Oh, I was also an accident-prone student... I'm way past my school years, so I don't remember the details anymore, but I think I usually got hurt during PE classes.
Most accidents I had in middle school, I think. It was usually a simple finger dislocation, acquired during either basketball or volleyball play, but since the start of the second year it happened once every 2-3 weeks... Now that I think back, I'm amazed my hands look normal after it all.
Around that time we also went to the nearby park once. It was winter, I remember there was a lot of snow and ice. We went there during a PE class, with our teacher. When we arrived, the teacher said we're supposed to skate on this ice for our class, the way little kids do. I don't know what for. Back then I thought it was a bad idea, now I think the same. When it was my turn, I wasn't able to maintain the balance (as I feared), so I fell down hitting the back of my head in the process. Of course everything went black for a moment, we had to finish the class early and I had a terrible headache for the rest of the day. Lucky there weren't many classes afterwards and in the end it wasn't anything serious. But still, it was really unpleasant.
In high school it wasn't much better. Right after the start there was a school camp deep into the country, really far from any proper city. We were supposed to get to know each other. The school year already started, so there were proper classes, inside or outside, if the weather was ok. Also PE. Though I've never participated in it there... We arrived there at night. It was really dark and we had to hurry, because it was already pretty late. And so, I didn't see well the stairs we were going down and I fell down with all my luggage, twisting my ankle. There wasn't any doctor, only the school nurse and it was actually a big problem to transport me anywhere, since we didn't have any car there. So the school nurse was trying to patch it up somehow the whole camp and, well, she was the only one I got to know well, since I had to visit her frequently back then, instead of participating in most of the classes and trips... Unfortunately, our "friendship" lasted for the next 3 years. I visited her frequently, due to some small injuries during PE and to the health problems I started to have back then.
