Like Pookabunny, I too have injured my ceiling with my sword. One night I was reinacting the Helm's Deep scene where Aragorn whips his sword over his head to command the soldiers to fire their arrows. Most unfortunately, my ceilings are not so high and I put a big gash in the living room ceiling and one on the ceiling near the stairwell.
I also cut my ceiling fan cord in a similar manner.
Once this summer, I accidentally shot my cat, Baby, with my sister's bow & an arrow. He's lost a lot of respect for me.
This past fall or winter, I was trying to "shieldboard" down my stairs on a big Rubbermaid box lid. I was lightly holding the bannister for safety, but I slipped anyhow. In the process of trying to keep my "proudfeet" on the box lid, I lost any and all balance that I had left and scraped up my legs on the inside of the lid. I also got some carpet burn.
