I actually got 'plugged' sort of when I was a kid. I was about 8 and had a second hand bike. The handlebars were covered, but the ends, for whatever reason, weren't. They had torn off or whatever, so the metal rim was exposed. One day I fell and crashed and the end poked into my stomach. Not INTO, but the metal end cut deeply enough into the skin that it left a circular cut- a round red circle. It was bleeding, but not that bad. However, it really hurt- like I'd been punched. I remember bawling, thinking that it had punched a hole in my stomach and the food would all come out (I'd actually read a story where that happened to a man who'd been shot- don't ask, it was some old book that was lying around the house). It left a scar, but it's nearly invisible now. I think after that we covered up the handlebars but can't remember.
