Man. That's horrible. How did you recover from that one? Did you need therapy or anything? I can't imagine anything worse happening!

OH THE HUMANITY!!!

You have my sympathy.

changing brake pads i forgot to pump them up so im backing up the truck and realize i have no brakes jump out to stop it (i no real wise thing to do) trailer hitch on the truck goes into my leg smashes me against my sisters car and pulls the muscle off the bone you could see the veigns like dangling in my leg.
i had surgery and they sewed the muscle back to the bone and stitched it up. about a month later i was as good as new. i was like 14 at the time.

I can't think of a personal injury, but a fawn gave her/his life while putting a small dent in my front bumper Monday on I80.

While opening a box of parts, the box-cutter unexpectantly came out of the cardboard and ended up through the thumbnail and most the way through the thumb on my other hand. For two months i had two thumbnails on my left hand.

I was doing some CAT5e punch downs today on some wall jacks... and I was using a dull punch tool... so I was using more force than necessary, and I slipped it the cutter end went right into my right index finger! Friggin' blood every where... my coworker was like... "Does that hurt? and Wow, that's a lot of blood... are you sure you are ok?"... I was like yeah... and while I was eating my blood, I continued to finish the one box. By the time I was done, I not only ate all the blood, but I also ate the piece of skin that tore off my finger.

Yum... FREE protein!
