Has anybody ever gotten hit by space debris?

The Sky is Falling?

There has been one report since the beginning of the space age (almost 40 years ago) of a person getting hit with space debris. Fortunately, the object was lightweight and only caused minor injury. The largest piece of debris to fall to Earth has so far been NASA's Skylab, which weighed in at 70,000 kilograms.
