Make every injury worse than the last.

The first time you get badly hurt, you may think its the worst pain you've ever experienced. (You may look back on it later and think you overreacted, but even so.).

The next injury is worse, more horrific, could potential leave you in a cast for weeks.

The next time, lying on the ground, you think you're going to lose the limb afterwards.

The next time, lying on the ground, you DO lose the limb, before you can get to the medics.

Etc.
