What's your worst injury during a chess game?

I recently played an OTB chess games in which I acquired/aggravated an injury.

I was sat in the same position for a long time and my wrist had bent slightly too far which aggravated an old rugby injury I had. This injury has persisted for 1 week and 1 day now.

I hurt my head after falling from the chair when my opponent played a shocking opening novelty.

When I TD'd high school tournaments, I had a kid who cut his tongue on his opponent's chess piece which he had won and stupidly put in his mouth!

I aggravated my sciatica from sitting so long and my legs began tingling.

The table supports falling and smashing a oak wood table onto my legs.

You could unzip your fly and aim at your opponent from under the table!

Does a snapped bra count when I made a long move across the board? Embarrassing but I won anyway.

I got a flu shot and swelled up so badly I can't move it
