Twice...

First time was 15 years ago.
I was a passenger in the cart. The driver pulled up in front of his ball just a little. I didn't think I was in any danger since he was a pretty good player.
This time...not so good. He toed his 5 wood and the ball hit me in the left elbow...knocking me out of the cart.
Luckily all it was a soft tissue injury only...a knot the size of the ball instantly developed, but I was able to finish the round with the help of a couple of adult beverages, tylenol and a bag of ice.

Second time was 5 years ago.
Playing a team best ball, one of my team members is in the trap and tries to get out. No luck after 3 swings, so he picks it up.
I go to tend the flag for another member and am facing away from the trap. While I am holding the flag, the trap member decides to drop the ball and try one more time.....without telling me. The next thing I know, I am on my back, staring at the bright blue sky and all 3 teamates are standing over me asking if I was ok.
I didn't even feel the ball hit me behind my left ear from the bladed SW and was out for only a few seconds. I did feel the knot for the rest of the day and had to listen to the guy that hit me apologize over and over and over for the rest of the round.
