The worst for me wasn't related to the worst injury, fear, or anything like that - just the weirdness.
Tunakid #1 was pretty well potty trained. He peed standing up (tunakid #2 pees sitting down exclusively - no idea).
One day he's in there, peeing. SLAMs the toilet lid, per normal, and then "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH" screaming.
He had a bruise on it for two weeks and he NEVER slams the toilet seat anymore.

That's what I told my 17-year-old daughter when it became clear she was, uhhh, active. I said "I can't physically stop you from doing it, but I don't have to make it comfortable or convenient."
Yeah, she and my wife have an agreement that she will tell when it happens. I'm preparing for a mental breakdown on the wife's part. I should just pull a Steve Harvey on him, "Whatever you doin with my baby girl, I'mma do wit you. You kissin on her, my man, we gon kiss. You holdin hands with her, brotha we holdin hands. You doin other stuff with my baby... boy, you best prepare yosef."
We've actually both handled that with more serenity than I would have thought possible a decade ago. We told them both to use protection and to be sure about what they were doing before they did it. Mrs. Duke also had them both to the doctor for a checkup after the deed was done. So far, so good.

Just kee in mond my favorite movie quote, from Jurassic Park, Jeff Goldblum- "Nature finds a way."
There's a particular sound the dogs heads make when smacked by toys...not fond of that one.
Crying after a thump is great.
It ticks the consciousness, air, breathing and circulation boxes really fast. I love a crying kid after an accident or fall, because the alternative is so much worse.
My kids are older now. I dread hearing them starting to scream each other's names, because it means my son is getting his ass kicked by his little sister unless I go in there and break things up.
