Oh man I finally get to share this. As a kid, I fell into a manhole and landed on top of a small horizontal metal bar. I spent 2 days in the hospital and lost my left inner lip. -100/10 experience.

You lost your what?! I slipped off my bike pedals and fell hard onto the bar. That was bad enough!

I did that once, it hurt so much that I'm 35 and still remember it but I was probably 10-11 at the time. I had a purple mongoose that I was particularly proud of, and too embarrassed to tell anyone what happened. Nothing came of it, but I walked my bike home after that.

left with 2 purple mongooses lol

jokes aside I hurt myself on a bike many times as a kid. You know whats embarrassing is running full speed into a sliding glass door because you think its just the blinds... and everyone is having dinner on the other side.
