Self explanatory, really - who's ever hurt themselves, what was involved, & whose fault was it?

my story,

It was opening night of my school production west side story, and i had just died (i was bernardo), and i was lying on the ground playing dead and the rumble was happening around me.

one of the people in the rumble (to this day i dont know who) trod/kicked my face. I hope it was an accident. anyway, i was in so much pain and i was contemplating wether to sneak off stage, but i kinda couldnt cause the audience would notice (i was at the front of the stage). so i lay there, tears pouring down my face and in agony. when the scene ends i rush off and it ends up that because of the pressure of the blow i had started to bleed really heavily out the top of my nose. i was so glad that in the play i was dead because it meant i didnt have to go back on.

I went to the doctor, and it ends up my nose was broken. and i had to wear a cast on it, i would take it off for performances only but apart from that i was stuffed.

the following nights i died face down. and nothing happened, but another close shave almost. a healed foot in my back, but it didnt happen

that has been my only stage injury, and lets hope its the last. too wood
