Got the hitch in the shin probably only twice, the head stabbing from the hood latch lots of times, I think I really pulled something in my shoulder just the other day reaching back(crew cab) to open the sliding rear window, and watched my friend once slice open his leg on the fishtail exhaust tips I put on my mercury.

I've hit the hood latch before too. ouch.

I don't think i've ever ran into a hitch and i've only hit my head about twice on a hood latch, both times on an f-100 2wd.

The worst thing I ever did was walk full speed into some heavy angle that was hanging off a trailer 1' off the ground.

You might as well add me to the list as well. It has happened to me so many times that my shins seem to be immune to it now :lol:.
