Well, in concert band in like eighth grade, this kid used to sit behind me and kick my bari sax so that the mouthpiece would slam repeatedly into my teeth, and it once made my lip bleed >_>; but I don't count that as the instrument hurting me.
This year, though, while I was setting up my stand and music, I had my bassoon case sitting next to me, balanced rather precariously, I admit. For whatever reason- I think gravity just had a bug up its a** that day- the case started to fall; I tried to catch it so that it wouldn't make a loud, obnoxious noise when it hit the floor, but the lock ended up slicing my hand open. .___. I played through the whole rehearsal with my hand bleeding all over my bassoon >_>; fun stuff.
And my hair always gets caught in my bassoon, too, which doesn't hurt, but it's obnoxious as hell.
Otherwise, yeah, it does seem that all of these things happen to sax players, because I always used to get hit in the face when I played alto. Just 'cause it swung or whatever. Not so much with the bari (at least, not on accident), probably 'cause it weighed more.

Ha ha, has my instrument ever drawn blood? I could tell you stories...
I remember in eleventh grade I was on stage and my little finger got caught as I was moving the slide on my trombone. I went to shoot the slide out to seventh position and my little fingernail went with it.
Ps: I did finish the concert before running to the medics... maybe not my smartest idea, but there ya go...

One of the spit valves on the sousaphone that I used last year is broken and taped up, but it has a couple sharp, metal pieces sticking out of it. Sometimes when I would move my arm up or down it would cut or tear my skin.

When were practicing for marching the flutes are so cramped and we keep hitting eachother in the temples or sides of faces... Weve knocked eachother down sometimes, it sucks

Oh hell yeah, plenty of times. More recently - during Marching band camp, I had to take my Xylophone to the football field across the road on the last day. Both on the way over and on the way back the Xylophone tipped over and hit me in the shin right above my foot. I now have a bruise the size of a big bouncy ball on my leg. It's still there, and it still hurts. And my Xylophone still tips over, just not as much.

I've banged my mouth up from pulling my trombone up too fast so many times.
Sometimes she hits me in the head when I'm not holding her tightly.
I get bruises on my legs from carrying my case to school and back too.

I don't think I've actually ever had one of my instruments hurt me. However one time in marching band they (my section leaders) were having us go to set position with baritones (yeah, I'm not sure how they got those baritones to do this, now that I think about it) when it got to me the mouthpiece was not secured in as much as it should have been and popped out and hit me in the face when I went to set position. >_< I don't actually remember it hurting, it's been several years, but it had to have. lol Whigg And my hair always gets caught in my bassoon, too, which doesn't hurt, but it's obnoxious as hell. How exactly does that happen? I'm curious. Never had that issue.

I've broke few reeds on my clarinet with my teeth in 4th and 5th grade.
But with my guitar? Not really, you have to try for that to happen. rolleyes

Yes it has, my tenor saxophone had a wire sticking out and it would often slice my hand open when I went to play lower notes (it was the school's saxophone), the case my tenor sax was in was flimsy and had no handle to carry it so I would often have to pick it up and carry it around only for the part I was hanging onto to fall off and the case to smash against my leg, it left quite a few nasty bruises.
