Loss of their writing arm.
Unbelievably, that doesn't excuse you. They can call in someone to write for you as you read out the answers. Happened in my old school through GCSEs strangely enough.
To be properly excused, you're looking at something contagious, or if you're hospitalised. I know someone who got their grades set from predicted grades and coursework because they had mumps.
If it is the hospital type of thing then yes you can be excused and they use your predicted or mock grades instead. This is what happened to someone at my school. This girl she was very unfortunate cos she was ill and they used her mock/predicted grades. But you need like a doctor's note etc.
if you eat something you're allergic to right before the exam - they can't let you take it if you're vomiting everywhere! Unfortunatly i'm not allergic to anything 
Anything potentially leading to death is pretty good 
I bet smallpox would.
Pretty hard to catch though...
Or maybe the plague...

Your examinations officer is the best person to ask.
The JCQ (Joint Council of Qualifications) will need to be informed if the issue is serious.
If he does the exam, consideration of up to 5% can be given, but only in serious cases such as immediate family death/bereavement, or terminal illness.
Though you'll need a doctors note if the JCQ are going to pass the grades presented.
