I know I posted injuries once but reading everyone else's makes me think of more times I've hurt myself. How sad is that?
I once had a bungie cord snap back and nail me in the forehead, huge bump and a horrible headache but I got to miss school.
I got a slight concussion the first time I rode X at the Six Flags Magic Mountian (Valencia, California). Makes all the rides more interesting really, it didn't occur to me I might have a concussion until I thought "I've never almost blacked out on this ride before."
My brother gave me a fat lip when we were little because he accidentally threw a rock at me. But it's okay because when we were really little I gave him a black eye. He used to take toys from me and one day I took it back, hit him with it, and then gave it back to him. I don't remember it but my mom likes to tell that story.
Damn I'm accident prone, but I don't injure myself doing anything dangerous which is even worse. See my boyfriends' knees are all fucked up but that's because when he was in the Army they gave them the wrong place for a night jump so he and his unit jumped into a grouping of trees. He proceeded to crash into a tree and fall forty feet hitting branches on the way down and landing on his knees. Me, I break my thumb with a bowling ball and not even <i>while</i> bowling.

The story of the fainting Christa:
Situation 1: I've been watching saturday morning cartoons for a few hours when my mom calls me an my bros for breakfast. I jump up, and run for the kitchen. About two steps up to the level of the kitchen I faint and land on my littlest bro.
Situation 2: I'm in the holiday trailer on the top bunk, but I think I'm on the bottom bunk. So I wake up having to go to the bathroom and I swing my legs over the side of the bed and look for the floor. I fall off the bed, land on my ass, say "I'm alright", then faint.
Situation 3: I'm in bed (at home this time), dozing. My littlest brother faints in the bathroom that's next to my room because he cut open his finger and his body didn't want to handle it. So I jump up, make sure he's ok, then run and get my dad. My dad comes in and gets my bro downstairs to the kitchen. Then I faint.
Other interesting injury:
I go in for a lay-up too fast and run into the metal edge of some pull-out bleacher stairs. Not fun.

I put my tooth through my bottom lip when I was really little. And it wasn't just my lip, it was way below. So now I have this scar where your dimple should be on your chin. Its funny. Most people don't know its a scar

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

I haven't really had a major injury. I pulled a tendon in my leg once (the one between the ass and knee on the back of the leg. Totally blanking on the name of it at this instant.)
I think I had an extremely minor concussion once after I got crosschecked in the head playing hockey.
But that's it. Knocks on wood.

The only major injuries I ever had were a broken arm, and a cut above my eye.
I broke my arm by falling off a kid's plaything. It was really low, but somehow I managed to fall down really badly, and I broke both bones in the lower part of my right arm. At first I didn't feel anything, I was kinda dazed by the fall, but when I lifted my arm it bended in a place it really shouldn't bend. It was really.
I got the cut in a fight with a classmate. I tried to hit him, but missed. He hit me above the eye. I tried to kick him again before I realized I was bleeding. Ran to First Aid and they mended it there. If I had stopped myself from touching it all the time, it would've healed nicely, but now I have a little scar.
