Silly injuries ?

Also broke my little finger trying to catch the ball while playing football. Tried to tough it out for till the end of the game but couldn't. Good job really as i'd shattered the knuckle. I can now do some neat party tricks with it.
 
I ruptured my achilles tendon last week stretching up to get something off the top of the fridge/freezer... ouch!!

A little ironic if you consider I train with weights a lot and I use around 500lb for doing calf raises - going up on my toes to exercise the calf muscle!

for some reason this has me laughing my head off, getting strange looks off the lass trying to explain to her how it actually is funny :p

For my own was watching the Newcastle/Boro game at the end of the season in my mates loft room. We scored I jumped up forgetting the low ceiling and knocked myself spark out and cut my head open. Missed the end of the game :(
 
I tripped, fell down some stairs, and landed on my two front teeth. :o


The ice cream only diet was fun while it lasted.
 
after i finished at the gym a few weeks back a few friends mentioned they were at the pub and i could come along and join them. I popped along although i didn't fancy drinking so was on the waters. at the end of the evening i stood up to leave but as soon as i was up my left knee just gave way sending me crashing into the table with our empty glasses on it and then onto the floor. i then had to hobble out with my friends supporting me. I'm sure the bar staff were impressed with the mess.
 
When trying to push through a blanking plate with a screwdriver, my finger went thrrough with the screw driver. Cut bout half an inch down my finger, it bled quite a lot for all the size of it.

Also bout 6 months ago, must have hit my big toe against a door and only now is the nail ( complete with nail bed) dropped off. So another good few months for that to repair. :(
 
I had 2 food related burns in 2 days!
I bit into a pasta 'shell' to see if it was cooked, (forgetting that pasta shells straight out of the pan tend to be full of boiling water) scalded my lip and down my chin - omg lip burns are SO painful and look ridiculous, healed pretty quickly though!
The day before that I had been making spun sugar to go on top of a dessert (how pretentious, i know) and managed to dip my finger into molten sugar! ouch ouch ouch - the blister looked gross, couldn't really use my finger for a few days, and 2 weeks later i still have a manky finger-tip!

I have the other usualy daft accidents such as getting a stanley knife blade stuck in the end of a finger and trapping fingers in car doors/windows.

My cousin fell down a flight of stairs and through the widow at the bottom, he also (this is yeeeeears ago) go his head cut open by a 2p coin that had been thrown towards him!

My husband (before I knew him) jumped down a flight of stairs and whacked his head on the low ceiling and ended up in A+E with stitches!

My brother broke his arm, skating, nothing tooooo silly there - but ended up back in casualty 2 days later when he got a 15cm ruler stuck down his cast after he'd used it to scratch an itch, it got stuck, snapped off when he tried to prise it out - and jabbed into his arm!
 
I once did a backflip during PE at school, off a box horse onto a crash mat, the teacher said it was the most impressive backflip he'd seen apart from the landing where as I landed and bent my legs, curled into a ball from the momentum, I kept going and proceeded to knee myself in the eyeball...good times
 
I have stitches on my butt from falling downstairs on a sunday morning with a glass bowl in my hand. I'd just woken up and only had a towel on..

The bowl shattered against the wall and I then proceeded to slide down the stairs on my butt over the glass.

I cleaned up the glass, then when I got into the shower I found the deep incisions. So my housemate took me to the hospital where a nice nurse stitched me up and I spent the week off work as I couldn't sit. Apparently I died falling down the stairs..
 
When i was younger i jumped over a wall in a single almighty bound only to find the other side was a ditch full of broken washing machines, and moments later my broken arm.
I also jumped off a swing once to go as far as i could and landed and did that thing where you are inevitably going to fall but are running for ages as you slowly angle downwards and hit a stone pillar and broke my wrist.

And the other day i caught my knuckles on the grill :(

My gf took a pizza out of the over when wasted with no oven gloves on and didn't notice lol, mmm blister hands.

Edit: Worst one ive witnessed was my best mate snapping planks of wood at the bottom of the garden by stamping on them, i dont think i need to say that a nail went in the bottom of his foot and out of the top 'blerg!'
 
My car has frameless doors and TWICE now I have managed to whack the underside of my chin on the glass edge whilst' getting in.

:(
 
Unscrewed top of razor off to get blade out..slipped on the shaving wax and sliced open thumb/forefinger on left hand to the bone.

Sink water turned red, then I woke up on the bathroom tiles in a pool of blood, passed out :D
 
broke my right knuckle (i think) about a year ago and did nothing about it, now i get cramp in it all the time and have to click my knuckles every 5 minutes. really annoying lol espcially when cycling have to grab onto handlebars tight to click them or when holding something.

also trying to open thick plastic with a knife in a downward motion swipe...not the best idea :D was in a hurry

sounds like a script out of a final destionation film :eek:
 
Pulled a tray out of the oven, with it came the rack, the tray slipped down the back, i went to grab it with my bare hand, burned fingers on the tray and hand on the red hot bit. Scarred me.
Got a habit of closing the car door hard as i pull my foot in crunched my ankle in it, couldnt walk on it.
 
Not recent but when i was about 4 years old we had an old pallet leaning up against the back of the shed in the garden which i used to try to use as a ladder trying to get on the shed roof, one day whilst doing this i slipped and tore part of my groin open on a rusty nail that was sticking out (just missed my scrotum and the artery in the groin)


second incident was at secondary school whilst playing rugby in a PE lesson, i slipped over only to get another member of my team run straight across my knee tearing a chunk of flesh out with the studs on his boots, i then ended up in A&E for about 5 hours for it to be stitched and a nurse to then try and play darts on my butt whilst administering the tetanus jab :mad:
