What are the worst injuries you've sustained?

The worst was when I got hit from the side by a car while cycling when I was 10. Broken leg, concussion and a week in the hospital.

I still wipe out once or twice a year on my mountain bike but nothing serious. Last time was just a week ago, I took a corner too fast in the rain. At least the road deck was very wet so the road rash wasn't too bad this time. Better then the front wheel getting stuck on a rock on a downhill rocky path and getting thrown over the handle bars, what usually happens.

Nastiest surprise was when the lawnmower shot a sharp stone out of the back which hit me in my leg. I heard it bounce off my bone. Not very painful but there was a lot of blood and it took almost a year to fully heal.

By far the most painful was also the simplest thing. My wife rushed me to the hospital with severe abdominal pain, I couldn't stand up straight anymore and started reverting into my native tongue, unable to concentrate enough to stay in English. It turned out to be nothing more then gas. The doctor basically told me I was full of shit and suggested a laxative.
