1. I was learning how to ski when I was 3 years old. I was going up the hill on those round plate-like lifts that you put between your legs, and when I got off, and threw it away, I managed to hit myself on the chin, while my tongue was between my teeth. I bit hard enough to section a small part of my tongue (it was completely loose in my mouth). Needless to say within a few seconds there was a circle of blood about 3 feet wide around me. I got brought to the hospital and, since I still had the tongue bit in my mouth, they could stitch it back. So I have a few stitch marks on the tip of my tongue.
2. When I was a teenager, we lived in an apartment building where the main door was made of glass, with a window the same height right next to it. One day, that window got broken (I don't know how) and didn't get replaced for a few weeks, so out of laziness we all ended up passing through the open hole in the wall instead of opening the door next to it. When they finally replaced it, and put a red tape about eye level of teen-aged me, we returned to using the door, but a few days later, I just bought some cool thing and was completely absorbed by it, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and out of habit just went through the window (I didn't see the red tape because I was looking down at the thing I had in my hands). I broke the window, fell on the broken glass with both hands and had another batch of stitches all around my palms.
Two worth mentioning :
