Played an acoustic gig last Friday and this happened:

Never happens when I practice but every time I gig, I finish with significantly less skin than I started with!

My dad once broke his left wrist while loading up ready to go to a solo gig - tripped over the trailer coupling. Still played the gig, though; he had to have his guitar a bit higher-up, as I recall.
I had to go with him (and to all the subsequent gigs for a good couple of months) to change gear...I was about 13 at the time, I think.
Bloody nutter.
Didn't notice until after the gig when the lights came on and all my gear was covered in blood
After the gig, I went to eye casualty (yes, it's a thing) at the local hospital and was told by a very pretty ophthalmologist (who very generously didn't laugh at me when I told her what I'd done) that there wasn't really anything much wrong with my eye and to stop being such a pansy.
When I gigged with a Telecaster I often found I had a sore patch on my forearm the next day where it had been in contact with the edge of the body, but nothing like as bad as @Longtallronnie's
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
@digitalscream 20 years of poor technique and aggressive strumming I guess!
I also sweat like a bastard which probably doesn't help, also rules out long sleeves when playing.
I'm trying to convince the wife a smaller guitar would cure it but a long wrist sweatband is more likely.
Left hand tap to the jaw.
He need 7 stitches
This is what my guitar looked like after a show over 10 years ago. Didn't realise it happened.
hitting members of the audience with a 7-string is to be encouraged..
that's a proper metal gig..
picking things up badly, smashing fingers into doors / door frames whilst carrying stuff
after funk gigs I lose skin from the back of some fingers on the picking hand which gets pretty sore
Had to play without my middle finger.
Those ABM cabs were bastard heavy. I'm still wincing and it was about 15 years ago!
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
