Getting impaled by branches through my lower abdomen because I was an idiot on my jet ski, looking behind at my sister being pulled whom I thought was telling me to go faster (she wasn't) to which I did, right into the bank.
Fun!

Haven't had too many injuries, but there is one thing...
About 2-3 times a year I will slip a rib out of place. And dear lord does it suck.
I did a lot of horseback riding in my 20's, and at one point I made the terrible decision of riding a damned Arabian Thoroughbred. The horse made crack users come off as tranquil.
Anyway, we were riding along a nice trail, nothing out of the ordinary, no roads, it's a private area so I was relaxed in the saddle talking to the others. Suddenly, my horse gave off a huge neigh and jumped straight upwards. As in, STRAIGHT up. I flew a good height and came crashing down on the back end of the saddle. It was a VERY hard landing, and anyone proclaiming that women don't hurt from punches to the crotch, is ignorant.
Long story short, I bruised pretty badly. I went to see a doctor and had to bring 2 of the others as witnesses to emphasize that I had not been the victim of sexual assault.
What had scared the glorified hamburger? A small twig on the ground. None of the other horses had reacted in any shape or form.
I split my eyebrow when I was little by running head first into a pingpong table.
Also at one point about probably 18-19 years ago I stepped on a piece of broken glass which imbedded itself in my foot at an angle which allowed the wound to close over the piece and then about 3-4 years later it somehow just fell out one day.
Those are probably the strangest, although splitting your eyebrow is probably a fair common injury when you dive head first into a steel frame. But the glass one is definitely pretty strange.
One time I sneezed so hard I broke a rib.
Third time I've broken a rib, but that's the strangest of the three.
When I was a server many years ago, I was carrying a heavy stack of plates, and somehow a crusty bread roll got wedged between my wrist and the plates. The roll sliced open my wrist...
Here is something to believe in!
Yup, women's frames are a lot better. Easier to leap on to/off as well due to the better frame.

I had a work buddy when I worked in a super market who had a fillet knife in his hand while he was lifting some stuff (idiot, right). He somehow managed to stick the fillet knife through his left thigh.
Slid down a slide when I was a kid, but someone had put a wooden pike at the bottom of it. The point caught me on the right side, right in between my thigh and groin. Bout an inch to the left and I may have been a girl.

I had part of my lip torn off at a water park after standing up to a bully. He was wearing rings in the pool and when he punched me, he sliced and ripped off part of my lip. I remember all the kids screaming as blood just poured out of my mouth and turning the lazy river into the red river lol. Had to get a lot of stitches and now it is constantly swolen inside.

When I was released from the hospital at 6 months of age I had survived more than most people.
Near death by toilet paper holder...
Backdraft in the toilet while I was sitting on it. I got startled and almost severed my arm on the jagged edge of the toilet paper holder... It was a lot sharper than it needed to be.
