Stupid accidents

Well i am spending more time on here - commenting and reading than usual because i am normally so busy with 2 businesses and a shoot to run.
The shoot takes my time up actually.

Why - because i had a stupid accident while looking for lost birds !

I stood on a tree stump hidden in bramble - that had not been felled level. The hinge essentially went up my shin and filleted me !

What daft accidents have you had ?
 
Ouch! Not me but a friend went for a quiet family walk in the woods, fell awkwardly and broke his leg! From my time working in the woods..I tripped carrying an uncovered chainsaw (off) and badly cut my arm, close but not serious.
If I left a stump high I got boll locked. Stumps on an extraction route had to be sloped so as not to catch timber being dragged out.
 
I was replacing the steel on my flat bed pick up this February I had a sheet of steel on the bed that was wider than the bed as I bent down to mark the underside so I could cut it off I caught the sheet In a loop on my work trousers bending it down then as I moved it spang back up firing a self tapping screw into my left eye, four operations later it's still knackered.
 
11 years ago, out at hinds, to avoid wading through a burn, went across a wooden bridge. Slipped as I went across, landed on my rifle and put 2 fractures in my hip socket. Still hurts.....
 
Im always in too much of a rush with things i think

2 weeks ago i jumped off the digger - catching my shirt of the automatic cut off lever - fortunately it was only a primark purchase or something because i managed to rip myself free - if had been a quality item i dare say i will still be suspended from it now !!
 
Cutting a heavy sheet of steel with oxy acetelyne . Went to step back then realised the plate was on top of my steel toe cap. Had to be rescued by a mate with a crowbar after he stopped laughing
 
Was cutting a 90mm PVC pipe with a woodsaw many years ago. The saw jumped out and the forward stroke took it neatly lengthwise down my left index finger. Champion scar to remind me.
Grant.
 
thirteen or so, fishing had to pee. Just finished bite on one rod yanked up zip, end of weaner stuck in zip, extreme pain walking just possible, am sure you can imagine. Lifted into car casualty, injection in weaner (female nurse) zip pulled down, minor damage to foreskin, helmet good. Worst yet to come, they put some blue stuff round/ over said bell end used to be put on wasp stings moons ago. Long story short stayed blue for ages stained weaner. Go careful out there

Done that and got the pictures to prove it,not for family viewing.
 
Some of us young ones ( a long time ago) made a gocart out of a the back axle from a trike.
The axle still had the drive sprocket on… you can probably guess whats next
Long story short ..my leg got drawn into the bit between the go cart and the sprocket bringing us to a skidding halt…reversed up to release my now rather chewed calf muscle …looked like a .308 exit wound.
What a mess
 
When I was a teenager I was out sunbathing in the family yard and my mother jumped into the van to go into town. She never seen me and drove straight at me. The wheel caught my hip bone and pushed me along the concrete. I was lucky it didn't go over me. The concrete ripped the skin of both cheeks of my arse but besides that I was OK.
