Oh, I'm a walking calamity OP 
Memorable ones are ending up with a 3 inch, down to the bone gash in my shin after walking into a piece of wood that I'd just put there. A trip to A&E after an altercation with a laundry basket. And most recently, scratching my eye with a crisp packet  |

Ohh there's a list of them...
D*unk cycling home from the pub one night, I tried to see if I could trigger the speed camera, hit a parked car and smashed the windscreen as well as my face and collar bone.
Set up a work softball group to get us all active, slipped picking up the ball - broke, dislocated and ruptured ligaments in my finger. |

Do you want the most recent, I am a walking disaster zone! I avoid hazardous situations to avoid harming myself.
I recently tried to sand my own skin off my finger and knuckles while making something, then on the same day (same project) stabbed myself with a new Stanley blade (that I proclaimed was a new blade before I started the task).

Rode my mothers bike home for her aged 10 only to hit a tree for the bike then to open ( it's was a fold away one ) and then I slipped off the seat onto the open bit moved the handle bars and snapped it shut on my penis.
Still got the scar to prove it, scar underneath on the shaft. Mail me for proof. |

I'm terribly sorry but that mental image did make me chuckle  |

Broke my nose and eye socket leaning on a bathroom door at a party. I must have been napping when the door opened and missed the step down into the bathroom because next thing I know my face is smacked against the sink and people are screaming call an ambulance |

At an old job we had a machine that snapped steel rebar was using it and at the same time working my ticket trying to wind the lad on the bench next to the machine up and not concentrating left my finger in there when I pressed the foot pedal luckily the angle of my finger prevented it being cut off but it ripped the skin open and bent the finger over to one side. Was a lesson I’ll not forget in a hurry
Not sure if this counts as an injury but was self inflicted through negligence I had a really bad sickness bug and was vomiting for almost 24 hours straight and couldn’t keep any liquids down I tried to go to work and a friend who had showed up for a bit crack told me to be careful for getting too dehydrated and go to the walk in place if needed, I went home and ignored his advice thinking my body would eventually let me keep water down and I’d pull round, later that evening the dehydration was so bad I couldn’t walk more than a few steps because of the cramps, another friend came over and she forced me to go to the minor injuries place when she took me there they couldn’t get a pulse or blood pressure reading they stuck a drip in me and got an emergency ambulance turned out was so dehydrated blood had clotted and some went into heart and caused a heart attack they told my friend that good job I came as body was shutting down and may not make it through night, obviously did thanks to the emergency team at cramlington hospital |

Worked with wood most of my working life so had plenty of cut fingers. Most recent injury fell out our loft when ladder slipped. Made things worse trying to stop myself, put both arms out. Still hit the floor and months later still have issue with my shoulder |

Touched wheels with another car in a single-seater race in Germany and went from driver to pilot to part of the country side in a nano second.
The broken bones were relatively minor and well on the way to healing by the time I came around. The twists, sprains and bruises a more serious, but the head injury that had me in a coma for 21 days almost fatal and still causes memory issues over thirty years later.
But I was young then and it was a bit of craic. |

Worst....
Fell off a zip line at nuclear races summer party, badly strained and almost torn rotator cuff, which shattered the humerus head and an impact injury on my leg that ulcerated and resulted in having to have the front of my leg debrided.....left woth a clicky shoulder and a lovely scar on my leg.
I'll add this was my 3rd or 4th trip on it, I picked a different line when this happened.
Other than that the worst was slipping off a kerb d*unk and busting my lip open

Most recent was a gash in my hand (looked just like it as well) about two inch long and deep enough to see tendons, knife slipped whilst whittling.
3 visits to a and e for swarf in my eyes from grinding... it's an odd feeling watching a needle head straight to your eyeball and then feeling it as they try and dislodge said foreign objects from the back.
Most painful was thumbnail ripped completely off and out whilst polishing on a metal lathe. Twice I nearly flaked out from the pain of that.
Scariest was thinking I'd lose the end of my finger and not daring to take the glove off after 1/2 tonne fabrication fell loose from its sling and landed in a steel railing, my finger in between. Carried on working, dripped blood on my drawings trying to nail another contract, went to the pub and few hours later either a and e trip. |

I’ve had lots of self induced accidents over the years, but the worst (pain wise) I scalded myself with a freshly made cup of tea. I had second degree burns over my wrist and still have the scars.
I screamed AND cried on that one  |

I guess it would either be taking a kickboxing fight at short notice when I was unfit and a weight too heavy for me which resulted in a cut eye, broken nose, and fractured jaw in 2 places. Not technically my fault as I didn't hit myself but I should have known better taking a fight in those circumstances
Or
I tried to open a tin when the ring snapped off with a knife. Ended up stabbing myself in the hand. Quick hospital trip for it to be put back together and some hand therapy.

I once jumped on a nail and it went right through my foot.
I was fucking around with my brothers and snapped my elbow which completely fucked up my arm it was an awful break and then the hospital fucked it up even more leaving me with loads of nerve damage.
I have very bad knee pain now and I think it's because I used to jump off like 12ft walls with my brothers and we would do it all Summer long. O.o
Also have a small scar somewhere on my bum from sifting on a pair of straighteners. |

Sliced through the middle of my finger from the tip, using a butcher's slicing machine.
Broke 2 ribs, downhill biking, when a tree didn't move out of the way.
Landed on my back on cacti spines, after falling from a runaway horse.
Thankfully, recent events have only resulted in the odd bruise.

Depressed skull fracture the size of an old 10p,deliberately sliding down a very long garden downhill ice slide with a jump of five steps onto the next level.No idea what happened but I headbutted the bottom step corner.Ignored it.It healed.
Filled a finger full of brass fragments when a live round I was modifying detonated.The last sliver came out a couple of years ago complete with the usual green gunge.
Blew myself across the room because some tit had been pissing around with the plug socket,felt like a sledgehammer in the chest. |

You can work out the rest ...
Still to this day, don't remember everything from that night ... lol
Got my finger stuck in a conveyor belt at an old job and it took all the skin down to the bone off the whole top of my left index finger... that really hurt ...
And I've had 4 dislocations in 4 years... all same left shoulder... three of them was d*unk related (obvs) and the last one was, I was just taking my coat off and went to throw it across the room and on the back of the chair and it just popped out again ... had op and fixed it but still feel it every winter ... lol

When I was younger I got exceptionally d*unk on some straight vodka, proceeded to run out in front of a police car on a main road, got carted home and whilst the inevitable vomiting kicked in I missed the toilet bowl and smacked my face of the tiled bathroom floor - this resulting in a fractured jaw and a lovely purple bruise!
Not my finest hour |
