After reading endless threads about how omnipotent Seagal appears in his movies, I thought I'd invest a bit of effort in compiling a list of times that Seagal is hit in his movies. And going from memory (without actually rewatching all the movies) you'll find that he takes a lot more punishment, than his detractors give him (dis)credit for?
Above The Law: Drugged and Beaten
Hard To Kill: Shot and put in a coma
Marked For Death: knocked unconscious by henchmen and punched/headslammed several times by Screwface.
Out For Justice: Hit with a pool cue and later shot in the stomach
Under Siege: Cut with hooks on his back and a knife slash to his eye
On Deadly Ground: Blown up
Under Siege 2: Shot, punched and kicked to the head
The Glimmer Man: Kicked in the stomach, punched in the nose
Executive Decision: (spoiler alert) KILLED
Exit Wounds: Punched, kicked
Half Past Dead: Shot, punched
The Foreigner: Knocked unconscious, strangled, tortured
Belly Of The Beast: Punched, kicked
Clementine: Punched, kicked, defeated in combat.
Out Of Reach: Punched
Into The Sun: Kicked
Submereged: Kicked
Black Dawn: Punched
Attack Force: Punched, knocked down and horrendously dubbed
Urban Justice: Shot
Kill Switch: Punched on several occasions
Driven To Kill: Punched and Kicked in the final fight
The Keeper: Shot and hospitalised
Machete: Stabbed and killed (although slightly suicidal)
Not to mention the fact that the bad guys always manage to hurt his feelings in EVERY movie

You are forgetting that Seagal has been Deified by the Dalai Lama. That is why he doesn't get hit; the japanese people consider him to be a God.
There are other subtle cues pointing to that in many of his films -

To tell you the truth I hate movies where hero gets badly beaten but somehow gathers final strengt and beats the villain. That's nonsense.
Either you make hero equal to villain or better.
However I do think Seagal gets even less hits in his past movies last 10 years. That's why Seagal movies in 1988-2005 were better than ones he made in the last 10 years. -

I think audiences after a while caught up in the repetition of Seagals movies. It was after he it hit big w/
Under Siege
(ironically, Seagals version of
Die Hard
) that it seemed like hes ego really got let loose (hence, his environmental vanity project
On Deadly Ground
). And of course, he rose a big stink over getting killed in
Executive Decision
. I think that had Steven rose to stardom several years prior to
Die Hard
, he may have gotten more mileage out of his shtick.
Sooner or later, Steven shouldve realized that he had to reinvent himself so to speak, like get into ensembles (like
Executive Decision
), do comedy on occasion, or even try to play a villain (like he did in
Machete
many years later). But again, I just dont think that Stevens ego wouldve permitted him to get to far out of his safety net.
I think Steven aligning himself w/ hip-hop artists like DMX and Ja-Rule was the closest he came to a reinvention. And a first, it seemed to payoff as
Exit Wounds
was surprisingly successful given Stevens more recent track record up until that point. Its just that w/ the later movie (
Half Past Dead
), they made the mistake on trying to aim for a PG-13 rating (up until that point all of Steven Seagals films have been R-rated, so naturally his fan-base was going to get a watered down film), and by that time, Steven was no longer convincing (due to his physical condition at the time) to truly be convincing in heavy-duty fight scenes. It all felt like I guess, a B-movie version of
The Rock
