I've never really had anything serious. The most bizarre would be how i got a scar on my forehead.
I was really young, i was getting in the car with my parents, when they hear the car door close, they turn around to check if i have my seatbelt on, and find me **** blood out of my forehead.
Nobody knows how exactly it happened, but there's a small scar on my forehead that proves it did.
Heh, scars. When I was six or seven, I was walking home from school, heard a whirring, turned around, and BAM! Caught an un-padded bicycle handle in the forehead. Seven stitches and a fairly nice scar on the right side of my forehead were the result of that. Hurt like a ****.
And if you say anything about brain damage, I'll eviscerate you.
EDIT: Renegade! Tell! We need some manly gunshot wounds in this thread. Who else but a military man do we go to?

6-8 years old... was playing with a broken fence, a bit was sticking out bit like ¬ that. Rather elastic metal. I don't know why I was playing with it, but suddenly my grip on it slipped, and not unlike a large insects claw it came down on my face, slashing my left tear duct.
Miracolously, it missed the eye and the rest of my face. Ran inside crying, didn't want to open that eye(good thing I didnt too), and the caretakers went hysterical. I don't remember too much, but eventually my mother came there and took me to a clinic, where I was patched up swiftly. The sewing stung quite a bit, but the actual cut didn't hurt... Healed just fine by the way. No cool scar across my eye or anything.
I was about ten and I had just moved into my new neighborhood and I was riding my bike down this HUGE hill with one of my friends. As I was riding down the hill at God knows what speed, me and my friend decided to play Gladiator. This act of sheer stupidity resulted in me slamming into a stop sign at about 25mph, flying forward about 10 feet, getting gravel embedded in my kneed and suffering a concussion. Fun fun.
EDIT: I was wearing a helmet and it was only by God's grace that I didn't break any limbs.

Hm my injuries seems to be nothing compared to you guys. I fell on my head trying to learn how to use a snowboard, but I only got a concussion and started to puke shortly after and when I hit the ground I think I was out cold a second or two having some really weird short dream when lying in the snow.
A near death accident, I was 8 (I think) and were just about to board a small motorboat climbing on the side.

I have been rather lucky compared to you guys. However I have done some things that probably should have killed me. Like when I was really young and stuck a needle in a wall outlet, or plugging the clipped end of a plug into the wall and touching the metal parts, or tying a bike handle to the back of my bike and doing a kind of street water ski type thing.
However my worst injury was when I decided to go down the longest hill in my neiborhood on roller blades, on of scale of 1 to 100 my skill with roller blades is a 0, I think I chipped my elbow doing that.

1) 4 years old, jumped on a jumping castle all afternoon, got a testicular hernia and had to have an operation to pull my right one out of me, back to where it should be.That was painfull..and akward
2) 5 years old, i love climbing trees. Had a treehouse and everything. Went to the highest branch (20 meters up). Fell and hit EVERY branch on the way down, landed on my back on a concrete slab that was going to be used for a pavement round the house. Just my luck. That hurt a lot, no broken bones.
3)7 years old my brother (3 yrs old at the time) decides its about time to learn to play darts. the dartboard was my right thigh.. "Aaagh i have a dart in my leg!!!!"
4)10 years old Im riding on an old philips bike at full speed on the driveway infront of my house. my little bro happens to have a broom... which somehow he felt obliged to shove through my front tire. bye bye bike, hello pain and less skin than i had before. Big ouchies.
5) 16 years old, my sister is a hockey goalie(hocky on grass, not ice hockey) shes smacking the hockey ball pretty hard as practice... i didnt know, i walk round the house as she hits the last one and dashes in to get the phone, unaware that she had "bowled me out"....yes she did, she had hit me square where the sun dont shine. I fell to the floor and squealed... passed out coz of the pain for a few seconds. Crawled back to the house with my legs as far apart as i could get em. Sat in a cold bath for an hour. Had to tell my mom and get her to drive me to hospital (embarrassment no1) and had to have a female nurse (embarasment 2) to ask and answer questions, and had to have a female doctor(embarasment 3) to put some funky gell and ultrasound machine on my nether regions to check for internal bleeding. 2 weeks of no moving lying in bed GOD THJAT HURT!!:0
6) i now repeatedly stump my toe as i run to go get the phone. Last time i counted it was the 4 time i lost my nail ...

Over the course of my career I've been the victim of many unpleasant injuries, many of which left pretty little scars that always seem to start conversations. Here are my top 5:
5) Combat knife to the thigh. Cut deep, couldn't walk right for weeks.
4) Parachute packed incorrectly, failed to open properly. No injury sustained, but damn scary none the less.
3) Friend in Armored Cav plays a joke on me (tank fires off a round the <i>exact</i> second I've got my earguards off). Hearing is borked for weeks, still get small headaches from extremely loud noises.
2) Shot in the head (side of the head, <i>side of the head!</i>). I don't remember it happening, but I'm told it was due to ricochet/missfire. Still get headaches on cold days.
1) Shot in the stomach, bullet barely misses my vital organs. I spend a week in the hospital, food is almost worse than the injury.

I was... 6-7 i think? when i was in a swimming facility, with the school and decided to skate down the side of the pool on one of those toys that swim around. Bad idea! I slipped and slammed my jaw into the pooledge with my tounge hanging out. I remember there were a loud alarm sound and then i woke up in a hospital bed. The doctors (and my parents) told me that i had bittin through my tounge. There had been a chance that i had cutted the front half of my tounge off! Luckely i didnt.
Today, in my age of 15 i still have a half-hole scar in the middle of my tounge... <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Heck I forgot one but this deserves to be seperate: 1988, I was driving my girlfriends old '73 Ford aound the outskirts of Columbia, S.C. when it overheated. Being mechanically inclined, I popped the hood and cracked the radiator cap counter-clockwise till it stopped ... there seemed to be no pressure in the radiator.
I proceeded to remove the cap and it exploded all over me, covering the upper 2/3's of my body with boiling antifreeze. As you may or may not know, antifreeze has an oily base and stuck to my skin like glue. The nearby house was uninhabited and the water was turned off, so they couldn't flush me off.
I barely remember a couple of doods in a pickup stopping and carrying us all to the hospital ER. I was in excruciating pain and the morphene did little to ease it. The first time they debreved me I wasn't forewarned and didn't take my pain meds - talk about PAIN ... the sadistic nurses peelin that dead skin off ... OUCH! Turns out most of the burns were only 1st degree and fortunately I didn't scar (but had to stay indoors all that summer).
I later found out the radiator cap was faulty which was why I got the false response at the first click...

1) We were working on an extention to my house and were digging out a foundation for it. For a few months we had a large pile of dirt in my back yard, 12-15 feet tall I'd say. I had an old scooter at the time, the kind with small bike wheels, and I would ride it down the hill. Well, one time I was doing it, and I hit a rock, flew off the scooter down the remainder of the hill, catching my left arm on a chunck of concrete, makind a 2 inch gash in my arm that supprisingly didn't bleed. I would open it up and see the fat/muscle in my arm, but no blood <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->. I had fun playing with it untell it got stiched up.
2) I was attempting to be a BMXer and built up a dirt jump 3 or so feet tall with a good lip. I hit it full speed and lost controll of the handle bars mid air, and as soon as I hit the ground I lost my grip on the bars and the bike hit a ditch. I flew over the handel bars, hitting my head on a rock, and I'm told the bike landed on me, but I don't remember as I was not concious.
3) I was in about 2nd grade and I was playing paratrooper off the jungle gym on the playground at my school with a plastic grocery sack. All was fine untill I didn't jump correctly. I cought my foot on the bar of the jungle gym, sending my face towards the ground. I hit my chest on the lower parts of it and then my footing gave way, sending me toppeling face down towards the gravel filled playground. I landed square on my face, in such a manner than I should have snapped my neck, and probly would have had I weighed 10 more lbs. I had gravel imbeded into my face that had to be taken out by a doctor.

Aside from the afore mentioned finger incident (<a href='http://http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=91539&st=0' target='_blank'>Repelling Thead</a>) I've been decently lucky. Just had my appendix taken out, throat surgery when I was 6, and my big toenail ripped off by various doors occasionally(while not guresome, damn do they hurt).
[edit] Oo Oo I just remembered. Back when I was ten I was playing with another kid hitting golf balls out into an empty field from his front lawn. We were swinging with those old plastic bats that have a diameter bigger than your head. So we were getting them flying. Well for what ever reason I was being stupid and was standing about 10 feet and around 45 degrees infront of him to the left. And well yeah I took a golf ball to the Sternum. Took a few minutes to get my breath back and to realize what happened, luckily no broken bones, at least that I know of....

So have you ever been in combat, then, Renegade? I'm assuming, considering the combat knife wound and gunshot wound to the gut.
I slipped and slammed my jaw into the pooledge with my tounge hanging out. I remember there were a loud alarm sound and then i woke up in a hospital bed. The doctors (and my parents) told me that i had bittin through my tounge. There had been a chance that i had cutted the front half of my tounge off! Luckely i didnt.
Today, in my age of 15 i still have a half-hole scar in the middle of my tounge... <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

#2 was an accident.
I'm pretty sure #1 wasn't.
Only number's 1 and 5 occured in combat.
I proceeded to remove the cap and it exploded all over me, covering the upper 2/3's of my body with boiling antifreeze. As you may or may not know, antifreeze has an oily base and stuck to my skin like glue. The nearby house was uninhabited and the water was turned off, so they couldn't flush me off.
I barely remember a couple of doods in a pickup stopping and carrying us all to the hospital ER. I was in excruciating pain and the morphene did little to ease it. The first time they debreved me I wasn't forewarned and didn't take my pain meds - talk about PAIN ... the sadistic nurses peelin that dead skin off ... OUCH! Turns out most of the burns were only 1st degree and fortunately I didn't scar (but had to stay indoors all that summer).
I later found out the radiator cap was faulty which was why I got the false response at the first click...

1) We were working on an extention to my house and were digging out a foundation for it. For a few months we had a large pile of dirt in my back yard, 12-15 feet tall I'd say. I had an old scooter at the time, the kind with small bike wheels, and I would ride it down the hill. Well, one time I was doing it, and I hit a rock, flew off the scooter down the remainder of the hill, catching my left arm on a chunck of concrete, makind a 2 inch gash in my arm that supprisingly didn't bleed. I would open it up and see the fat/muscle in my arm, but no blood <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->. I had fun playing with it untell it got stiched up.
2) I was attempting to be a BMXer and built up a dirt jump 3 or so feet tall with a good lip. I hit it full speed and lost controll of the handle bars mid air, and as soon as I hit the ground I lost my grip on the bars and the bike hit a ditch. I flew over the handel bars, hitting my head on a rock, and I'm told the bike landed on me, but I don't remember as I was not concious.
3) I was in about 2nd grade and I was playing paratrooper off the jungle gym on the playground at my school with a plastic grocery sack. All was fine untill I didn't jump correctly. I cought my foot on the bar of the jungle gym, sending my face towards the ground. I hit my chest on the lower parts of it and then my footing gave way, sending me toppeling face down towards the gravel filled playground. I landed square on my face, in such a manner than I should have snapped my neck, and probly would have had I weighed 10 more lbs. I had gravel imbeded into my face that had to be taken out by a doctor.
[edit] Oo Oo I just remembered. Back when I was ten I was playing with another kid hitting golf balls out into an empty field from his front lawn. We were swinging with those old plastic bats that have a diameter bigger than your head. So we were getting them flying. Well for what ever reason I was being stupid and was standing about 10 feet and around 45 degrees infront of him to the left. And well yeah I took a golf ball to the Sternum. Took a few minutes to get my breath back and to realize what happened, luckily no broken bones, at least that I know of....
