Re: Bizarre injuries you\'ve suffered
When I was about 6-7 I was walking along on the pickets of a standard white picket fence that sat at the top of a 2' high retaining wall. I managed to slip and fall down the tallest side of the fence. The picket slid up the back of my shirt and coat, laid a 10" or so long gash into my back (along with a multitude of splinters).
To make matters worse, my coat didn't rip, so I ended up hanging there a foot or so off the ground for about 15 minutes until one of the neighbors walked past and got me down. I didn't end up needing stitches, I just got about 4 of those butterfly things, but I couldn't do much but lay on my stomach and sit on a stool for about a week.. Then, as a capstone to the entire event, when we got back home, I was grounded for 3 days as I had already received numerous warnings that I was not supposed to be climbing on the neighbor's fences.
