Snapped chain on a bmx:

The lump of gravel came out of that dark bit about 48 hours after I stacked it.
95% of the ligaments torn (held together by 5%) and broken ankle after slipping out footjamming on a wet coping:

I've done loads of others too: Dislocated sholdure and broken collar bone after hooking up on a 22ft hip. Broke both kneecaps and impact fracture on my right fore-arm after catching my front wheel on concrete vert. Broke my arm in 6 places between my wrist and my elbow after sliding out on gravel on a long board.
I don't ride bmx anymore, I grew up :(
