I stepped on one of those metal jacks back in like 2nd grade. It was behind the couch and I didn't see it. It made a nice sized hole and a bit of blood. 🙁
I bet you cried like a little bitch 😛

Hell yeah!

I had to get my parents who were upstairs and I left a thin trail of blood along the way. :Q

I used to be both fascinated and terrified of UFO's. I thought it was the most interesting in the world, but I hated going outside alone at night because of them.

you too??? :Q
 
Falling through the ice on Lake Erie and then reaching up with my left hand, only to find ice. Luckilly, when I reached with my right hand, I quickly found the hole.

Trust me - mere terror doesn't even begin to describe what I felt when I found ice above me.

Watching the Exorcist with a friend at his house at about 12 years old... wasn't bad seeing it with somebody else, but then having to walk home alone in the dark was.

omg my childhood, i used to not like looking at their faces
 
Riding down a hill by my house on my bike in fouth grade...

getting hit by a car (ok...his side mirror clipped me...asshole didn't even stop!)...and falling with sores and scrapes and cuts all over my arms and legs.

at least I'm thankful that I didn't hurt my head (no helmet). From then on, I rarely ride bicycles..and if I do...never down ANY kind of hill.
 
Cutting my leg open from my ankle to my knee on a Slip n Slide when I was 6. Back then they used metal prongs to hold the plastic down and one of them come loose from the ground right when I hit the slide. Luckily I didn't hit any arteries.
 
UFO's! I watched wayyyyyy too much X-Files when it first came out in the early nineties. I was only 8 or 10 when it first came out, it scared the sh!t out of me! 😛

Wow..

Did you sue? 😛
 
Return of the Living Dead. I saw it when I was about six, and it messed with me up into junior high. In my defense, I lived across the road from a graveyard, and I had to wait on the school bus in the dark, and look at the stones just a few yards away. One time some dogs were wondering around in there and I though the zombies were coming 😱

No, this was back in the early 60's when people didn't sue for things like this.
 
Two things, actually. One was the monster under the bed. I'd leap into bed for years to avoid that thing grabbing my feet.😛

The second is when my youngest brother got a bleeding ulcer. He complained of a stomach ache and he was pale, so we thought he just had a bad bug. He was so pale though. His lips were grey. The morning after he complained of a tummyache, he got up to go to the bathroom. He vomited what seemed like gallons of blood and passed out. Turns out he'd lost over half his blood volume.
 
when a steel goal post tipped over and crushed my finger, causing my fingernail to pop out from the bottom. (yep, the white part was forced out of the covering skin)

similar thing happened to my daughter when my wife accidently slammed her little pinky finger in the back door.

For awhile when I was a child that was a semi annual occurence🙂 I don't believe I had all of my fingernails intact until I reached the age of 7 LOL!
