While walking out of a play when I was about 5, I was hit in the face with a heavy glass door. My grandmother was walking in front of me and let go of the door, thinking my mother was holding it. She wasn't. No stitches, but I have a half-inch scar between my eyebrows. Barely visible, really only when I frown.

I was hit by a car while riding my bike when I was about 13. The car wasn't going very fast, so no stitches again, but I have two scars where I connected with the pavement, one on my ankle and a dime-size scar on my knee.

I was playing basketball with some guys at church when I was 16. As I jumped up for a rebound, my legs got tangled in some guy's arms or something, and as I came down, my head slammed into the gym floor. Blacked out for about 10 seconds, tried to sit up, then very quickly lay back down again. Ended up in the hospital the next morning for a cat scan as I was still feeling dizzy. No permanent damage, though it was definitely a concussion.

While at a ballroom lesson in college, I was dancing with a friend of mine. I had on open-toed latin shoes, and he was wearing big, clunky sneakers. During one of the dance moves, my big toenail got caught on the bottom of one of his shoes, and he literally ripped half my toenail off. Hurt a lot, but it managed to all heal up ok, and I can't even tell it happened.

When my sister and I were kids, I was tickling her and then stopped, thinking I was going to get in trouble with my parents for teasing my little sister. She said "Do it again!", so I did - and she fell, chipping her front teeth on the kitchen counter.

One my uncles has lived through more accidents than most people have a right to live through. The most spectacular was when he fell off a roof.

Onto a piece of rebar. (For those of you who don't know, rebar is a name for the steel rods that are used to reinforce concrete. Generally have some kind of rough surface and are quite rusty, in addition to being about a quarter- to half-inch in diameter). The rebar went into his thigh and came out just below his belly button. Managed to miss everything (didn't puncture any internal organs at all). My uncle actually pulled himself off of the rebar so he wouldn't have to go through the agony of some guy cutting it while it was inside of him (one end was imbedded in concrete already). He's fine now, but works as an office-based civil engineer instead of in construction!

STOP IT. Please.

Oh, and to make this post worthwhile, I had forgotten about the time I almost drowned in my friend's pool when I was 4.

No No, it wasn't a pool, it was a well, and you were 10-ish!!

My worst accident was probably when I was 10. I was chasing one of my older sister's friends, and she ran into a room and slammed the door right before I went through. The top half of the door is glass, and the bottom half is wood. So, my arms (which were straight out from my body) went right throught the glass, and my lower body got stopped dead by the wood. I suffered a very serious cut to my left arm. I looked down at my arm to see a half inch flab of skin and muscle hanging from my arm. I came so close to cutting the major artery in my arm that the doctors could actually see it pumping before they stitched me up. Naturally, they thought this was fascinating, and were calling passing nurses and doctors in to come look.
