What cycling injuries have you suffered over the years?

I am curious as to the injuries we that cycle have endured from the sport. I have two notable ones......

1- Had a mailbox jump into the road and attack me slicing my right index finger all the way down to past my wrist bone (almost 8” cut) that has a nice scar to this day.

2- While riding a typical lunchtime 20 miler when I lived in the mountains I was doing a sweeping curve right at 30-32 mph and ran off the right shoulder while in a deep concentration of the white line and instinctively tried to correct back on the road and hard over left onto my left shoulder and head impact of pavement. Slid about 70 feet or so unconscious and ripped my left side up and a suspected torn labrum in my shoulder. Had to pedal my bike 6 miles up a climb to my vehicle with blood pouring and a ripped up left side.

Great sport!
