Alright, since were comparing injuries:
jumping up and down on my bed when I was about 2 yrs old, leaped off bed and got the bed post in the nuts, had to have some kind of surgery for that (fortunately I don't remember this incident and I have fathered two children so I guess it didn't do much damage)
Went through the windshield of a car when I was 3 yrs. old. Was standing on the front seat when a guy ran a stop sign at a four way intersection (1953, no seatbelts in cars then).
Went over the handlebars of my Triumph motorcycle (1964 TR6, 650) when I was 18. Bike fell on me, but I was ok.
Broken big toe playing soccer (Yep, in the late 60's in the US, we did play soccer)
Broken hand while breaking boards in karate demo.
Broken ankle stepping off stone wall (I was sober).
Kidney stone attack when I was 40 (That hurt worse than any broken bone).
Slipped out in back of the police station about a month before I was due to retire and blew out my quadricep.
Got sprayed with numerous gallons of gasoline while I was attempting to gas up the police car at the end of the shift. The hose burst right in my face. Had to go to the ER and be decontaminated and have my eyes irrigated (should have sued the f***ing town).
Am now 56 yrs old and still going strong despite all of the above.
