Accidents Will Happen

Many, many years, mid 80s, ago we (my father and a much younger me) were late leaving for the Thistle game. My younger self was obsessed about not missing kick-off and when we got to Queens Cross the game was just kicking off so I sprinted across the road. I didn't make my destination as I was hit by a car. My father saw me go flying in the air and was convinced I was dead by the time I hit the ground. 

Somehow I managed to escape with nothing more than a concussion and an overnight stay in the Western Infirmary.  When the ambulance arrived I was insistent on still going to the game. What a fud I was (am).

These were just accidents (I think). Not included anyone trying to do me harm. Was having a rock-flinging fight/contest with a pal (Fife kids make their own entertainment) and my pal got me with a beauty. The ear cushioned the blow.

Nearly choked to death unblocking a hoover (by sucking it). 

Chased and bitten by a Alsatian. He was South African.

Got a decent bite off another dog when stopping it attacking mine as a kid. Spent Cup Final day in Ninewells A&E

Hit in head with a wooden mallet

Hit own thumb with heavy mallet knocking some metal pins into ground

Stabbed with a pencil (still got the lead in my hand) by a P&B poster

Shot in the foot (just an air gun) - deserved it tbf

Various high speed road bike (like cheese grating your arms and legs) and mountain bike crashes

Jumped off a balcony and landed on my nuts on the railing/banister below

Fell through one of those roundabouts (as a kid) shaped like a spider's web and it hit me on the back of the head (bloody)

Jumped my bmx and landed on my head (no helmet, very bloody, forgot where I lived)

Was in Northumbria and was horse riding on the moors near Hexham. We were galloping along a rocky path and my horse tripped and fell, I went flying and fractured my pelvis.

The worse thing was that I don't think they thought I was that badly hurt and made me ride back to the stables, absolute agony. It was only once I got back off that it was apparent that I couldn't actually walk and they took me to hospital. When I got there and was waiting to be checked by the doctor, the hospital priest came in and asked how I was and if I needed anything - he was just trying to be nice but I wasn't quite at the last rites stage.

Can you not just put the exciting ones up, surely everybody's had some of those.
