Broken nose, 2 broken toes, pulled back and various cuts and bruises. ..
Jump to: Newest in thread
nearly drilled into my groin when a drill bit 'skittered' across a piece of metal I was drilling..
the bit wrapped itself in my trouser leg and the tip left a graze too close to my left testicle for my comfort..
hey ho.. |

My sink wouldnt drain. So lent over to have a look and headbutted the knife that was on the drainer.
The knife went into the bone and lifted off the drainer then dropped. I nearly passed out, but was thankful it wasnt my eye  |

Had a narrow escape last week while exiting the loft having finished wiring in new bathroom lights.
Totally missed the top rung and slid about 8ft straight down the ladder and landed flat on both feet, how i didn't break a leg/ankle etc i have no idea, didn't even bruise my arse as it clipped each rung 
I did however fall off a 1 foot high platform about 2 years ago, right over on my ankle, could hardly walk for 3 weeks and it turned a lovely deep purple |

That's the first time I've ever heard of Deep Purple being classed as lovely  |

I know a few metal heads that might disagree with that statement but deep purple is the best colour description- if i could be arsed to look i'd post a picture

I was bloody lucky. I was cutting some wood on a bandsaw when the wood had been cut with the saw blade, my hand shot forward and hit the blade. Thanks god all I did was cut an inch slice out of my finger. |

A extension ladder I was using came apart when I was dropping it,
Hit my thumb on the way down and it ended up facing the opposite way,
I had to shake my hand from my wrist fast to help it pop back in,
I would of taken a picture of it but I was shitting myself |

Had a beam from a concrete sectional garage fall on my head and had to get an ambulance out. Had head x-rays and the split glued up. This is the same garage that I had my heart attack a couple of days after I collected it, so it`s had two attepts at killing me! |

I don't do DIY. Even painting - always end up like a painter's radio within minutes, and not in a good way.
Right now I'm suffering from some serious cardboard cuts (like paper cuts but more extreme) from packing up the house. |
