Dumb injuries

Lets put it this way-when I saw this thread come up I said "Chris will own this thread by the end of today"

 

i also have a scar on the back top of my head from when i was younger, me and my sis were spinning in my dad's drawing table chair........it tipped over and i hit my head on the solid oak desk leg. it was bleeding like a stuck pig, and all my step mom could say was " get outta the house...........you're bleeding on my carpet"!!! whatta biotch!!!

 

I'm really sorry, but this one made me laugh!! You were trying so hard.......

^^^AND THEY'RE ALWAYS RIGHT!!!!!

 

Last Oct I was MTB riding and had a nothing wreck, except my hip landed on a root. I laid on the ground a while and thought about what a big dumbass I was, then I pedaled 2 miles out of the woods on one leg. I chipped a bone on my greater trochanter (top of the thigh bone).
Last week I was playing soccer with my kids and pulled a calf muscle, it felt like someone hit me in the calf with a golf ball.
Below is a MTB slideout cut on my knee.

 

That's nasty!

 

I am the "pit crew" for my family. I did a tuneup on my son's former truck-'87 nissan with a 5-speed. After I finished, I told him to start it up. I was standing in front of the truck. He had it in 1st gear and after he started it he let the clutch go and hit me launching me backwards into the front corner of a Mercedes. I couldnt breathe at all for almost 2 minutes and I got 2 broken ribs.

 

Saved the fingers...they were so chewed up there wasn't anything to stitch so they just wrapped them and they healed. When it happened I just wrapped them in a rag and kept working (more carefully) When wifey saw it she freaked and took me to the ER.

 

Glad you could keep them for a while.

 

I Ride And Race Motocross And The Local Desert Series, When I Was Sixteen I Got My License And Three Weeks Later Got Hit By A Guy Running A Red Light... No Injury. After That My Mom Was Freaked Out And Didnt Want Me To Drive... Two Months Went By And I Asked If I Could Drive To The Local Track To Practice She Said Yes. The Next Day I Got Up Early And My Dad Said I Couldnt Go... I Was Pissed. Later That Day My Buddy Called Me To Rub In How Good The Dirt Was I Hung Up The Phone And Punched My Door Braking A Few Bones In My Hand. The Irony Is I Then Couldnt Ride For Two More Months And Also I Had Never Broken A Bone Before. 3 Years Of Bmw Racing And 8 Years Of Motocross To This Day Not Broken Bones Except From That *&$#ing Door. Thats My Dumb Injury.

 

one time, for no apparent reason.....i was in my grandma's living room looking at the lamp and decided to spit on it. bad idea.......the bulb shattered and sent shards of glass into my chin and cheek. i still wonder why the hell i did that!!

 

How old were you?

Nothing says "I love you" like a punch to the face through a window!

 

Ok here goes
A few years back I was changing struts on an old car I had
Me being the king of cheap decided I could do it the old okey
way and smash those springs down with a handyman jack
wire them up and change them struts.It all went smooth till
I had them back together and figured I could save time by just reaching
into the fender well with a set of wire cutters.
Took them fireman about 30 minutes to free my wrist
1 surgery and a few pins later I relized it wasnt worth the 6 bucks I saved on the rental of a spring compressor

 

Chalk it up as a learning experience!

 

I think it was actually about 4 to many beers

 

Either way, at least you've pinpointed the problem.
