My story: When I was 3 I got run over by a biker in front of the White House! Obviously there was a lot of attention, including: a Navy officer, A bicyclist paramedic, an ambulance, a fire truck, two police cars, and a small group of people. I ended up with 3 stitches to the forehead.
Other than that, nothing eventful, got stung by bees a couple times, no broken bones, no cavities, etc...

I was hit by a mini van while riding my electric scooter around age 11. Luckily all that I hit was my face. I had to get 27 stiches in my lip but that was all.

When I was 14 I broke my arm skate boarding, this was the end of my skate boarding career for the most part.

I haven't ever been stung by a bee, so I guess i'm lucky there.

haha

Cracked the growth plate in my right knee. I was running in a farmers field and I stepped in a gopher hole. My leg went deep enough that my knee bent backwards. Luckily it healed properly so one leg is not shorter then the other.

Been stung by a bumble bee a few times. A wasp once or twice.

Otherwise nothing bad.

On another note a friend of mine was quading retardedly and hit a bump. She flew of and caught her neck on a barbed wire fence. She had 27 stitches on the inside of her neck and 46 on the outside.

It triple posted... I didn't do this.

The triple post was a lag thing I think... Not my fault.

I fell off a high porch and landed on my chin, biting through my lower lip completely. This happened when I was 8...I think. Anyway, I turned out beautiful still!

shattered my elbow and had one cavity been stung by a bee about 3 times and bit by a yellow jacket once

Bicycled downhill into a parked car while I wasn't paying attention. Went over the handlebars and busted the windshield with my head (no helmet). Proceeded to get up, ring the doorbell, and apologize for putting a massive dent in the hood and destroying the windshield. ($750!)

Got hit by a car while bicycling, it stopped, then reversed off of me. I then got driven by the lady that hit me to a doctor to get my ankle stitched up. Then the cops told me it was my fault because I was bicycling on the sidewalk -.-

Fell off a bicycle onto a trebuchet part, landed on a half inch diameter bolt that went an inch into my thigh. Off to the hospital again... and more stitches, this time for a puncture wound.

Multiple slip ups with xacto knives... Managed slice my finger up pretty bad once, waited 4 hours in the hospital, gave up and went home without getting stitches.

Got sliced in the arm by an asian kid with a jacknife while in a math class, then lied to the administration to make it look like an auto shop accident so he wouldn't get expelled.

Singed my eyebrows off with a puddle of burning liquid butane that I thought had already gone out. NEVER BLOW ON A BURNING PUDDLE OF BUTANE. JUST DON'T DO IT.

Accidentally got my shoe soaked in burning alcohol. Luckily, I mananged to stamp it out before it burnt me.

Kicked a doorframe so hard that it broke my toe... then walked about 3km uphill to a hospital, only to get told they couldn't do anything other than prescribe some painkillers. Took a taxi back.

Accidently managed to send my longboard through a glass door of a church, while longboarding inside said church. ($150!)

Fell on my face on a longboard, slid like 3 feet along the pavement on my face. Almost bit through my upper lip in the process, as well as my tongue. Spent the night with a bag of frozen peas on my face.

When I was little, managed to trip and fall on a pencil. It hit me about 1" above and to the left of my right eye. A little further down and things would have gone REALLY badly.

Also, managed to step on a hornet while in bare feet. That also sucked.

Went into anaphylactic shock as a baby, after being exposed to penecillin (I have a anaphylactic allergy to it, it turns out) xD

Like I said... I'm amazed I'm still alive. I obviously live a charmed life.

I managed to somehow get a fluid viral infection in my hip joint when I was 23... I spent 21 days in the hospital with a top temp of 105.7 lost 30lbs in those 21 days, and on the day I was supposed to leave, I had a pulmonary embolism. The clot from that got chewed up by my heart and spat out the other side, resulting in a nice bit of scar tissue in one of my lungs.

Fritter's stories of being burned reminded me of something that happened to me.

High school physics class. Fun demos once every week or so. Flammable gas (propane?) blown through soap solution to produce bubbles. Bubbles highly flammable, but can be safely held while burning, because water in bubbles absorbs heat. Demonstration of specific heat capacity. All interested students receive handfulls of bubbles, teacher lit them all on fire. No problems, good demonstration. Still bubbles leftover--take handful of bubbles in right hand, hold upwards, as usual. Take more bubbles in left hand, hold sideways above right hand. Plan: ignite bubbles in right hand, fire reaches bubbles in left hand, chain reaction. Successful--fun to watch. However, left arm too close--no bubbles, no water film, no heat absorption. Flame lasted less than one second, no serious injuries, but lots of hair burnt off arms. Scent of burnt hair. Not pleasant.

Later in the day. Clementine for lunch. Smelled of burnt hair plus citrus for rest of day. Highlight of high school career.
