It didn't happen to me personally, but I worked on a flight simulator. Not the fancy kind which moves around but it still used hardware from the real cockpit, including the stick and its actuators. And if the controller is not properly initialized, the stick will slam left and back, hitting the leg of the guy in the pilot seat. For men, it can be much worse... Another bench had a real aircraft gun mounted on a turret that is also controlled by software. No ammunition of course, but it is still a big metal pipe swinging around at great speed, thankfully, that one was fenced because that's the kind of thing that can easily break bones, maybe even kill you on a bad hit.
