I did the same thing on a flip attempt when I was first learning it. It kind of made a hole in my leg, and it left a nice big bump, too!

I keep hitting my skate with the back of the other blade on the flip...

war trophies are only good when you were doing something impressive. like, "yeah, i got that big gash doing a triple axel... y'know how it is...". and NOT "i got the horrific looking scar doing ummmmm *ahem* standing still *ahem* yeah...."

I was around 14 or so, and visiting my friend in NJ. We went ice skating and took her little sister with us. I'm skating around with her little sister, when we both went flying. She ended up landing on top of me somehow, and her blade kind of got stuck in the back of my boot, between my leg and the boot. We got ourselves untangled, and when we sat down, I took my skates off and saw I was bleeding a bit. Still have the scar.

I've never actually stabbed myself, I've certainly kicked myself a fair number of times. Once, I kicked myself and kicked hte leg I was on out from under me.
