In order of occurrence:

Autumn 2009: Hit a low concrete barrier riding in the dark with insufficient lighting. Attempted an emergency bunny-hop, but didn't get the rear wheel over. Launched me through the air like Superman, was lucky enough to land on grass. Minor cuts and scrapes, sore neck, bent rear wheel.

Winter 2009: Slipped on some ice going very slowly downhill (with studded tires). No damage to me or the bike.

Summer 2010: Turning into my driveway, tire slipped off the edge of the concrete, bike went out from underneath me. No injuries to me. Bar tape came dislodged and had to be re-wrapped.

Spring 2011: Slipped on some ice going very slowly downhill (with studded tires). Wrenched my knee, which was sore for a week. No damage to the bike.

Summer 2011: Fell while at a standstill because I forgot to unclip. No damage to the bike. Bruised ego.

Fall 2011: T-Boned a car that made an unsafe left turn across my path. Bike totaled. Fractured (crushed) wrist, fractured elbow, bruising and lacerations to shoulder and chest, deep gash in my chin, lots of muscle soreness. Still healing from this one.
