Can't top some of these, but I'll play.
1. When I was about 6, I was climbing a friend's treehouse ladder. It was poorly put together, with nails sticking out. I expressed concern to my friend, who dismissed it, so I took one step up and ... felt a tugging near my right knee. Took a few stitches to close, after the ER folks got the bleeding to stop.
2. Late after prom night, I took my gf/future wife back home to ... well, you know, it was prom night. My sister was spending the night at a friend's house, and since she had a waterbed, we went in her room. I figured my folks were sound asleep (this was like 2 a.m.). Well, a few minutes into it, the cat started scratching at the door to come in. We ignored it, but it was enough to wake Mom, who opened the door to let the cat in and ... quickly closed it.
