While hanging cabinets, got my hand screwed into the wall 3. let my wife drive my car and ended up in intensive care with a spinal injury 4. put dog treats in my fron pants pocket (not going to give the details on the injury) 5.

The stupidest way I have ever hurt myself. This is a good one. I was helping my father fix a hole he had put in the ceiling in the new house. He hadnt wanted mom to knowhe did it, so we were trying to fix it ourselves. First part was going to be knocking the support for the fixure he had ripped down out of the suport beam up there, and then we were going to patch tghe hole and put the fixture back up. Great plan While trying to knock the bracket for the fixture loose, I dropped the hammer on my foot, on the ladder. Not to be daunted, although sore, I retrieved the hammer and repositioned the ladder for a better shot. I finally got the bracket lose, and the hammer caught in the bracket. I tugged the hammer losose, only to knock myself off balance, tip the ladder over, with bracket and hammer in hand, land on my tailbone, ladder on top of me, and hammer and bracket barely missing my head. Spent a few hours in the emergency room being xrayed for all the bits I could have broken (nothing but bruises thankfully) and came home to "What did you do to my ceiling!"

He was so busy laughing that He took a while to realise i was hurt, then He had to get me dressed to take me to the hospital. nice thread, i like this one, wench My ex wife, when we had first married...we were probably married all of 10 weeks...ran downstairs to grab something from under the stairs...under the stairs was all our storage in the entire world. It also housed our hot water heater. Under the water heater was this tin thing that probably had a 3 quart capacity, crimped up on all four corners, but it was required by the construction city department of something or other...for the potential overflow and complete failure of a 65 gallon water heater. Right. Anyway, the wife went downstairs to get something and she had to step over the tin crimped thing to get whatever it was she wanted. About 9 seconds later she's upstairs, bouncing around on one foot, screaming and yelling, blood flowing everywhere, she comes up, jumps on the bed, gives me that pouty look and says "I just scrunched my foot on the water heater thing"....I looked at her foot, smiled at her with complete love, stuck her foot gently on my pillow, said "I'll be back in a second", ran downstairs, came back up, looked her deeply in her eyes and said.... "It's okay honey, don't worry...you didn't hurt the water heater". Now, I gotta tell you...that was some fucking funny shit. (Some chics just don't have a sense of humor).

When in the military...brought an artillery simulator home. (A paper towel roll sized thing that you pull the string and toss it at the 'enemy' in war games...filled with flash powder.) Wellll....it didnt go off, and after several days sitting outside I thought it safe to open up and pour the powder out and light in an open can. The thinking was if it wasn't contained, then it won't explode. My dad was nearby as I was tossing match after match in the open can. After about the 5th match; I said "Hey dad , watch this....." and leaned cautiously over the edge just as I saw the flame ingite the disaster. The edge of the can directed the flames very nicely in a column that ended in my face. To say the least I looked like a flaming marshmallow from my neck up. I forced my eyes open and flushed them waiting for the ambulance. Quick trip to the ER...eye doc Fresh from Vietnam was there to save my vision...and a bunch of really squeamish nurses cringing as they put ointment on for the next week saved me from disfigurement and blindness. Soooo....a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Then there's the oxymoron called military intelligence... A side note on the aftermath: I really felt embraced by a higher power and healed with no facial scarring and only a scant nick in one cornea...no visual deficit. This event was one of several nudges that brought me into my career as an RN. The power of prayer and positive thinking (even though I was resigned to being a blind freak) showed me that there are forces at play which can be miraculous. Yes I still enjoy fire, explosives, firearms, and an occaisional toasted marshmallow.

Several years ago, my Mom decided she wanted carved pumpkins for hallowe'en. Well, I have a problem with knives.. I tend to cut myself with them. So, to be safe, I bought those kid safe plastic carving blades. I was on the second pumpkin, carving out one of the eyes... I had started from the bottom (mouth, nose, then eyes... don't ask me why... it made sense at the time), so the pumpkin flesh wasn't as firm as it should have been... I hold the part where the nose was carved, to steady the above piece so I could finish with the eye. Lo and behold, my hand slips. The one with the kid safe knife. I cut straight through the pumpkin to my finger. The knife stopped after it cut through my nail and hit the bone of my index finger (the distal phelanx, for those who are interested [8\|]). Needless to say, it hurt A LOT, and I don't carve pumpkins anymore.

While working at Black Labs, Inc I was drilling wiring holes into fiberglass housings. My boss distracted me and I drilled a hole in the flesh webbing between the second and ring finger of my left hand. Of course, instead of turning the drill off - taking it out of the chuck - and threading it out the hole from the other side ... I put the drill in reverse and wound it back out the housing ... bringing all those lovely fiberglass threads up into the hole in my hand.

OK, slipped over in the changing rooms at the local pool/gym. Was fine until the next morning, woke up paralysed from the knee down for two weeks. I thought it was gout. Nuh uh. Damaged ligaments and still not right three months later. Just cos of a fall at the gym? That's stupid. Or there was the time my girl was seven months pregnant, just stepping into the bath. I decide I want a drink, stand up and shatter the glass I was going to use, cutting one toe to the bone. I call my girl: "Um, honey, can you come here a minute?", she sees the huge stream of blood and freaks out, so there I am, leg elevated, stopping the blood with a dishcloth, trying to calm her down enough to tourniquet it so we can go call for an ambulance. Damn anaesthetic injection hurt ten times more than that frikkin cut. Lost count of the silly, minor injuries I've picked up without noticing, like the time I cut the web between my thumb and index finger and only realised when someone ELSE pointed out I had blood trickling down my finger, or the many huge gashes i've had from bumping into kitchen units or walls or something too hard, again, only noticed by someone else when I took my trousers off later. A regular conversation in our house: "How did you do THAT?" "Damned if i know..."

My own stupid thing was long ago in my drunken youth when I decided that riding an unbroken pikey pony bareback might be sensible then discovering that my mate had unchained it. The damn thing went wild when it realised a good 10seconds before I did. In the end it bucked me off onto a bile of rubble bricks square onto my back and head. The pain was immense. My friend just stood there laughing for a good 5 minutes before realising I hadn't moved and just appeared to be staring up at the sky. She thought I was dead. Trying to move off that rubble was hell. I was lucky that I hadn't broken anything, but bar for a few scratches and bruises I was fine. We did the right thing tho & spen the next 1/2 hour catching the horse and re-tethering it so it couldn't run thru the estate and get hurt. The funnier one was a mate who when aged about 5 was told by her older brother that the way to eat a sherbet fountain was to snort it. Anyway her mum walked into the room to find her bro on the floor breathless thru laughter and her on the floor crying in pain foaming at the mouth and nose while having a nose bleed. Her mum went nuts. God I nearly died as she told the story complete with over gesture and action!

Or you could consider the time dh bought a v-slicer, I read the instructions saw the video. was reassured it was safer than a knife... so happily slicing away (except co-ordination isn't my best friend).... slicey, slicey, slicey then it got stuck so I pushed it back and tried again slic-stuck. did this a few times until I decided to yank it hard. The veg I was slicing and the safety guard thingy stayed in place. My finger shot forward into the V-blade. The pain, the blood. I nearly passed out when I ran it under the cold tap to rinse it clean before putting the plaster on. I called for dh who nearly vomitted when he saw the blood. So there I am holding my hand high trying to get a plaster on it. I had to wait about 3 weeks for the nail to grow long enough so I could cut it as was hanging on by 3mm. I have never used the v-slicer since.

My brothers buddy came over one day on his motorcycle; asked if I wanted a ride. As I was getting on he warned me to keep my leg away from the pipe. Needless to say, I put my leg on the pipe [&:] Can we say brain fart? [8D]

LaTigresse -> RE: The stupidest way you ever hurt yourself (11/18/2006 7:21:19 AM)
Oh good grief I have sooooooo many! Pulling weeds and cutting a finger down to the ligaments.....on sharp grass. Misc burns. Too many horse accidents to remember, the most stupid was counting on a scared horse to follow me, he did. Right over the top of me. Fractured collar bone. Running to answer the phone right out of the tub......on linoleum.....naked and wet. I didn't make the corner. Classic banana peel type fall, fractured pelvis, but since I hate doctors I was not aware. Just thought I bruised something badly. Rode a green horse 3 weeks later on a cattle drive, it bucked. Hurt so bad I almost blacked out on the horse. Took some RX pain pills, rode 3 more hours and had to be lifted off the horse and layed in the back of my brothers truck. My doctor was not impressed. Oh, my favourite reaccuring one. Banging my head on a low beam in the barn. It has been there for years, I know this, yet I consistantly walk into it. Trying to run, on ice, in leather soled boots. Another spectacular fall. Sore tailbone and a lump on my head. Roller skating after many margaritas, darting little kids, think windmill into a wall. I could write a book on this subject, I am a space cadet and a klutz.
