I got hit on the head by some concrete that had a piece of steel reinforcing rod in it (when I was about 8, i think) that punctured my skull and whatever that membrane is called that covers the brain. There's still a depression where the thing it, although it got repaired in hospital (where I was stuck for several weeks)
Again, when I was small I apparently stuck my hands in a go-kart chain and slashed my fingers to ribbons, although i don't remember it at all, but my mother says that the doctors had to sew all the flesh back on (or summat like that) it does explain why my fingers are all weird and manky.
When I was a baby, however, my mother told me that a dog jumped up at my pram and sent me flying out of the thing, smashing my jaw on the pavement, and as I was at the top of some steps at the time, apparently I went quite a long way.
the worst accident that i remember clearly was coming off a toboggan on a dry slope and shredding all the skin off one side - now that hurt! hence why I now don't tan on one side and on my back. oh and I hit a retaining wall at the bottom as well, which also hurt. these days such a place wouldnt be allowed to operate, but this was the 70s and H&S laws were a lot laxer.
