Harry,
The worst injury I have ever received was when an onlooker attacked me from behind. He hit me so hard that the ring on my finger flew off. I received a concussion and a couple of days of amnesia. My attacker then proceeded to attack my opponent. I guess maybe he was a fanatic pacifist and the sight of two people fighting just totally pissed him off.
This happened several times during my teenage years. Eventually it dawned on me that when I was surprised by an attack or attacked from behind that I was getting my butt kicked pretty bad. I wasn't having any problem at all dealing with sudden attacks from the front.
Ever since I have endeavoured to train my self to two standards. Avoid surprise. Watch my six.
