    Almost lost an eye as a child, the nail missed it by less than an inch. Wrecked my knee playing soccer years ago, it's ok now but never 100% again. Hurt my wrist skiing some time ago, annoying but nothing major. Rolled an ankle, lost some toenails, dealt with road rash. I've actually been pretty lucky.

    My right foot is in technicolor at the moment, not sure what broke (soccer again) but it's going to be a couple of weeks before I can play again.

    Meh, kids! Chainsaw wound behind the left leg, two arteries torn (out of the three going down to the foot), post-tibial nerve cut, 10 inches scar.

    HA cut of my finger with a fridge. Yes a fridge. Also got stabbed in a fight, and my horse Murachi (rip mia muca) in concert with gravity was hilarious to some but dear god what a prick. I have taken many a jumping course sans-horse. Had a sense of humor I am sure of it.

    I have never wounded myself seriously, and I have no plans of doing that in the future, either. I've done alot of work on the farm through the years, but all my limbs are intact thus far. Most, perhaps all, of my scars come from pretty trivial things, like when I once was going to cut a frozen American muffin in two halves, and ended up cutting stright through my left index finger, through the nail. I probably missed the bone, but the scar is still pretty pronounced many years after.
    Runes for good luck:

    Gah! I forgot my main one!

    When I was in nursery, a TV fell off the wall and landed on my head. I don't remember it, but apparently it happened just around when my grandparents were picking me up, and I was staggering around like I was drunk.

    Had problems with the hearing in my left-ear ever since.

    Bet the story explains a lot doesn't it...

    Injuries...

    Front teeth knocked out (as a child - luckily new grew back)
    Fell from the top of a tree and broke my wrist + banged up my face.
    Fell off from the top a football goal and broke my other wrist.
    Got stabbed in my thigh with a 26 cm Survival knife (Rambo knife) which cut an artery.
    Crushed my ankle which ended any athletic career I might have had (tibia snapped in two and fibula in several pieces - still not 100%).
    Broke fibula in the other leg during training in Scotland (not treated).
    Have glass fragments still surfacing the skin of my head after a car crash back in 90' or is it from a bottle that got crushed on my head in Scotland in 93'?

    I guess that's the worst of them...

    Nothing too serious, thankfully. Opened up my thigh during a moterbike accident... 30/40 stitches to get the muscle and skin back together. Check out my old playground (Motorcycling) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hinOBl3H_XU Thats not me on the bike, just showing what the road is like.

    That is actually the truth, but he would have to kill us, if he really told us that.
