I jumped off a roof ~15 feet in the air. Really it was probably higher, but I would have to go look. Anyways, shattered my gums in front (lower jaw) and knocked one tooth completely out, root and all. The other one got crammed back in from being halfway out. No anesthetic. That was memorable as well.

The best part? My knees buckled on impact and that is what destroyed my face that day. Face to knee, self-inflicted.

....

I got lucky on the wisdom tooth part though. No wisdom teeth ever showed up, not even a dot on the x-rays. That's the one genetic trait I got lucky on.
