I remember stepping on a rusty nail as a kid, and I noticed that a plank of wood was stuck to my foot before I even registered how much pain I was in.

Same. Was in my grandfather's ranch as a kid and didn't see it coming as it was buried under cow shit. Apparently boot soles don't protect much against nails.

(Potentially) rusty nail covered in cow shit. That sounds like a bacterial nightmare.

I mean not a nightmare for the bacteria

That's what happened when I snapped my ulna and radius. Didn't know anything was wrong until I couldn't rotate my arm.

I looked down, saw it, then it started hurting.

I did the same when I was 10. Got lucky with the position and did no real damage despite the nail coming out the top of the top of my shoe.

I pulled my foot back and the nail come out. Went to tell my dad what happened and he was talking to someone and told me to wait so i did for about 5 minutes. I wasn't bawling in pain so he didn't know anything was wrong.

Went to hospital and got an X-ray, a tetanus shot and a bandage.
