Post pictures or text to show how you've gotten hurt for either the most stupid reason or in a stupid way.

When I was 6, I was at my best friend's house after school because my mom had to work. I was playing American Girl Dolls with his sister. She had one of those doll jeeps and we were pretending they were going camping. As she was handing the jeep up to me (she had a loft bed and we were pretending that they were going camping up in the bed part), her ceiling fan was going at full speed and I was climbing up the ladder to get to her bed. I think you can kinda see how this is going. Welp, sure enough, as I leaned over to grab the toy car, I felt a "Wham!" in the back of my head. something red and warm trickled down my neck and I screamed. My friend's sister realized that I was hurt and started crying as well. I ran downstairs and my friend's mom got me an ice pack as I watched PJ Masks.

TLDR: A ceiling fan cracked my head open when I was six when I was playing American Girl Dolls.

Standing with left foot on right pedal of bicycle going down hill. I got going too fast and thought I should jump off and run. It didn’t work out too well. I went tumbling to the bottom, while my bike went crashing into a ditch. This was long before bike helmet days. Thankfully nothing broken, just a lot of scrapes and bruises.

Looking for a first house; this one had great big oak trees in the front. Having been a tree climber I decided to see if any of these were good climbing trees. Got up rather high quite easily but coming down looked tricky. I got as low as I could get but then realized I would not be able to safely climb down the rest of the way. So I kind of slipped jumped to the ground. Turns out that method was probably less safe than trying to climb down. Ended up having back surgery and was out of commission for many weeks. (We bought the house.)
