We've all had bad days, and we'll bet that last Sunday happened to be one for Michael Schumacher.  While driving a Fiat van through Kent, England, the F1 legend managed to clip a security gate.

That gate, in turn, struck the man closing it - Martin Kingham, a 39-year-old used car dealer.  Kingham was locking up for the night when Schumacher hit the barrier, which hit Kingham's leg and sent him 'flying.'

Although both Kingham and police couldn't believe the driver was Schumy, a spokesperson for the retired racer confirmed his involvement.  Fortunately, both parties were unhurt, and went their separate ways.
