I better get some of them goggle things for when I'm cutting live gas pipes with my grinder then.

I'm only mucking about. I'm actually a bit anal about trying to look after myself. Always got my safety glasses on top of my head. I'm trying not to learn things the hard way.

Just gota stop coring from a step ladder with my arms in the air holding a cheap drill
 
working on combine harvesters in usa in 82, had to clean the sieves off in the back of the combine due to a sudden influx of Skunk (if you didnt the smell stayed longer than 5 days!!). the sieves seemed jammed, so both hands on and large heave, only to find they were now on greased rails!!, so no time to remove the old thumbs before sieve in front slid into sieve behind and interlocked in a perfect fit, inc thumbs. Later that night, off to wild west A&E , pay up front to have thumbs drained. Told nurse that I hate needles, informed not to be a wuss, doctor heated needle and inserted into nail one, off I went, head down into worktop. Out with wallet again to pay for stiches over the eye now. Only good thing, got to rest head in her cleavage as they sewed me up and did other thumb, pig was that I was due to see her in the morning for breakfast :))) and the boss had us move onto to the next town first thing. :( missed out on a promise there. Overall it wasnt a good 24 hours.
 
Backing my old commer van into a turning as id gone the wrong way and another car came around the corner. I stopped but the sliding door didnt and bounced back hitting me right on the temple the guy behind was so stupid he started blowing his hooter, i jumped out and run to the back of the van to explain the error of his ways and he took one look and revesed in haste it wasnt till i realise i couldnt see out of one eye i looked in the mirror to find i looked like something out of a horror movie with blood everywhere and a 3 inch gash at which point i collapsed on to the step
by comparson the nine inch angle grinder i hit my thigh with didnt bleed at all as the hot blade seals as it cuts needed 12 stitches
 
Oddly enough though it didn't hurt and as I was about 40km from the nearest hospital; I found the use of kitchen roll judicious until the job was done and I could get to the pub.
 
This one definitely takes the prize for most horrific injury I think! I don't think I would have stayed standing when I saw that one, and I would consider myself tough as old nails!

Split my little finger in half on my left hand while chiselling out beside a metal box. Chisel got stuck and I slammed it over.

Stood there for a moment with me eyes shut trying not to think of the pain when I heard drip..........drip..........drip....drip....drip..drip..dripdripdripdripdripdripdripdrip......

I looked down and saw a large and rapidly expanding pool of claret. Looked at my finger and my knees nearly went because i'd split my wee finger in half and could see bone. My nail was in three pieces.

The most painful bit was a week later when the doctor tore the dressing off without warning me. When I came back up from under the table he'd scarpered, leaving me with a very worried looking young nurse!

LOL will try again - this one I mean.
 
I broke my wrist with a club hammer as an apprentice. I missed the chisel and hit my arm. Boss didnt believe I was in enough pain so made me finish the day before I finally got the hospital. That was before "where's there's blame there's a claim!"
 
In a really confined space in a cellar leaking iso valve changed the olive doing it back up and my bahco slipped straight into my forehead, 7 stitches later....
 
I swerved to avoid a child today and fell off the bed.

(the old ones are the best):D

Today I was on my knees tightening up a comp tee under a sink with my head in close proximity.

Bacho slipped off the nut and the butt of it pummelled me straight in the skull. Right on the bone above my eye.

No visual damage but boy it hurt!!

Like a Bruce lee one inch punch but with a spanner!!

I can see why people use speed fit now !
 
Blowing down a pump once as forgot to mark F&R and got back from bakers...mind was blank. Kneels down lips to flange (on pump). Eye tingles then huts. Leckky goes off. 240 through my right eye ball! No obvious damage.
 
Breaking up scrap copper managed to get my thumb squashed in the fold of a pipe. Sawing off the top of my figure was not to impressive too.
 
thought my arm was hurting today, to see i was stuck to the freezer head, nice ice burn and missing flesh as i pulled myself off!!!!
