Stupid *-* that got you hurt thread!

[Vegeta]

I had TO!
Im gonna list soem of my stupid crap... I wanna hear cool stuff like my own:

When I was 12 I build ramps for my bike w/ metal jagged pedal... one time after ramping my foot came off the pedal. I tried frantically to get it back on, hit ground, and drove knee into pedal taking skin off to bone from 2 inches below knee cap on up.... !

When I was 11 me and pyro friend blew up a car with hommade cheery bomb. It was a junker in his back yard anyways.

When I was 13 I was haning christmas light on roof. Got done, was walking across roof.. and heard a crack.. then slipped on patch of ice BACKWARDS and feel off of roof... that was teh longest 2.3 sec. / 8 feet I have even felt.

Have cuaght garage on fire six times. Count em. six. Once was playing with a spray can of starter fluid (ehter)... that ruiden a nice pair of khakies too. One was when i was tryign to get spilt paint off of workbench. I figured lighting the paint thinner on fire would make the paint come off faster. One was when i was playing with my favorite flammable liquid, ARCO-SOLV, on concrte floor... makes thsi dull blue flame that u cant resist...

The biggest was a few months ago. I had a plastic container full of Acro-solv sitting on workbench. I was soldering on some parts and put iron down to go get a bolt. The cord of hte iron pulled on it, spinning it around and INTO the plastic container, which it melted a hole int oand leaked all over. I couldn't find hte bolt, and it took long enought to heat the stuff up and caught it on fire. I remeber hearing a distintive flame sound, tehn turning aronnd to see my workbench on fire. So I tried to pat it out with a towel. No good. So i ran and got a backet of water to pour on it. Did I mention that Acro-Solv is OIL BASED? Yea.. its spread it ALL OVER. Eventually had to use fire extingusiher.

Caught kitchen on fire once. Tried to maek grilled cheese in a toaster. Parents werent home and I dint know how to melt the cheese, so i stuck the cheese in between 2 slices of bread and put in it the toater on the high setting ,then went to tabel to go back to working on model car. Again, remebr hearing that distinctive "Whoosh!" of flame, then turing to see the bread/cheese had caught fire.

Was taking apart mag last night for first time. Had hte barrel resting in my crotch. Was taking out hte back valve screw when it popped out (cuase of the spring) and made a poping noise.. scaring the - outa me... thats just not cool.


I have many others, those were some of my favorites.

I thought it was a good idea to run down a cliff...

once a friend replaced a reg seat in a mag valve. no big deal you say?? after replacing it he wanted to see if it would leak so he gased up the valve. thats right the valve alone; it was not in the gun. if you have ever expericanced ture stupidity than I don't have to tell you what happened next. The on/off assembley shot out and hit me in the eye. I was not hurt. I had just spent $75 on a new mask to protect my eyes and this guy almost blinds me at the car. he don't work on guns any more, atleast not around me.

This is not something that I did but something that was done to me. I was at my brothers freinds house (with my brother of course), it was the middle of winter and my brothers freind older brother was pulling us on sleds using his snowmobile. It was a lot of fun, we would take turns getting pulled. Well my brothers freind thought that he would be funny and threw me at the snowmobile when it was coming past us. I missed the snowmobile and hit the sled that was being pulled behind it. They said that I did one and a half flips in the air smaked my head on some ice and flipped back the other direction. All I remember is lieing on the ground with a pounding headache. I was fine, not seriously hurt but my brothers friends brother almost killed him for throwing me though. That guy was a real ****, the last time I saw him he looked drunk off is arse and he was carrying a sport illustrated swimsuit issue. I really dislike that guy, a lot.

Went riding at night on my quad. Me and my cousin went out for a midnight run. After a while of hitting this jump, which was scary as hell to do at night. We decided to try and see how fast we could make it to this farm and back. On a normal ride it usually takes about a half hour to make the run. Well we made it half way in about 10 min. And then it happened. There are 3 ditches we have to get through. There about 8ft. wide and 6ft. deep. Normally we just slow down and drop in and ride out the other side. Well the last one go tuse real good. All I could remember is being behind my cousin and then all of a sudden he was gone. It was like the ground just opened up and swallowed him. Then I nemeber oh S*$T its the ditch. I locked up the front and back brakes trying to stop well it didn't work. I ran smack into the back of him and stopped dead in my tracks. My helmet hit him in the back and got slammed into my nose. I though that I broke it it was bleeding all over the place. After we dragged ourselves out of the pile up we made sure each other was all right. I got the worst of it. My cousin messed up his wrist from jamming into the handle bars when he hit and his back was alittle sore. After a couple of minutes of getting over the shock of just what happened we draged otu the bikes. Luckly our bikes took most of the damage. Plastic can be replaced body parts can't I hit him so hard I put a nice big dent in his grab bar. And I completely blew apart the front of my quad. Bent the steering stem, blew the plastic apart, and anialated the head lights. Needless to say we haven't been night riding in awhile and when we do we take it a bit slower and give each other more room than normal. Was one of the saciest things that ever happened to me.

was being pulled on a snowtube behind a snowmobile in a big field, then into an apple orchard. Do the math.

I have also been in a nasty quad accident. I was at my friends cabin and I took one of his quads for a run. I was gone for a while and he started to come look for me because I don't know my way around there that well. He was coming around a sharp corner the same time that I was and we only saw eachother at the last minute, we hit eachother head on and I went into the trees.

When I climbed out I was really dizzy but nothing hurt. I felt my front teeth, and there was 2 big holes. I started screaming then because I thought my teeth were gone for good. Fortunately my braces held them on but they were way up and touching my nose. It didn't even hurt!

We got lucky because the quads were pretty beat up and would have been really bad to drive back. But very fortuneately a man in a truck drove by, my friend (mitch on the forums) told me that this happens like once a month because there are only 2 cabins at the end of the road we got in the crash.

After 2 hospital visits and emergency dental surgery (which I might add was very painful), I came out alive and had straighter teeth than before! Then again I couldn't chew anything hard for like 2-3 months because they were so tender.

I have had to get lots of stuff done with my teeth, 2 root canals and some other stuff, and that all was very uncomfortable.

I am just happy that I got teeth and my leg wasn't broken(I did get a real nasty bruise though!)

This should teach people to not go fast on quads coming around turns...lol.

[MAGS own YOU]

Worst accident, at my a treefort my friends and i made a few years ago. He was shooting a compound bow(not the big hunting ones, but it was good strength) at a coke can about 15 feet infront of me, I sat down ont he ground to watch and my side was facing him. He shoots it and the next thing i remeber they are screaming help and im on the street. 19 stitches to the top of my head along with 2 nice and long shots to the inside of my ear. My shirt went from white to dark red. That is gonna be one day i wont ever forget. And thats a darn true story too.

I totally forgot four wheeler accidents!
The worst I have seen that actually got someone hurt was my dad. We were on this Yahmaha Moto 4, 80... and we tried to make it up this big hill made mostly of loose red clay. This is an 80 were talking about.. will balled tires... holding a 200 pound adult and a 100 pound kid (I was 9). We actually got about halfway and he told me to get off cuase it was too heavy. I did so and then he tried going up it more... He then felt it tipping backwards (This is a 60-70* slope) and so he let off the gas and brakes and roleld back down.. over my foot.. so he hit the brakes... and the back tire hit a rock.. and it fillped. He went flying down the hill on his back, finallying hitting the ground follwed by the four wheeler hitting him. When I got up and looked down I saw blood all over... The right end of the handlebar had turned, and, when he hit the ground, it went ALL THE WAY through his right cheek. I mean literally it was IN his mouth. He was all like not quite there, so I put him on the back and hauled *** back to my house... To fix the gored hole in his cheek he had to be taken to a St. Louis hospital, for our crap little country hospital had no idea what to do. They had to call in a plasic surgeon becuase they coulnd't find a way to just 'sticth' it closed. It was horrible.

One of my good friends, when she was 9, was riding her brotehrs dirt bike on her grandparents farm... she had never rode one before and was going quite fast for her experience. She was riding along the edge of hte field when she lost control and veered into a barbwire fence. Not head on, just alongside of it. The fenc cuaght her in the angkle and ripped out a chunk of her leg while she was grinding alon the fence. they couldn't repair it really, so now shes got this dent about 2x2 inches on the side of her leg... when people ask she says it was from a shark bite in florida, which it actually looks like that.

I was riding that same moto-e one day at my friends farm. His cousin was there with a banshee so I went out with him riding full speed through the feilds. Then we wnet up this hill, which wasnt really a hill, It was a pond dam. I saw him jump above it and turn.. well, so I floored it and jumped it, but I didn't land on the road that goes accros the damn, I went over it into the lake. This was a samll quad so i tried my hardest to keep it from sinking, which I could becuase it was only about 4 ft deep. Problem was, this was a 600 acre farm and the guy I was riding with didn't see me go over.. and he took off...

10 minutes later he came back looking for me and we pulled it out.

Once I was flooring my Bear Tracker 250 down my driveway, and then went to brake cause the gate at the end of my driveway was closed. Well I found that I had underjudged the distance, and the brakes just couldn't stop me on the loose rock fast enough. i hit the thing going about 30mph... threw me off the bike, and my leg cuaght and the handlebars and spun me, and put my back into the gate. Which sucked.

When I was 12 me and my pyro friend loved tinkering with engines of his gokarts. He had 2. WE could only mess with one, cuase hte otehr was his brothers. We messed up the engine and so we put one that was double the horsepower in it from a riding lawnmower. Then we couldn't get the accelorator cable to hook on the thing good.. it kept sticking. Did I mentio this thing didn't haev brakes? We drove it anyways. I challenged him to a race.. but I had to drive the messed up one. His driveway is a steep hill, leading down and into his garage. We both floor it, and I had the earrly lead. I went to pull into his garage when I tried to his the brake.. nothing. Thats juts not something you wanna feel... that empty feelling behind hte pedal when your going 40 mph towards a house. So I swerve off the road and onto a path the leads in the woods.. thats right.. teh woods going 40mph. I was just going to go till I figured out where the kill swith was. Well we replaced the engine. It didnt have one. Im heading for the river when I realize one simple thing. The spark plug. I reach back and pull the wire off it.. and it finally stops. Im stilling barreling through htere at top spped. I saw the riverbank and, in a last ditch effort, spun the thing. I did a 180, hit a tree, and heard a snap! five second later the drivebelt landed in front of me. I look around and the back of hte thing was UP ON the tree, haning over the river. I nearly peed my pants.

When I was 13 I took my old go cart that was missing a wheel and the gas and brake pedals. I "fixed" it and thought everything was perfect. Needless to say it wasn't, I had forgotten to check the other tire (front right) to make sure it was tight. Well while making a sharp left turn the wheel snapped off and I rolled like 4 times until I finally stopped in a ditch. Well I was wearing a motorcycle helmet and my seatbelt was on but it hurt my arm pretty bad. I still cannot believe I didn't check that tire, because it had to be an all time dumb moment.

[ronron2112]

oh boy.. where do i begin..

well... for starters the secretaries at the Dr's know me by name.

in 7th grade, i was in woodclass, we were making c02 powered cars. we had to drill the hole to hold the 12gram c02. so i took one look at the bit.. it was a 3/4" wood bit, so it looked pretty dam n scary, so i was still inline waiting and talking to my friend about how it would suck if you got your hand under that... (hint hint)so i went up to the drill press a lil queasy. everything was going fine till the bit hit the wood or should i say knot, the bit caught the wood, the wood split and kicked out from me and the bit's wing hit me in the thumb. it went from about the bottom of the nail to that 1st knuckle. it went through my thumb, and into my pointer finger. now, theres about 15 kids watching this happen.. the preppy girls were kinda screaming and haf inshock.. and i didnt even really know what happened untill the teachers voice woke me up "did it getcha?" then i lookes down and replied my normal voice "yea i think so" there was blood everywhere the sawdust, the bit, and my hand. (it felt like you caught your thumb im one of those old fashion egg beaters.) i went over to wash it out not thinking it was too bad, i mean, it didnt hurt too much. but you could see the bone when i put the water on it.. it was pretty nasty. went to the nurse.. and slept for about 30 min untill my mom and dad came to bring me to the ER. i got 4 stiches, then went back to school... wow i have never gotten so much "poop" for one thing in my life, it was hilar. still got a cute scar too!

One time I stubbed my toe, I was all like "I am soooo stupid" lol

ENDO!

[pumpamatic]

Let's see, my very worst accident was a year and a half ago, in a tech ed. I was grooving a board on a dado blade, and the board kicked back, i'm not sure how really. But stupid me, I had my left hand on the front of the board in line with the blade. Wasn't too pretty, so now I have a middle finger about even with the bottom of my ring finger's nail, and a pointer about to the ring finger's knuckle. Just got done taking two shop classes this year even after that.

Probably my second worst accident was just last friday. We were playing paintball, actually no. My friends were playing paintball, I was being chased around by them with no barrels in their guns after I ran out of air. They decide to hop on a 6 wheeler and do drive-bys. So I'm running by this cliff looking for a place to get to lower ground knowing a 6 wheeler couldn't. They pass by once, I duck behind a tree, nowhere to climb down in sight. When it was clear, I dashed about 50 yards along the cliff, and they came by again. I ducked behind this little deadfall. Well, they stopped the 6 wheeler and my friend comes after me. I knew I needed to hunker down. I slithered about a foot back and found out the cliff was right behind me. Next thing I know my mask is in my face and it feels like I'm free falling. Well, I got about 15 or 20 feet lower, then continued to roll down a hill a little bit. My first impact was about 2 feet from a pointy rock, it surely would have paralyzed me. Somehow my face got to looking like I have a serious case of road rash. Now I have a real purty shiner. Ok so I didn't even need hospital care, but a matter of feet or no mask and I would have.

ha ha

We should be in special ed carpentering class! lol

i rolled a racing go kart at 60 mph and lets just say people thought i was parylized but i walked away with only one scratch on my knee... supposedly the worst crash of all time at the go kart track... keep in mind these were not rental karts but really racing karts that top out at nearly 80 mph...

damn i am lucky

i have more stuff but my romeo and juliet homework is calling my name right now
