I think it is when I fell down an escalator when I was 4 or 5 years old. Apparently I was fine. I generally don't remember much from my early life but I guess the trauma from that set it into my mind. I'm currently 27 for reference.

I swear my first memory is falling down the stairs but neither of my parents can remember it ever happening

Ah really similar to me! Except I cracked my head open and apparently my memory of it is very accurate. I was 3 at the time.

I think the takeaway from the replies is here is that head trauma clearly improves memory.
