Whilst Watching football??

From a very high tree and fell out?
Fell off the couch in shock when Everton actually won a game??

Was playing in a tournament and we were between games, I was sat between two pitches with my back to one of the games chatting. First thing I saw was the ball appear in front of me from behind, then the two players that were battling for the ball as it went out for a throwing went straight through the back of me.

Came around as I was being loaded into the ambulance - Broken bone in my back + ambulance bouncing it's way out of a field was not a fun I can tell you.

I like to claim it as a football injury ;)

I dislocated my knee whilst racing motocross and had to be put in a landrover and taken round the track to a waiting ambulance.. That wasn't much fun!

Ouch...At least yours sounds like a manly injury though :)
Still I was given a button for my own morphine in hospital so spent the next few days feeling quite happy about things in general.... not sure what things mind I apparently didn't make a lot of sense because of it.

Oh the morphines killer..

But I was on tramadol for a few weeks and ended up having to cold turkey off them like a smack head... Not good
 
Nearly lost a testicle and more after attempting to climb over a spiked fence which was fixed on top of a moss covered stone wall when I was 14.

Fortunately I was only 100 yards from home and managed to run back off the adrenaline. Passed out as soon as I got in and next thing I knew I was in hospital. I tried to go to the toilet and the urine came out of the hole in my scrotum and I started to panic a bit. The pain was immense. The spike has gone through my scrotum and cut my urethra.

I spent two weeks at home with a catheter and urine bag strapped to my leg whilst my urethra healed. Could have been a lot worse.
Outch fetched tears to my eyes reading that......
 
Not my accident, but a couple years ago, on New Years Day, my mum was taking a big bag of empty bottles from the bin in the garden where we dumped them the night before. It had been raining and we had ceramic tiles on our dining room floor at that point and my mum had slippers on without any real grip.
Walking through the dining room, she slipped, the bag of bottles fell to the hard floor, smashing nearly all of them and she instinctively put her hand down to stop her fall, but went down onto broken glass. The corner of a broken, square-shaped bottle (like a whiskey bottle), went striaght up into her wrist, severing a tendon, most nerves and veins but luckily stopping just short of a major artery. Her watch was pushed inside her arm from it too, which had to be dug out.
She very nearly lost her hand from the wait for surgery due to the huge amount of injured people on New Years', and me spending New Years' Day mopping up a huge amount of my mum's blood was surreal.

Couple months later it was announced we could put bottles in the recycling, rather than having to go to a bottle bank. If only that came a bit sooner...
 

I drowned in hole left by the missing beam of a sandbreak on Eastbourne beach. Came back to life after a bit of help from someone huffing and puffing and what not.

So I'm basically an honoury member of the Ironborn.
 
I once reversed a 4 & half ton van into a stacked stone wall outside a posh house near delamere forest knocking it over doing a U turn .. good job the fellas drive in was massive it gave me time to escape
