What is the most severe injury you've received in your life?
Mine happened when I was a toddler, something or other ripped through the lower part of my mouth and my mother had to sew it up. Now I have two nifty lil' scars on my bottom lip :D
What severe physical (or even mental) injuries have you attained in your life! I'd really love to know!

I was in a serious traffic collision years ago. It was late at night and while driving through an intersection a drunk driver ran the red light and t-boned me on the driver's side, hard. My injuries were significant, which included a fractured collar bone, a broken pelvis, a dislocated shoulder, multiple fractured ribs with tension pneumothorax with tracheal deviation (the paramedics had to perform a needle thoracostomy), a compound fracture of my left forearm, a sprang ankle, a broken tib-fib, ruptured spleen, and multiple contusions and some minor lacerations. The drunk driver only had a bruised wrist and face.
