been there to many times lol.
Damn starter cables :S
Not much happened to me really.
My brother had 3 fingers cut to the bone from an old Enya 19 (little ones can bite bad), ummm, burnt myself more times than i can remember on heli mufflers, first time i started a plane was with a starter, ticked it over to get some fuel in it (no glow plug ignitor on there) and low and behold i had carved a perfect M on my wrist (heres a pic healing over) thank got i didnt get a vein!
So now i'm a huge fan of the old chicken stick.
Never had a heli big enough to get the shins (50's here), had a backflipping glitch that almost landed on me in the first few months of flying 
First crash i had a rotor blade fly past my head (heard it but could barly belive it, eventually found it, sits on my shelf to remind me!).
Have reversed the throttle before (initially the pitch was reversed so in the heat of the moment i reversed the throttle instead, first flight after a rebuild and darn nothing i put on lasted a single flight, infact barly flew :S).
Had a chap sever a finger at a funfly, amazing how much they bleed.
Managed far more injuries skating, exposed shin bone, exposed my jaw bone on two occasions, more concussions can you can count on a village worth of fingers and toes, ramp burn removed 1/3 of the skin on my back once, fractured my heel, impaled fingers, chipped much of my right elbow socket off, KO or two, shins like the himulayers, various bits of bone cultivated around the knee....
Oh, one thought on the starter, shorted a 12'v on the soft bit between the thumb and first finger, flash fryed the skin, white and crunchy, mmmm, i smelt chicked
