First season of Tom Sawyer's Landing in 1980, they had a fireman's pole to slide down from the second level to the first. Too many stupid kids would land on their butts and knock the wind out of themselves. It happened one too many times and the parents complained. Next day, bye bye pole! Pretty much the same thing with the cable slide that was there in the first few seasons, too many dumb kids smacked into the wooden wall at it's base, and, it too disappeared. I worked the cable slide first few years it was there, and we routinely demonstrated how to take off, hang on and land, but to no avail.  :P

I was performing with Show Choir once where they had the Living Nativity. I didn't realize the buildings were made of a rough Styrofoam until I went to do a turn and scraped my hand across it. Got a nice little gash on my pinky finger. I have a little bit of a scar that you can mostly only see when my hands have been wet for a while, like when I have pruney fingers ;)

Once my sister was in the petting zoo and got head butted by a goat right in the stomach. It knocked the wind clear out of her! She was probably 3 at the time. My mom and I didn't get to witness it because we were somewhere else in the park, but my dad got it on video, that I have to say, I have watched (and laughed at) several times!

Haha, sounds like the perfect submission for Americas Funniest Home Videos! :D
Glad she ended up okay though.
