Nothing too horrific, I've been very lucky with avoiding injuries considering my current and past interests.
1) BMX toptube + male's 'vulnerable area'. Got to be the worst in terms of basic human pain, happened to me a couple times.
2) Gashed my knee running in the fells here (unfortunately on a rocky/scree section), lots of pain and blood; I remember just sitting down and shouting for a while. Luckily no lasting damage.
3) Bruised/grazed my elbow pretty bad running a shallow rapid section (ww kayaking), went to roll and BAM. Was too cold to feel much immediately (I swam), but it was extremely sore for several days.
I mostly condition for and practice parkour now, and I've suffered very little pain so far - shins occasionally take a knock and my palms get torn up, but I'm more sensible than I used to be.
