This one Kiira Korpi took looks painful! Can anyone tell what caused it?

What are some of the most painful-looking falls you've seen skaters take, or yourself?

It was a "click of death." When she was doing the crossovers, the toe of her left blade made contact with the heel of her right blade.

The most painful falls I've taken have always been over my toepick.

This fall taken during Zhang and Zhang during the Olympics always makes me shudder.
