I'm kind of curious and I'm sure there is some funny stories out there. My shining moment was being one of two sophomores to make our varsity soccer team only to break my collar bone doing a bicycle kick in warm ups. Face palm much. ++ k for good ones

Tripping on mushrooms at Mt. Hood. Jumps were way to fast with a tailwind but did that stop me? oh no. The mushrooms encouraged me to send a 3 as big and magical as i could. It was amazing untill i overshot to flat and heard the sicking pop in my knee. One ACL = 6 months no skiing. :p

There's like this steep ramp down to the basement of my school. I thought it was a good idea to ride my bike down it, so I rode down, coudlnt stop, theres like a 2 ft flat space bewteen the end of the ramp and a wall so i rode directly into the wall and knocked my teeth out.

i got my first knife when i was about 12 so obviously i thought i was a fucking badass. i was going around stabbing stuff and being a boss when i decided to try to stab my backpack. i somehow got the angle wrong and it glanced off and went straight into my thigh. it was a solid inch into the muscle and it hurt like a bitch but i didnt want my mom to find out so i never told her. it definitely needed stitches though

I was 12, on my back patio (made entirely of bricks) scootering and trying tailwhips. I decided I needed more height and didn't have a jump so I took the picnic table that was on the patio, started at the far end and pushed. I decided that I would take a practice run first so I didn't try the trick, just popped off the end as high as I could like a badass, then got a little bit forward. Now when you think about a scooter, there are handlebars and I had no time to let go of those, so I let my face take the brute of the impact on the edge of said patio. I killed one tooth, destroyed my lips. Essentially, I curb stomped myself.

Drunk in Montreal for my 29th bday party. Slipped on some ice heading back into the basement bar and cracked my head open (literally) and somehow nailed my chin which resulted in am ambulance ride to the hospital, spending the night there and 40 something stitches in my dome piece. Good times.

3 years old jumped off a swing, broke my leg and blamed it on my parents.

Or, this ski season, tried to hand drag a tiny hip, fucked up hard, corked onto my back on the knuckle.

Growing up my best friend, Dane, and I always used to have competitions. One day we decided to have a contest involving the swing set. After about an hour of stupid stuff I decided I could stand on the swing and swing no-handed. So I did. That lasted all of about three seconds and I fell flat onto my face and stomach, knocking the wind out of me and resulting in black eyes. I didn't win that competition.

sliced my index finger open which bled for hours, after sharpening my knife and then testing how good the grip is by squeezing it and pushing against a surface.

the grip turned out to be not as good as I thought.

When I was 7 my sister smacked me in the head "accidentally" with a shovel...she was digging and I leaned in to take a look and got nailed by her. No concussion or anything like that, but did make a nice gash on my eyebrow/forehead that needed stitches.

I was once in the midst of a particularly vigorous session in the bedroom, accidentally pulled out too far, picked the wrong trajectory for re-entry, and sprained my nethers.

also two weeks ago I managed to drop an entire motorcycle on my foot at the junkyard, managing to break some shit. woops.

When I was four, I wanted to "booby trap" someone so i took a lightbulb and put it in a doorway. As I crawled away to my hiding place, I cut my knee wide open on the lightbulb by crawling over it.

i was sitting at studyhall, studying, and this one friend of mine comes over to me and says "put your finger in this stapler"..... now, being a friend, i honestly thought he would never do something like that but... i was wrong. i put my finger in there and he stapled my fucking finger. the staple literally entered from one side and came out of the other, dunno how it missed the bone. it didn't hurt, but it was fucking cool to see how i was taking it out from side to side

When I was 5, I jumped into a pile of leaves. turned out these leaves were booby-trapped with sticks. Stick cut through my pants, and my leg leaving me with a 6 inch gash on my calf. Went to the hospital, told nurse what happened, didn't believe me and thought my parents cut me with a knife. ended up with 17 stitches right before my family trip to Mexico.

thats what happened with me but it was a driver.. my cousin who was about 7 was about to go golfing. me (9) decided to watch and i got nailed in the forehead. at first it didnt hurt that much, its just the impact that shocked me and i saw the blood. then i started to cry and waited in the emergency for 7 hours to get some stitches. still have the scar now but its pretty small.

i had a fractured collarbone and decided that climbing over my fence after i locked myself out one night would be a good idea. it was like 4am and i was drunk, and naturally when i got to the top of it i totally bailed and tumbled over the thing and cracked my collarbone right through. fun times. hurt like a motherfucker.

Junior year of college, I was absolutely hammered and decided I was going to ride a mini fridge off our roof like a sled. Ended up having to get stitches in my head and broke two fingers and my thumb. I consider myself lucky. Definitely not my proudest moment though...
