What's the dumbest way you hurt yourself? (1 Viewer)

Yeah I think cars are undefeated vs humans. Never seen a car in a hospital.

I managed to walk away, I only went to the hospital per requirement of being under age and highly intoxicated. Guy hit me at 40 mph. Definitely unpleasant, I have a permanent reminder due to a severely dislocated shoulder from the accident.

Necks are no joke. I hurt mine when I saw @inca911 ESPT set

I'll avoid putting the ridiculously deep ES Secondary set into play on Sunday. For your health. Any replacement requests?

Wasn't me, but a childhood friend of mine swung a baseball bat at a tree. In case you are not aware, a baseball bat is not an axe. The bounce on the bat threw it back into his face and busted his nose.
 
hmm nothing serious but i was somewhat embarrassed by these.

middle school> deep cut to my index finger by trying to be like Bruce Lee (1" punch) and broke the window in my bathroom. Still have a scar.
late teens> burnt hand by trying to pick up sky rocket that we were shooting out of a moving vehicle but my friend dropped it after he lit it.
mid 30's> tore my meniscus by carrying a box down the stairs and falling on the last step. that one sucked as i had to explain to people at work everywhere i went on what caused me to have a cast on my leg. At least when i tore my Achilles the following year, it was because during my karate class.

Good times!
 
I slipped and fell from some ice .... there's a big crack on my ass now :confused

We were renovating the downstairs of the house and to save money, I did the demo myself. After weakening the kitchen island, I decided to run and jump on it to knock it down to be funny and to have some fun. Ended up with gashes on my legs and arms and some nasty purple bruises that lasted for a couple weeks.
 
I have a scar on my right shin, the consequence of smacking a shovel into a flaming bowling ball.

I also have a scar on my chin, the consequence of an "interaction" with a plastic Pepsi bottle.
 
Uh yeah. So I was 18 and it was the night before I was supposed to leave for boot-camp. Friends threw me a keg party in the woods. I was drunk (shocking) and decided to jump over the fire. Well, I tripped and fell into the fire. 2nd degree burns on my back and forearms. Needless to say I didn't leave for boot-camp the next morning - it was nearly 5 months later. :dead:
 
Not too epic, but:
- Rode my bike into a parked car and scraped up my knee pretty good.
- Got my finger stuck in an airplane seatbelt when I was about 8. Didn't do any lasting damage, but it was weird and dumb.
- And this one was perpetrated by a friend: he had just seen the Karate Kid and was demonstrating the Crane Kick to me. He proceeded to kick me in the face and give me a bloody nose. Don't mess around with movie karate, people. It's serious stuff. :LOL: :laugh:

Fresh skin for the sick tattoos you were gonna get after financing a car with 24% apr?

Edit: this might be more relevant for my time in service

Co-worker comes in with a good sized bruise on her forehead - says she was laying down, holding her phone above her face when it slipped...

I cut my thumb open with a butter knife. You know those cans of frozen orange juice concentrate? The plastic strip tore, so I was trying to pry the lid off, and the knife slipped and went into the side of my thumb. Not even sure how it happened. It was deep, and since the knife was not super sharp, the cut was terribly painful. I thought I was going to pass out a couple time. My wife insisted that I needed to get stitches, but I didn't listen to her. :D

That's double dumb, right there.
 
16yrs old, bunch of us doing nothing. Decided to see who could pick up this huge anchor that was exposed after the tide goes out on the bank of the Thames.

Me (who obviously was the strongest :rolleyes:) picked it up with one hand. Lowered it down onto large rock. Was heavy enough that it crushed my finger.

The only bone ive ever broken.
 
Dislocated my kneecap.
While doing “karate kicks” by myself in the living room after watching a Jackie Chan movie.

wow, embarrassing.

Please tell me you were no older than 13. :D
 
Oooh i guess teeth are bones?

Sitting on a couch at an after hours party in my early 20s.
Someone hands me a bottle of beer. Being under the influence I use my teeth as a bottle opener.
Left side first. Crack!. Can feel a chip of tooth float in in my mouth. Move to the right side. Crack. Can feel another chip of tooth.

Look down at the bottle and twist the cap off. :rolleyes:

I can still feel where the teeth chipped. Nice reminder to not do stupid shit when your drinking.
 
I don't know about hurting MYSELF but when I was in 2nd grade, a girl attacked me at daycare center for no apparent reason and stabbed me in the face with a #2 pencil. Had to go to the ER to get the lead tip removed. My dad said this was a lesson from G-d about the nature of women. Needless to say he's been divorced 3 or 4 times.
 
I'm the worst combination of clumsy and ill-tempered all in one. Just a couple of the greatest hits:

1. 14 years old. Random Saturday morning. I'm starving. I'm jonesing for bagels so I ask my mother if we can go get some. We go get them and I'm so excited to get inside and put some butter on them that I closed the car door on my right thumb that just didn't quite clear the door latch. Dislocated thumb and a loss of a thumb fingernail that took two months to grow back completely, and an annoying about of dull, throbbing pain for a month. I popped the thumb back in myself at least. Still clicks a little to this day but nothing totally inhibiting.

2. 5 years ago. I'm boiling a pot of water to cook rice. I try to lift up the lid of the pot without a pot holder, yelp in pain and tilt the lid backwards back towards me. 2nd degree burn that I still have a scar from to this day right over my left radial artery. I'm lucky it didn't get that deep.

3. Just last year. I'm using one of those cheap automatic card shufflers for a small game between my buddies and I. This damn shuffler was giving us problems all night and I'm about 6 drinks deep and getting majorly tilted by this and the stupid hands I've been losing all night. The stupid thing finally stops working, and I just starting wailing away at it. Had a nice 2-3 inch long gash that miraculously didn't get that deep along the right side of my hand. Got lucky there too.

AND THE ONE THAT TAKES THE CAKE

I'm nine years old playing soccer. I'm chasing a defender down and try to block a clearing attempt. The ball hits me on the outside of my left upper arm and I feel a really sharp pain there. My parents being my parents think I'm full of it and give me a couple of Tylenol and tell me to get back out there. I finish the game scoring the winning goal. After the game I pleaded with my parents again saying that something didn't feel right. Go to the hospital for x-rays and there's a left arm fracture and, oh, a bone cyst that may or may not be Ewing's sarcoma (cancer basically, look it up). 24 hours later and I'm admitted to the hospital after a bone marrow biopsy that was thankfully negative, but I ended up needing two deep bone steroid injections just so the bone would continue to grow normally after the fracture healed and the cyst went away. I needed monthly x-rays for three years. I missed an entire season of soccer and needed to wear this nasty brace over the arm for three more years before I was cleared for full contact without use of the brace. Yeah, never want to go through that again.
