Injuries

I recently about broke my arm, I apologize for the lack of updates.   It got me thinking about an injury I got as a young child.  This happened when I was 5.

My dad and I were playing soccer inside the house, which was a no-no.  Anyway, I always played goalie. I stopped the ball with my foot and slid off landing on my arm.  I wanted to be brave like my hero, Kris Peat, who was a goalie of a local professional team.  But I couldn't, I started to bawl my eyes out.  My dad waited until my mom got home with the car and took me to the hospital.  I ended up with a sprained arm and had to be in a stupid sling.  I think that was my worst injury as a kid, even though I'm VERY clumsy.

What has been your worst injury as a child?
