I've seen that happen.
Freaking.Ouch.
I've gotten knocked around and cut up a bit but nothing all too serious. A little blood never hurt anyone.

Jeez... I can hardly remember some of them... 
I got into a fist fight in the middle of the pit once... and lost. lol
I got thrown backwards into a bar stool which I tripped over and knocked over about 50 glasses of alcohol. That was stupid though, they shouldn't have all those liquor bottles right near the front in a small club.
I got a broken nose from an elbow in the face at Dillinger Escape Plan...
At one concert a looooong time ago, I was especially loaded, (so loaded I don't even remember what band it was...) but the band, in the middle of one of their songs, split the room into two parts and told us to kill each other. That was insane... I couldn't drive home after that, I was too bruised and battered up. Amazingly no broken bones though.
I've gotten hurt much worse actually PERFORMING at certain shows lol. Far more dangerous to the non-musicians out there.

Worst for me was Loollapalooza...94 I think it was. It was the one with Rage Against The Machine, Fishbone, Alice In Chains, Primus, and some others I can't remember. During the Alice In Chains set people started throwing empty water bottles into the air - so many that they literally filled the sky. Scary thing was some got filled with mud, and some still had water in them. One of them clonked me in the back of the head, hard, and I was on the ground.
Of course, then me and my dumbass friends were all "that was awesome" and kept moshing.

^ Hey, I worked at that Lollapalooza! ^
Anyway, my "mosh pit" story is fairly tame (or was that "lame"?), but I'm *so* not the mosh pit type, so it's something to *me*...
It was a Siouxsie and the Banshees concert... I know what you're thinking--and no, it wasn't a proper "mosh" pit, but it was a pit alright and I was crammed up against the railing with people pressing up against me and jumping up and down in such a way that *I* also had to jump up and down for fear that my skin would be scraped off otherwise.
Anyway, everything happened so fast... The railing started collapsing, I briefly blacked out and when I came to, there was a guard beneath us, pinned under the railing, screaming. There was quite a bit of confusion at that point, but I wasn't hurt. I never did know how badly that guard was hurt, though. So... I guess this was more a story of that guard's battle scars.

I don't remember getting injured in the mosh pit, just some random groping. My steel toed jack boots were more than just a fashion statement.

This one time... well no..
errr this other time!! hrm.. no
I've never been hurt in a pit, because I dont go in them. I'm not one to brag about how hurt I just got by people swinging their arms for no reason at me. Mosh pits are retarded.

Eh, the idea of a mosh pit has been distorted over the years; it was never intended to harm anyone originally.
I've been through my share and never had any issues with personal injuries. I've certainly had a few possessions of mine broken, but that was my own fault.

The shows Ive gone to, if someone gets tripped up or something and falls, the people around him/her stop and help them up, or if people are throwing fists (with intent to injure), someone else will throw them out of the pit.

While a legend of the pits when they used to really be pits, the only time I was injured was at a concert for the band called "ALL".
A skin did a stage dive while wearing combat boots, somehow one of his boots contacted w/the top of my head, tearing a good sized rip in it, making the blood flow instantly all over the place.
Everyone backed away, the guy even came up and apologized, not that that really mattered to me, but the bad thing was is that our car was double parked. Meaning, we had to wait for the show to be over before going to the hospital where they gave me 5 staples after a really good scrub down with iodine. The iodine scrub was the worst part as you can imagine.
It wasn't fun at the time, but looking back, it's always a fun story to tell.

last concert I was at was Tiger Fest (local college has bands and basically students get drunk starting at like 9am) so every was completely loaded. More fights broke out that never went anywhere than ive ever seen in my life. The band came out and said that the more people that would mosh, and harder they moshed, the harder and longer they would play. So a pretty damn huge cirlce opened up in front of the stage and everyone was going crazy, drunken idiots were falling by the dozens to create inanimate obstacles in your path. So if you somehow survived the crazy skin head moshers (like 5 creating havoc by kicking people in the balls), then you most certainly got taken down by your fallen comrades. I quickly left after this jackass nailing me in the balls REAL HARD from behind. Never did get to see who did it. But after I left this BIG black dude in a doorag (like 6'6' and 300+ lbs) came in and began demolishing anyone he saw with some charing hits that would make Ray Lewis wince. Was a great time, and I got to laugh at the countless morons crowd surfing over the heads of other completely drunken morons get droppd head first on the hard ground.
On a side note I did find a wallet with 20 bucks in it that someone grabbed off the poor crowd serfer and just lobbed it across the crowd. I got to drink for free that night.

Nothing severe has ever happened to me, i'm pretty lucky as i've been in some serious pits.
I've seen a number of broken noses, arms, legs, etc etc
worst i've had is a steeltoe boot land on top of my head. Nothing i hate more than crowd surfers in a pit. ><

I love mosh pits, welllll I used to, getting bit too old now heheh
worst i have had is a doc martin smash me square on the nose from a crowd surfer - missed rest of the concert due to blood and stuff pouring from my nose, didnt break but was painfull for days - if anyone knows the Aussie bad Midnight Oil, you will know how awesome their mosh pits are
best mosh pit was at a Violent Femmes concert, the mosh pit was like half the audience, they played like 5 encores and it was amazing concert.
