Dislocation
A group of well meaning folks at my university used their spare time to help local kids by taking inflatables of varying shapes/sizes out to city playschemes. One night they set them up in the main hall in the union building to let the rest of us see what they did. Unfortunately parquet floors & bouncy castles don't make a good mix, especially when some idiot (not me)ignores advice & carries on smoking while bouncing. One puncture later, I slid off a rapidly deflating bouncy thing & my face hit the floor from around 12ft up swiftly followed by my mate's feet. Result - dislocated jaw. Excess beer persuaded me to get him to put it back in for me (no idea how).
This was followed by two weeks of liquid diet while my jaw slowly unseized. Still can't eat french bread thirty years later, bit I can make a very satisfying click if I waggle it right...
