A few years back I broke my baby toe...
In true idiot fashion I did it in a most unspectacular fashion. I was acting goofy, ran by my wife and my baby toe caught on her heel...
I felt pain and crumpled to the floor in fits of laughter. When I looked at my toe it was at a 90 degree angle from the rest of my toes. Freaked me out but I still didn't stop laughing...
The other major injury (if a broken baby toe can be included in the concept of major) was when I was a kid. I was riding my bicycle around my neighbourhood and when I went over a speed bump the front forks on my bike snapped. I went headfirst over the handle bars and landed firmly on my chin. After sliding for a few feet I sat up dazed and bawling...
A group of teenagers playing frisbee gathered up the remains of my bike and took me home. The best was my Mom answering the door to the sight of my face covered in blood.
My chin took three stitches without freezing... I hated needles. It took my Mom, the Nurse, the Doctor and an Intern to hold me down.
