Way back when I was little, I was riding my Schwinn, which of course didn't have any grips anymore. Thought I would ride it up the curb like my brothers did. Didn't. Hit the curb at an angle, which turned the wheel, ripped the bars out of my hands, and the circle end of the bar made impact with my 8 year old nipple dead on.

I had a cut, all the way round the little chicken-peck. I was so embarrassed about not being able to jump the curve, I never told my mother.
