I put my little sister in hospital when she was a toddler...
I was digging in the garden using the hook end of a hammer, I was only 5 or 6 so I assume I had a good reason.

She wandered up behind me and looked over my shoulder to see what I was doing... and caught the nail-knocking end full in the nose on the up-swing.

I also cracked her head quite badly on another occasion when we were about the same age - it was a teeny bit more deliberate though, I wanted her to help test out a thought I'd had so got her to stand on a bathmat which I then yanked out from under her. She smacked her temple on the corner of the bath on the way down. I wasn't very popular with the parents for that one, she needed a few stitches...
