No broken bones (knock on wood) but so far:
-When I was 8 I fell on ice while skating and split my chin open - 10 stitches
-When I was 9 I lost my balance and slid arm first across the barbeque grill - this may have helped me to become a vegetarian
-When I was 11 I nearly severed my left index finger with my new Swiss Army knife that my dad had been a tad to overzealous sharpening - thanks dad
- 15 stitches

when i was 5, i fell of a home made go cart. hit the bridge of my nose on the sidewalk and collapsed my right nasal passage. i have just 1 damn nostril now.
Despite my reputation for being accident prone, I have been lucky enough to not have too terrible of injuries. I was in a car wreck once though where a van plowed right into my driver's side door. I was extremely lucky that I walked away with cuts and bruises...but I was very, very sore. That accident had been really jarring to my whole body. It was very painful.

step1: get a car
step2: pick a target
step3: get it up to 120mph
step4: make sure your target is parked at an angle lower than the one your traveling on.
step5: lose control of your car.
step6: enjoy the crash.
if done correctly then your car should look like this.
No more than 35 - 40 mph....
Signed,
Me.

Ha! I thought the same thing. I rear ended an SUV in front of me at a traffic light going maybe 10 mph, and that damage isn't much worse than the damage to my car.
Injuries - nothing too serious thank goodness (knocking on wood), but I've been a little banged up a few times.
-when I was 3, I was walking down the street with my mom, and saw something on the side of the road that I lurched over to pick up. There was a car coming, and she grabbed my arm to pull me back and dislocated my elbow. It was excruciating. One of my earliest memories, and I still remember it fairly vividly.
-late teens, got in a very minor accident as a passenger on a motorcycle - a car backed out of a driveway and hit us as we were approaching a red light, so we were going very slowly, and so was the car. However, the driver turned the bike away from the car, and I fell off the bike in a weird way. Nothing too serious at the time, just a few scrapes and bruises and general soreness. Then two or three days later, my back went out. I still have chronic back pain to this day.
-about 10 yrs ago, doing dishes one day, went to wash a glass, and the glass broke with my hand inside of it. I didn't feel anything, but I pulled my hand out, and blood was dripping all over the place. Turns out that I'd cut a horseshoe-shaped chunk at the lower knuckle of my thumb. Went to the walk-in clinic, and the doctor had to stitch tendon as well as the skin. He wasn't sure if the skin would even stay attached since it was only a small piece holding it on, but it did. I think I ended up with 10 or 12 stitches.

For me, it would be dislocating my kneecap twice, once at age 14 and again at age 23.

War stories?!? 
I fractured one of my toes completing a tour jete in dance class when I was about 10. The swelling & discomfort was bad enough, but I had to hobble around on it at school for most of the next day because when the ER originally examined my X-rays, they couldn't see any evidence of a break & sent me on my way with a 'sprain'. For some reason (I never did find out why!) they took a 2nd look at the X-rays the next day & found a hairline fracture. Three weeks in a cast during warm spring days was not conducive to the lifestyle of a serious 10yr old tomboy.
The only thing I've ever done that left me somewhat 'disfigured' was smashing my left big toe between a Eureka upright vacuum & a marble floor about 4 years ago. I was helping a friend with his side business, cleaning offices in a building with a large marble-floored foyer & two carpeted hallways. I was crossing the foyer to go vacuum a hall, carrying the vacuum where the handle attached to the base. As I took a step with my left foot, I somehow lost my balance & in an attempt to right myself, dropped the vacuum....from a height of approximately 3 feet, directly onto my left big toe... while wearing Rainbow sandals. 
Excruciating. 
Thank goodness my friend & husband were standing in the foyer talking, because before I could take two or three steps towards a chair & sit down, blood from my busted nail bed was already pooling in my shoe. They made sure I didn't pass out & got my foot elevated & cleaned up as best possible. That was a Friday night - I pulled the entire toe nail off just 6 days later. It took at least a year for any kind of nail to grow back & what I do have now is this thick, discolored, nasty looking thing that I hate for anyone to see!

Back in high school, a classmate pushed me on the stairs.
I fell straight on my butt, and I ended up with a bruised tailbone.
I couldn't do you-know-what for 2 days.
