another one...I have a pretty nasty looking gash about 6 inches (~15.2 cm) long down my upper left arm below my shoulder. When my now 14 y.o. son was about 2 years old and had been sick for a couple days, I was sitting in our den holding him. Suddenly, he heaves and starts to throw up all over the place so I pick him up under his two little arms aiming his face in front of me so it doesn't get all over me, as I run toward the kitchen. As I get to the tile floor in the kitchen, I suddenly slip on his slimey vomit, my feet shoot straight out forward as I'm falling backwards still holding him arms length out hoping he doesn't get hurt. During my fall, as my arm passed the sharp corner of our stove it ripped my arm open. But we live happily ever after, anyway.
