My story is similar to gear (above) but it was trying to gently tap the computer pick-up on my fork closer to the wheel magnet.

Unfortunately, I tapped a tad too much, caught my fingers in the spokes, and as the wheel came around, jammed my hand into the spokes, then into the fork, which flipped the bike, landing me on my head/back (Bell V-1 Pro helmet, remember those?).

I was commuting to work, so once I got back up, used the QR to release the front wheel (and my hand), proceeded to ride for a couple of blocks in the wrong direction (guess I hit my head harder than I realized!), then continued to work. Lost a bunch of skin, but no broken bones!

The other story happened to a customer of ours while I worked at the bike shop. Riding on the river-side bike path, a rat had tried to run across in front of her but had been skewered by the chainring and battered by the pedals (how many times I don't know).

My clever remark, "You know that wouldn't have happened if you didn't have rat-trap pedals!" was not appreciated by said customer. In fact, she went into a bit of a rage about it, complained to my boss, etc. Lesson: "Sometimes I should keep smart remarks to myself!"
