When I spent a lot of time laying in bed using a laptop, my typical position was to put my knees up and open the computer at an obtuse angle on my stomach. The only problem I’ve had with this was one time when I shifted positions and my MacBook fell forward, striking the bridge of my nose with the edge of the lid. We all know how sharp the edges are on MBPs, right? It left a 1 cm scar on my nose.

What, you still have the scar?!
Yes, if you look carefully you can see where it was, 9 years later. My skin heals strangely, perhaps. I was just looking at a dark spot from a small burn I got cooking last summer and wondering if that's normal.

With how severe the corner is on the MacBook, I’d compare the impact to being whacked with the back of a 4 lb butter knife.
