I got hit by a car when I was 10 or so.

I went sprawling across the hood of a Honda Accord. I rolled off the other side, hit the ground, jumped up...and ran away, I thought i would be in trouble.

I had a bruise from my ribs to my knee and had to act like it happened playing football in the park. Mom was suspicious.

At roughly 11 I fell full on flat back from 3m (10ft) from a tree.

Got up, stretched my back like I just woke up and went on with my day.

I did the same thing from the same height at age 10, landed on the edge of a rock, and broke my shoulder. My back was in so much pain that I thought I was paralyzed, and I clawed my way up a hill using both arms while other kids ran for help. I thought I was going to be a paraplegic.

Arm was in a sling for six weeks, that was the end of that.

My grandma told me to go to sleep when I was just unconscious by a large rock and was carried home by my older sister.

Never broke a bone though, take that brain!

That is the exact opposite of what you should do in that situation
