No mishaps on the roadie but on my mountain bike....
50% compression fracture of the T5 vertibrae from popping wheelies / catwalks and showing off to my daughter & wife. I went over backwards and couldn't unclip. The fracture was a result of landing on the big plastic lid of my CamelBack. I'm almost a 1/2" shorter now as a result.
Fractured rib from the saddle punching me in the gut when going down a long set of steep stairs
Fracture rib, various abrasions & contusions from failing to land a jump off of the Waterfall at South Mountain AZ.
When I first started on clipless pedales, I fell over and tore up my knee in the exact same spot three days in a row. (I stopped riding for 1 week to let it scab over properly)
