I've had my share of painful accidents, but the most embarrasing was when I was playing rugby at school. The ball had been dropped and whilst running I had to bend down to scoop it up, I missed it. I kept running for a few metres, having not mentally kept up with what was happening, just as I remembered to straighten back up I plowed right in to some guy.

That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

When I was very young, I stood up from tying my shoe... and ran the bridge of my nose smack into the edge of the countertop. I don't personally remember it, but my mother says it spurted a nice tall fountain of blood for awhile. I still have the scar.

More embarrassing and painful was when I was touring a lightship in Astoria, OR. We were going down some particularly steep stairs. My parents offered to go in front of me so that if I fell down I wouldn't fall all the way down. I refused, going first. I got down first alright... on my ass. Again, when I was very young.

I have had a concussion and required actual stitches as a result of an injury sustained by a HOUSE CAT.

To be exact neighbor shot cat with water, cat ran straight up me (very sharp claws), jumped off me and onto the roof, where it dislodged a BBQ grill that someone had thrown on top of the room, BBQ grill hit me in the head knocking me unconcious....
