I got smacked on the side of head with an excavator bucket. It put me in hospital for a couple of weeks with severe concussion. It also split open the inside of my mouth. Amazingly I never lost any teeth. 
Apart from that, its been mainly bumps bruises and abbrations. Not bad for over 30 years. 
Was driving around backroads in Suffolk last year. Road was pitch black. Truck headlights pretty week so was alternating between Hi and Lo when an unmarked (chevrons indicating bend flattened by previous collisions) bend appeared during one of the light dips. When I tried to steer away I caught an icy patch which sent me straight into a field hitting my face on the steering wheel and hurting my ribs. Few days afterwards bruising made me look like I’d been given a battering in the boxing ring.

If lorry drivers think they’re tough I’ll tell you a story about an old boss of mine in flying. We had a senior lady training Captain. A very tough, portly Yorkshire woman in her 50s who carried a mans wallet and had a formidable reputation and temper to boot but underneath a great woman and outstanding pilot. She’s been on television several times, particularly a program where Ewan McGregor is learning to have a go at flying a dambusters raid and tried his hand in a DC3. Anyway. What is relevant is her left little finger was missing from the hand down.We all wondered how she’d lost it. Was she born like that or was it some misfortune? After much gentle persuasion an opportunity arose when we were sitting around on standby and she was in a good mood and she told us. She was doing some base training up in Scotland on the Douglas DC3 for the coastguard contract we had. She’d completed this bloke’s check and was finished. Now, she had an urgent dental appointment to fix a filling. So instead of waiting for the aircraft to taxi back to the pan, she said to the chap to park outside the gate, she’d hop off the rear and he could taxi it back. The DC3 has a big metal barn like door on the rear left. She opened it and jumped down onto the ground.
She said she felt a “pull” , looked up and saw what she thought was some strands of her jacket streatching up to the door. At this point she explained how ■■■■■■ off she was as it was a new bit of uniform. She started to walk away from the idling aircraft and felt a “tug” and sever pain from her arm
At this point she fell to the ground in slight shock. Unfortunately, as instructed the skipper of the idling DC3, presuming she was away started to turn and taxi away. Lying on the foor she realised the tail wheel was about to run over her. Still being stuck to the aircraft via her tendon, she jumped up. The finger fell off the door and she ran round to face the cockpit giving it the “chop” signal. He shut down and she fainted
I used to work with a guy who had his wedding finger missing - jumped of a high headboard at liverpool docks, wedding ring caught on a screw sticking up and left the finger behind - went into the traffic office as cool as a cucumber (most likely in shock) asked them to call an ambulance - sarky reply “Why ?” showed the clerk the stump, blood splurting out monty python style - who promptly fainted
was in the days before stitching them back on so was missing from then on
Pah ''tis nothing but a scratch"

Shattered clavicle because someone (no names mentioned) in a blue and red DAF decided to rear-end my truck just as I was getting out of the cabin, his response was (Sorry mate I dropped my phone)
I once suffered a catastrophic hurt feelings incident when a car driver gave me the coffee bean sign after I completed a more lengthy than planned overtake.

They can leave you with long lasting health issues…well mostly up until the service station.

I have this keeping my leg together.
I’ve got one of them too, had it ever since a motorbike spat me off!
My worst one though was when I had my chest crushed with a bundle of steel, was pretty sure it was game over when it happened. Had a ride in the air ambulance and a stay in the ITU. I broke some ribs and stuff but they were most worried about my torn liver. All very dramatic at the time but I got over it.
A lot of people slate the NHS but they’ve done a great job of fixing me twice now and I am forever grateful. Apart from the catheter, I’m not grateful for that, they can keep that!
