Personally, the worst (non fatal) injury I ever saw was when Sid Vicious faced Scott Steiner and jumped off the top rope and landed wrong on and completely breaks his leg in half, the bottom of his leg was literally at a completely different angle than the rest of his leg and all I could think at that point was that he may never be able to walk on that leg again. Here is the video of the injury (watch it but be warned it is disturbing):

What injury would you pick?

I am talking about non fatal people, don't mention Owen Hart's death.

I agree with the death of Owen Hart. One of me coworkers was at the match when Owen Hart died. His son was 14 years old at the time and he was very upset that his son had to witness such a horrible accident.
Owen Hart was a very friendly and personable fellow. He signed an autograph for a mate of mine who was in a wheelchair. We had to go through the locker room to get onto the floor of the arena. Got to meet several of the wrestlers and they were all nice, but Owen made our day when he signed the autograph.

When I first read your question (before seeing the details) I had thought of the Sid Vicious event as well, so I will come up with a few others that come to mind.
In March 2000, Vic Grimes and New Jack.

New Jack suffered a cracked skull, brain damage, nerve damage in the eye and temporary blindness as a result of that fall. New Jack blamed Grimes for pulling away before the fall which caused Grimes to land on New Jack's head.
In a rematch later that year this event occured -

It looked worse than it was. Vic Grimes only dislocated an ankle as a result of that 40 foot fall. What was more disturbing was that in the 2005 documentary "Forever Hardcore", New Jack said he had thrown Grimes harder than he should have, hoping Grimes would hit the ringpost and be injured or possibly die.
In another match, not related to the first two, but again involving New Jack, there was this disturbing match from 1996 (over 6 minutes, some graphic) -

The Gangstanators (New Jack and John Kronus) were supposed to face D-Von Dudley and Axl Rotten, but Rotten wasn't able to make it there, so they had a replacement, Mass Transit (Eric Kulas). Kulas convinced Paul Heyman (in charge of booking matches) that he was 19 and was trained by Killer Kowalski. It turned out he was an untrained 17 year old. New Jack ended up cutting one of Kulas' arteries in that match. The result was 50 stitches but he took a beating that night.

The most disturbing would be the Mae Young giving birth episode was disgusting. Speaking of an injury though that would be at I believe, Summerslam ( I Think )a few years back it was the Hardcore Iron man match. All I can remember is one of the Mean Street Posse got nailed in the face with a fire hydrant and bleed like a slaughtered cow.

being a bit older I would have to say it was years ago when haystack was wrestling and by a miss cue in reaction time took a horseshoe to the throat. it recked his throat completely and took him out of wrestling. Owen Hart's death was probably the most disturbing due to the fact that it was unrehearsed and totally accidental so there was no miss cue involved. But over the years there have been so many that to say any one was worse than the other would fall short of human compassion that we should all feel for any athlete who puts there heart into entertaining those of us who watch. So I guess I wpuld say each one is disturbing in it's own way

The Sid Viscous injury is at the top of the list, but a very close second is the recent Joey Mercury injury from the pay per view

Ya the Sid Vicious break was bad, Luckily he is walking on it fine now and does a few indy shows here and there. Bob Holly's gash he received in his ecw match in November was bad and droz getting his neck broke was very disturbing also. Man there were some bad ones over the years.

It was a match in a small time association not sure if he slipped or tripped on the post, but he fell well short of a jump out of the ring. He broke his wrist, lost 2 teeth and gushed blood.
My friends match as supposed to be next but it and another match was canceled and the night ended with the main event.

The most disturbing injury was at Summerslam 2006 when it was a "I Quit" Match Mic Foley and Ric Flair. It was terrible.

That ladder match where Mercury broke his nose and lost like 50% of the vision in his eye. When they showed the injury happening, I felt so bad for Mercury.
