I have had a couple the most recent one was while cycling to work last summer. I ran into a nice flatbed truck that disabled in the bike lane while coming down a hill. I had a road bike and was coming downhill at about 45km/h.
I had a fractured spine, I cut my lower lip through-and-through, lost a front teeth completely and severely displaced others. Not to mention a cut right down to my bone on my leg. I ate nothing but yougurt and jello for a while.
The front of my bike was all the way at the back. My frame got bent like a metal fork. I have pictures.
Lesson: If you ever decide to hit a truck make sure it's padded.
Changes: No really apart from not speeding down roads with a lot of traffic.
Can't wait to get another bike next summer!
