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

Okay,
You also really need the option "Bad karma from bagging another show"

Went to see a show, and afterwards bagged it mercilessly to other people in car park (who also didn't like it)
On the way home I managed to tear the cruciate ligament in my right knee.
Unfortunately I was in a show that went up three weeks later, so ended up going on stage with a walking stick (luckily it added to the character).

Also
Broke arm in a car accident about four weeks before another show, so had to play role in a cast.

I've also sprained my ankle in rehearsals a couple of times.

Worst incident actually on stage?
Was playing Wicked Stepmother in Cinderella at Marloo. Had a tap number at start of second act. Had to run offstage afterwards. Slipped in wings and my leg literally went through the wall of the theatre. Had one of the Ugly Step Sisters delivering his lines from offstage while he was trying to get my leg out of the wall.
That was fun!
