I've broken my upper right leg bone when I fell of a tractor as when I was 12.
I got in an accident when I was 16 with my moped with a car smashing into my side, tearing the ligament in my right ankle. I still have a slight limp because of that.
I design and build combat robots, so I work with metal with sharp edges so getting cuts and bruises are par of the course. There isn't a robot that I've built that doesn't have some blood of me in there somewhere.
Last year during the summer I was helping to set up the combat arena at Zandvoort when a 40kg floorboard slipped from my hands and landed full force right behind the safety tip of my shoe, breaking my left big toe in the length.
That's all the major ones. I'm not counting a few fingertips being broken or a lost nail, those are pretty minor. They set pretty well and nails grow back.
My injuries are pretty much to be expected with hobbies like mine (tractor pulling, robot combat). The floorpanel was a bit unexpected.
