I've also been pretty lucky. Fell a bunch of times and have numerous cuts and hook punctures.
My worst was at Scituate harbor a few years ago I had a small fish and was down on the jetty trying to pull it up. Of course I'm wearing sneakers and I'm not properly dressed at all, sure enough I fall on the rocks and just slammed my leg on the rock. Didn't break anything but I had a deep bone bruise that didn't go away for at least 2 months.
I've brought 2 people to the hospital before. One was my uncle who hooked his leg on the back cast while fly fishing on the vineyard. The other was when my dad tripped over the hitch on the truck with hot dog in hand and broke a bone in his elbow, though that wasn't fishing related he mostly eats and shoots the breeze when he's "fishing" these days.
