Well I've got plenty of injuries in my lifetime, some worse and some, well not better, maybe less worse?
Let's see:
-Busted my head open half a dozen times due to various reasons (hitting the back of a truck, hitting the end of my parents' bed, etc.).
-Electrocuted myself a couple of times (once by inserting a screwdriver into a light socket which threw me across the room, but in my defence I was really young back then).
-Broke my wrist twice (once by running into a wall,and the second time by tripping).
-Got hit by a car three times (first time I had a headwound, second time I was lucky, and by the third time my luck had run out and I broke my leg badly (I had to have a rod inserted to be able to walk again)).
-Fell of a rooftop once, which wasn't so bad if it weren't for the fact that i hit the one pillar in miles around and nearly broke my leg.
-There is some very mild scarring (fortunately it's almost invisible unless you know where to look for) on both my wrists from the time that I fell of a fence ( I tried to grab it mid-fall, and cut both my wrists, and smashed into a pole wich nearly broke my nose and busted both my lips).
-There was this once that I tried to climb over another fence and I slipped, landing on barbed wire (with my groin). I literally had to pull it off me.
-I cut off part of my toe once (the doors to my back yard has these nice metal plates at the bottom, and when I jumped inside I scraped my toe over them cutting off the lower part, lot of blood that time).
-I had a piece of rock imbedded in my knee once (had to jam a stick into my knee, untill it was beneath the rock, to get it out ), beyond that the couple of times that I had a piece of glass in my foot (once through my shoe) which I had to cut out of my feet.
-While we're on the topic of feet there was this one time when I stabbed myself in the foot (the sole) when I forgot that I had a very sharp knife in my hands.
-Or the time that I nearly broke my ankle and drowned because my foot got stuck in a (relatively) rapid moving river.
-I managed to jab a fork underneath my finger nail (index finger), which was funny because it freaked out my friends.
-I also managed to cut up my thumb (straight to the bone) when I was cutting something up.
-Food poisoning once.
-And I've had hypothermia twice.
Those were the more memorable injuries that I've had, I suppose that there were not that many of them.
Oh, I forgot one of the funnier ones, when I was pushed into one of the (soccer goal) poles. I had a concussion, but the metal pole had quite a dent in it

That's the thing about redneck southerners. They're bred to be tougher than old shoe leather.
My list is little-to-nothing compared to the things my friends have been through.
You're one of the few that know about the parts of the list I omitted.
That's probably the more frightening portion, but doesn't classify as an "injury".

Reading all these injuries everyone else is posting, I feel really lucky that all I've had are minor injuries (scrapes, minor burns from cooking, fishing hook stuck in my finger, being 2-handed in the leg with a hockey stick, etc). It also reminds me of how many times where I SHOULD have been hurt a lot more than what I was. 3 years ago (I was 16 at the time) I was playing ball hockey and got hit by a guy who was like 300+ pounds running at full speed into the boards (I was around 100 pounds at the time). The way I fell to the ground everyone though I had broken ribs or something, but I ended up just having sore ribs for a couple of days .
Another one was when I was 10 I think. I was riding my bike through the townhouses I live in and went over a speedbump at full speed. When I hit the speedbump I lost control and I ended up wiping out completely. Considering I did a faceplant onto the pavement, I'm REALLY surprised that I only ended up with a couple of scrapes on my face, not even any blood!
But the worst injury I've ever had is nothing compared to the ones that everyone else has posted. I think I was between 6 and 8 when it happened. I'm not sure how, but I ended up with a small rock or sand or something stuck UNDER the skin of my small right toe. I didn't end up going to the hospital though because my grandma dug it out, which hurt like hell!

Indeed it is frightening. I don't think anyone can even begin to comprehend the level of physical pain you've felt unless they were in the same...situation.
I've studied all about it in the highest of academic settings, and I still don't think I could ever comprehend the pain D:
Even the Pain himself has nothing on you!
Thats my City right there LOLRelevant:You mean to tell me that in the greatest RPG of all (called Real Life), you've never been taken down to 0 HP??
Neither have I
No arrows in my knee, but I did come mere millimeters from shooting m foot off with a .357 magnum, once.
Don't play with firearms in need of serious repairs like trigger springs.

I've had plenty of injuries, however the worst one I've had and pretty much disabled me from skating and other stuff like that was an injury I got to my left knee, which ripped my tendon. =3
I was around 13 at the time and I always liked to walk around on top of the walls that surrounded my middle school, thing is, right next to the walls, they had these spikey things, kinda like this but it was only one spike and it was longer... Thing is, it had rained the past day, it was spring so it was normal, but what screwed me over was a bit of moss that was still humid from the previous day, and made me slip... Lucky me fell with my left knee (well, a bit below the knee, where the tendo is), and the spike pierced my leg, which made me fall over the wall after that. I always hated hospitals, so all I did was grab something large enough to help me walk (I wasn't able to move my leg at my will) and went home, which was normally a 30min walk. =3
After that it's pretty much normal, besides the scarr left, but it god one side effect and that is, I lost part of my control over my leg, sometimes I'm walking and my left leg just fails on me. The doctor said the tendon had been damaged (well, after I was hurt and looked at it, there was this whiteish thingy parially open (well, I had a big hole on my leg, so I was able to see how awesome it was inside)... Anyways, because of that I was no longer able to skate, my main leg is the left one, so without being able to properly control it, I could no longer skate. =3
I can do all else pretty well tho, Kendo, Karate and Tennis, since with those I can easily support with my other leg. xP

Broke my left arm and dislocated a few of my fingers (but that was on purpose I admit). Apart from that, nothing.
I feel so left out. I've never really been injured. The only really bad thing that's happened to me was the time when I received over a 100 mosquito bites on my legs and arms. I've still got the scars, and I'm glad I didn't catch anything.
The closest I've been to a bad injury was hitting my head on an open toilet, still got the scar on my forehead (not noticeable though)
I've hit my head snowboarding a few times 
Last year I think I may fractured my ankle snowboarding but I didn't get it checked out because I didn't want to miss the rest of the season... ha.

Probably the time a friend fell on top of my head, splitting it, with no way to call for any help for at least an hour.
At the time, I was 7, and I didn't know my parents number by heart, so I had to suck it up for a while until I calmed down and could remember the number.
I also scratched off a lot of skin off my left foot on the beach the same year, on vacations in Brazil. Luckily, we had some alcohol at hand to kill any bacteria.
Lastly, also the same year during the summer, I was stung all over my left leg by jellies. Had to get my leg covered in ice for several hours, and I passed out at some point, but it's kind of a faded memory by now.

What are you talking about?
I didn't edit it at all.
Just left a note saying that I wasn't "liking" the fact that you got hurt.
I just like how you describe it.
EDIT: Just remembered one.
About a year ago my buddy was cutting down trees and asked for my help. He really is in no health to be on ladders using chainsaws but he did it anyway. I was holding the ladder for him. When the limb fell it knocked him backward off the ladder, he fell about six meters, and the back of his head was the first thing to impact anything...the anything being my chin. After a few minutes I shook it off, but it nearly killed him.
At his insistence we finished the job (three more hours) before taking him to the hospital.
