hehe, my favorite one consited of me almost rearanging my face.
first day in cancun we had a beach side room, so we all go trooping out to play in the clear water. I love bodysurfing, and the waves were cool so I was catching a few realy good ones (it is such a friken rush). On the last one I cought something badly and ended up getting tumbled and face planted... about an inch away from a big arsed rock.
I came outa the water to our room with blood all over my face (my hand covering most of it), my brother freaks, I get in and realize all I had done was split my lip (but between that and the salt water everything was fun <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->).

My worst injuries are pretty tame. I got my finger stepped on by a hockey skate once, I didn't even need stitches. I've still got a scar, but I don't even remember it cause I was a little kid.
I also had whooping cough for like a month, which sucked pretty hard. Other than that, I've never broken a bone, had stitches, or had an operation. I think I'm going to get one occasion where I receive all 18 years of punishment I've been dodging in a horrible accident. Like a 70 car pileup or something.
It was so amazingly scary, going down a hill at full speed, and then noticing that you can't slow down. =/
The two people cracking up when they told me what happened didn't help either. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Oooh I could go on for ages if I counted all th cuts and other not so major things, so I'll just mention the serious things (in no real order):
1) On a night hike along the east coast of Wales, while lost, we decided not to climb down the cliff and instead take the long way round, I jumped off a 3 foot embankment down to the road we should have stayed on in the first place. Caught my foot at the top and landed with on my left knee and right forearm. The tarmac removed all the skin from my knee down to the bone and I snaped my ulna. Like any real man I got straight back up, ran around/thrashed about a bit before collapsing into a ditch and promptly went into shock. Lying in a ditch at 2am in what seems like the middle of nowhere, whilst everybody else is panicing, almost certain you are about to die (I was completly numb from whatever mix of pain killers my brain had decided to release) is an odd experience.
2) A nasty scar on the bottom right corner of my chin from a chav's gold ring when he knocked me out with a single punch after I stepped into a fight he and his friends were having with friend of mine.
3) Industrial paint thinners my eyes is something I never want to experience ever again.
4) Being an university chemistry student I've also had a lot of chemical burns, although the worst I've had in a lab was when I was getting some liquid nitrogen from the tank and for one reason or another it soaked into the big welding gloves we have to wear. You may know how cold liquid nitrogen is, but nothing can prepare you for how cold it actually feels as it freezes and kills your skin. Had a nice big black patch across my knuckles for a few weeks till the new skin came through.
5) Fell off the kitchen table when I was a kid. Naturaly I landed head first and shattered my skull. If you run your hand over my forehead and particually the top and sides of my head and you'll feel some truely horriffic ridges where bone fused back together.
6) So many electric shocks from the mains supply I now have a slight nervous twitch from it that becomes really obvious when I've been drinking (its harder to suppress when I'm drunk).
7) Finally two surgical scars from when it was feared I was delevoping testicular cancer. You can guess where. Yes I still have both (it wasn't cancer after all).
I was impaled through my cheek by a wooden table. I was two years old, jumping on the couch, then I went flying over the thing and hit the coffee table. I'm just happy I can't remember it.
How did I forget my second one, it happened about 3 months ago: OK, in phys-ed (yes, I'm in high school) we were playing Team Handball (very awesome game when everyone follows the rules). Our team had one too many players, so I got to sit out for the first 10 minutes. In that time, I paced up and down the field. Halfway down, my kneecap flew out of socket and I fell to the ground screaming. People started laughing, 'cause they had no idea what happened. Well, after what felt like 5 minutes, the teacher came over and asked if I was in any pain. I told him to look at my knee, which was about an inch and a half to the left (left knee, of course). He ran off to get help after stopping play. Again, like 5 minutes later they show up with a wheelchair, which the nurse then SITS IN. How useless is that? They told me the ambulance was on the way, and when they got to the school, they missed with the needle thrice before finally sticking the vein. Then they gave me morphine which did nothing. Luckily, my knee came back into place when they put me on the stretcher.

Wiped out from my biking going quite fast, and unfortunately the driveway hadn't been smoothed out with the road, hit it at a chance-of-a-lifetime-wrong-angle, jack-knifed, and I slammed my head against the pavement. However that wasn't the injury; I landed on and against my left arm, and the radius was fractured/dislocated or something, doctor didn't give specifics. Luckily I had a helmet on. Or I'd have suffered much more greatly.
However it doesn't stop the fact I have a longstanding history of head injuries, thrown about my years:
-Hit the coffeetable -Hit by house doors -Hit by CAR doors -Rollerblading accident; fell over and smacked against floor -Iceskating; slipped backward, and hit back of head, almost having a concussion (my fault) -Various instances of metal toy cars being thrown against forehead by brother.

Oh, and the worst one I have ever known of was one of my friends who got his scrotum caught (and promptly cut open) on a fence as he was climbing over it.
Alright, I'll give you <i>a little</i> info on the knife incident. It occured in Afghanistan in 2001. Happy?

I didn't fall on it, and I have yet to cross paths with Osama. It happened because I was overconfident and I underestimated my opponent.

Did you keep the knife? I mean, come on. Don't tell you didn't keep the weapon you were stabbed with. I'd keep it.

Why <i>would</i> I keep it?
6 or 7 years ago, my family was taking a vacation at a resort.
While everyone was gone, I took my crappy bike, and went up to this REALLY steep road.
I rode down at full speed, and when I started nearing the bottom, I slammed on my brakes.
Unfortunately for me, I didn't notice the small metal object flying off my bike when I hit my brakes.
The back of a pickup truck was the last thing I saw before waking up with a bag of ice on my head.
That's right, I got hit by a parked car.
I also had whooping cough for like a month, which sucked pretty hard. Other than that, I've never broken a bone, had stitches, or had an operation. I think I'm going to get one occasion where I receive all 18 years of punishment I've been dodging in a horrible accident. Like a 70 car pileup or something.
The two people cracking up when they told me what happened didn't help either. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
1) On a night hike along the east coast of Wales, while lost, we decided not to climb down the cliff and instead take the long way round, I jumped off a 3 foot embankment down to the road we should have stayed on in the first place. Caught my foot at the top and landed with on my left knee and right forearm. The tarmac removed all the skin from my knee down to the bone and I snaped my ulna. Like any real man I got straight back up, ran around/thrashed about a bit before collapsing into a ditch and promptly went into shock. Lying in a ditch at 2am in what seems like the middle of nowhere, whilst everybody else is panicing, almost certain you are about to die (I was completly numb from whatever mix of pain killers my brain had decided to release) is an odd experience.
2) A nasty scar on the bottom right corner of my chin from a chav's gold ring when he knocked me out with a single punch after I stepped into a fight he and his friends were having with friend of mine.
3) Industrial paint thinners my eyes is something I never want to experience ever again.
4) Being an university chemistry student I've also had a lot of chemical burns, although the worst I've had in a lab was when I was getting some liquid nitrogen from the tank and for one reason or another it soaked into the big welding gloves we have to wear. You may know how cold liquid nitrogen is, but nothing can prepare you for how cold it actually feels as it freezes and kills your skin. Had a nice big black patch across my knuckles for a few weeks till the new skin came through.
5) Fell off the kitchen table when I was a kid. Naturaly I landed head first and shattered my skull. If you run your hand over my forehead and particually the top and sides of my head and you'll feel some truely horriffic ridges where bone fused back together.
6) So many electric shocks from the mains supply I now have a slight nervous twitch from it that becomes really obvious when I've been drinking (its harder to suppress when I'm drunk).
7) Finally two surgical scars from when it was feared I was delevoping testicular cancer. You can guess where. Yes I still have both (it wasn't cancer after all).
How did I forget my second one, it happened about 3 months ago:
OK, in phys-ed (yes, I'm in high school) we were playing Team Handball (very awesome game when everyone follows the rules). Our team had one too many players, so I got to sit out for the first 10 minutes. In that time, I paced up and down the field. Halfway down, my kneecap flew out of socket and I fell to the ground screaming. People started laughing, 'cause they had no idea what happened. Well, after what felt like 5 minutes, the teacher came over and asked if I was in any pain. I told him to look at my knee, which was about an inch and a half to the left (left knee, of course). He ran off to get help after stopping play. Again, like 5 minutes later they show up with a wheelchair, which the nurse then SITS IN. How useless is that? They told me the ambulance was on the way, and when they got to the school, they missed with the needle thrice before finally sticking the vein. Then they gave me morphine which did nothing. Luckily, my knee came back into place when they put me on the stretcher.
How does slamming your face first into the back of a pickup truck at incredible speeds sound?

8.) Oh yea when I was in 2nd grade a dog bit me on my eyebrow and I had to get stitches there too <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I have more injuries from when I was younger, but the one from 1st grade was the only really bad one.
/edit - Damn Renegade, you're one tough bastard! It's good to know that you were the victor of your knife battle <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
However it doesn't stop the fact I have a longstanding history of head injuries, thrown about my years:
-Hit the coffeetable
-Hit by house doors
-Hit by CAR doors
-Rollerblading accident; fell over and smacked against floor
-Iceskating; slipped backward, and hit back of head, almost having a concussion (my fault)
-Various instances of metal toy cars being thrown against forehead by brother.
I predict my death will be head-related.
