Cool. Oriental dragons aren't something you see too much of here in the West. The news article is an interesting touch.
I've hit myself pretty hard on furnishing corners before; it leaves marks on the skin and hurts a lot, but falling wouldn't open up a bleeding gash; at least, not one that bleeds that much. Not enough to slip on and be considered a "large amount". When my brother was a toddler he charged into a corner at full speed and had to get stitches over his eye. There wasn't much blood at all. If he knocked over a glass jar and fell on it, maybe.
A thing to note about Chinese dragons: the number of digits. Ages and ages ago, only the royal family could wear representations of dragons with five digits terminating each limb. Everyone else could only have four. If the Emperor favored you and gave you a dragon-bedecked kimono, you immediately had to get rid of a toe on each foot of each representation.
