Being able to see my own bone.
Now this is fairly obvious, and I'm pretty sure there are few people in this world who aren't scared of any such a scenario to some degree. Bones should stay hidden out of site under the safety of flesh. That's where they live, with all the other glossy, throbbing things that keep you alive.

What makes this a slightly irrational fear, is the fact that no other amount of gorey horrible stuff can get to me at all. I'm a seasoned gore hound, love films like "Braindead" and "Story of Ricky" and always rewind the grisly bits, giggling myself silly and yet the thought of being able to see my own bone makes me squirm like a quadriplegic with piles.

Anyone who's seen the film "Men Behind the Sun" will know the sort of thing I'm talking about. Theres a certain scene in that which, to this day, remains the only scene in film history that I cannot watch.

That's happpened to me
I once accidently put my arm through a piece of glass in a door while trying while in a fury to knock on the wooden bit in the middle. I saw muscle, I saw blood, I saw the inside of the skin, fat (very little) and bone. It was strange. And at 10 scary. Now when I see gory bits in movies I tingle (like if someone's arm get blown off my arm tingles) but I wouldn't say I'm scared of that kind of stuff. THough I do think you're right in thinking these things should stay covered by flesh.

I'm with you on this
No amount of blood, guts and gore can make me wince..

But show me a bone being broken and I recoil into a weeping, shuddering mess.

Bleugh!
