I have to agree, fookin canes! and my knees/shins twist around so it happens even more, hurts the worst when it's on the top and on the side of the knee
Especially if its rather square shaped like mine. Shinning yourself with your pedals is close to the top on the pain scale as well. especially when you slip and it does a full pedal revolution to pick up momentum before eating into your shin.

The pedal shin experience is nasty, my legs are mashed up with gouges from some lovely dmr terrorpins on my v12's , gotta love em.

I havent done it but my mate has haha, he said it f'ing hurt! Not suprised he done it on my bike too, snapped the chain and knee'd the bars I was gutted! 3 days old chain gone! Haha! Oh well..!
I have done the knee stem thing and yeah that hurts, pedal to shin I think is worse though.
Worse than all though is a cold December night, wet greasy football field put your foot on the ball, ball spins off on the wet surface ankle just gives way and snapped ankle ligaments.... thats been my worst ever pain.
Ive done that before on a line of jumps. hooked up a bit on a jump, went to pedal to get speed for the next one and the chain had come off. Smashed my knee on the stem and then stacked the next jump. waheey!
You don't know what pain is until you break a foot.
I've broken both femurs (don't ask), wrists, fingers, shoulder, nose, cheekbones. Kneed countless stems, torn ligaments, slipped a few pedals, been KO'd and not a single one of those compares to breaking my foot in the pain scales.
Driving home with a broken right foot was possibly the least fun thing i've ever had the displeasure of doing.
