On a serious note...I did manage to skewer myself pretty deeply with a uncapped FD cable. Hurt like hell.
It's always fun and games 'til you hurt yourself. My right foot fell of the pedals a few years ago (mountain biking) while I was on the small chainring - a few teeth ended up inside the lower back of my leg where my calve is. I still have the scars to prove errrthing.
