning snowboarding. Happened around noon, took the afternoon off to get it looked at, went back snowboarding the next morning because fuck pain, who needs pain when you've got a whole mountain chain to snowboard on.

I've been pretty lucky when I comes to accidents, I flew over the handlebars of my bike a few times and I have had some pretty serious looking wipeouts when skiing but I always seem to walk away with just a few (or many) bruises. Never been hit by a car though, it must have been frikking scary for you Macgyvercas, I personally don't think my nerves would recover from that.
