The bloodletting....
I once nearly died of bloodloss due to my own stupidity, I was practicing some moves with my masamune (think sephiroth's sword from FF7 and that's the one i got, actually I got 2, dual-wielding them is awesome), and decided to take a break and so I rested it against a table, what my brain failed to register was that the table was curved and therefore almost possible to balance something against, least of all a 6 foot katana, I heard it slipping off the table a split second before it struck, I tried to dodge it by jumping onto the side, and that was like trying to run directly backwards from a huge falling tree, it still got me, it cut open a couple of inches of my right foot. Although the wound I got from that was fairly serious, the bleeding stopped after about 20 minutes, the wound itself closed not long after that, and the wound fully healed about 2 weeks after that, (though it did leave a rather nice scar) and I didn't require any medical attention. I still can't help but think everytime I'm reminded of it, if I hadn't tried to dodge it, it could well have cut off my entire foot.
