bouncing my head off the back of a clothes rail on castors when my friend and I tried to use it as a gaint skateboard, felt very ill for hours and very long headache

hitting the back of my head on a concrete wall while wrestling my brother, there was blood and a not so bad headache as it didn't make me feel ill

hitting the back of my head at a village fun day duing an obstacle course, nearly blacked out but blinked as fast as I could and stayed on the right side of conciousness

trying to do a 3 turn somersault off a 10ft high diving board, only made it 2.5 turns, hit the water with my face so hard I'd thought I'd missed the pool, had blurred vision for a day, a headache for 3 days and chipped all my front teeth

showing my kids how to use a sledge and coming off at about 40mph but was saved again from blacking out by using my trusty blinking method

The bump that makes me shudder the most when I think about it is when I was hit by a car on my bicycle while not wearing a helmet. I was pitched over the bars so fast I had no time to get my hands out and hit the tarmac shoulder first. A slightly different projectory and it would have been my first and last knock out.
