When I was younger I fell off a homemade merry go round some neighbors had built. Got hit in the back of the head by one of the horses as I tried to get up. Ended up with staples and a lovely scar.
Slipped in the shower, grabbed the soap bar holder, it ripped off the wall, and flew right to the outside of the corner of my eye. Left me with a small cut and a broken blood vessel. Surprised it wasn’t a full blown black eye.
Fell out of high-chair at age 2, faceplanted and bit through tongue with the only 2 teeth I had at the time. Now have a second uvula on the bottom of my tongue.
Fell off of rocking chair at age 5, smacked forehead on concrete basement floor and now have permanent skull deformation on left side of forehead.
Wacked in the back of head with mop handle by brother pretending to be Jon BonJovi at age 5, 5 stitches and small divot in the skull back there.
Hit on head by rock thrown by neighbor kid age 6, no significant damage.
Fell off bike akira-sliding into driveway at age 7, pizza-faced for a month.
Fell off footpath bridge headfirst on to rocks age 9, 6 stitches administered at a vet’s office because christian day schools are wild as fuck.
Head accidentally slammed in car door age 14.
Suckerpunched in a mugging at 17.
Hit in head by rock that fell off a passing dumptruck age 20, 8 stiches and was extremely lucky that I caught it on the second bounce.
There’s probably more that I’m forgetting (because you know, 10 head injuries.)
Sailing… And the wind changed and I didn’t notice quick enough and got smscked it the head by the boom and would have fallen into the water if my buddy didn’t pull my stunned as back into the boat. I was pretty new to sail and learnt that Lesson the hard way.
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.
