Aikido has been the cause of one broken finger-tip (not my fault) a sprained toe (just happened, we were playing tag, of all things) and the pinched nerve.
Fencing, well I have some small scars. The same for stick work, and knife fighting (those from falling, not from knives, we practice with rubber).
Hand to hand combat is scratches, a sprained thumb, a minor concussion or two.
If it was completely safe, it wouldn't be worth calling a martial art, even one as non-aggressive as aikido.
