I've had major injuries dealing with the fish pond too. Usually just muscle ache from trying to get the reeds out when they overgrow, but one time I fell in, and slashed my arm on the island, and ended up with a big hole in my arm and blood everywhere. Weird thing was, I didn't notice until I got out. It didn't hurt. I guess that's endorphins or something.
