    Earlier today I tried to swat a fly with my car door, but since I was looking down at the fly I only managed to slam that door into my head with all my strength, stunning me for several seconds

    Once, when I was a kid (albeit old enough to know better) I was playing underneath a tall warehouse-style shelf. I could just stand up underneath it, so what do I decide to do? Jump as hard as I can, of course!

    I'm not sure how I didn't end up in hospital on that one.

    When I was twelve, I was bicycling downhill on a residential street, and while I was talking to a friend beside me I slammed into the back of a parked jeep at full speed. Looking back on it, I definitely had a concussion, but I think the spare tire on the back spared me from the worst possibilities of my bad decisions

    When I was probably somewhere around 10-12, I was walking backward and turned around right into a wall. Fell onto my back, then ran to the bathroom and threw up 6-7 times.

    When I was seven or eight, my siblings and I were playing a game where we put the clothes hangers with the clippers on the ceiling fan, turned it on, and see where they flung. One of them headshotted right into me.

    I've taken a couple vehicle hoods to the dome, which is enough to piss you off all the way through the next 2 beers.

    The worst was probably as a kid, maybe 3 or 4, jumping on the couch & fell face first onto a 1970's solid wood coffee table. I can still feel the slight dent in my forehead 40 years later.

    When I was a teen, idk 15 or so, was just walking back to my house from the non-fenced backyard. Noticed my shoe was untied, noticed an old steel dolly nearby. Dolly was laying upside down, tongue up ...so I had the great idea to use the extra height of the dolly so I wouldn't have to bend down all the way....well I learned about levers that day ..the top handle came screaming for the top of my head and then I just seen stars while on my but.

    At around 13, with no experience outside knowing how to ride a bike, attempted a 6 foot BMX bike jump, the kind with a near-verticle lip. After two bailed attempts, I committed to MORE SPEED on the third try. I went straight up, couldn't position the bike forward, and fell directly backward onto my unhelmeted head and back onto packed dirt and gravel. Always kind of felt dumber, slower after that day

    As a child, running as fast as I could, I didn't see some sort of horizontal metal bar at about my forehead's height. I bounced and fell backwards to the ground.
