First off, a preface: I skateboard, and I'm damn good at it. I've been skating for over seven years now, and I absolutely love it.
Anyway, two days ago, I was goofing around on a rail in my driveway. I slid a nollie back lip down it (for those who don't skate, it's a tough trick) and rolled away... onto a patch of ice. I tried to stop, and slipped. Somehow, I managed to kick the board upwards, and it rocketed up...
The funny thing is, right now I'm just pissed because I didn't get it on video. :|

straight into my neck.
The nose dug in right below my Adam's Apple, then gouged upward towards the bottom of my chin. Meanwhile, I bit almost clean through my lip, bit my tongue quite badly, and smashed both my knees onto the ice. I'm fine now (save for a crazy-ass mark on my neck), but I'm still amazed at how lucky I am. If the board had hit me a little higher up, or at a greater angle, I could very easily be in the hospital right now, or in a casket. I'm pretty sure I used up one of my nine lives on that one.
