sounds like you should just give up now before it kills you, or be more careful.

Got my hand caught in a SprayForce rig while mixing once and broke three fingers on my left hand, two had to be pinned surgically. I was lucky it was the old 14 hp single tank, if it'd been my current 40hp twin-tank, I'd lost my arm at the elbow or shoulder. Before you ask, I'd reached in to retrieve a mud bag and thought I was quicker than the mixer. I was wrong. It also smashed my wedding ring into a "D" shape, had it repaired and the jeweler insisted on pre-cutting it so it'd break if ever a next time.

Yeah, I've got nothing here. Worst I've got is just thinking. I've been on site when one of the guys fell down a flight of stairs on 10' stilts.

True, but look who suffered for anothers stupidity. It would still make me feel better to see the bloody snot beat out of him. Or maybe falling face first into that machine. Being stupid really isn't that good of an excuse.

This isn't a winner but I still laugh. My old Boss ( who never payed me out) was a total cluts, I watched him walk off scaffold and slide down the hinges of the garage door, Trip on his own tools daily usually smashing his bazooka into the ground in the process. I've had to pull my trowel out of his head after walking under me on stilts. He almost cut his finger off with a trowel trying to catch a smoke.Hmmm.. Cleaning his trowel in a bucket of water talking away then the bucket goes red.. that would happen usually once a week. I could go on.. and Yes its bad of me to laugh at his pain but if you knew him you'd think it was Karma coming back to get him

Bailed out of a scissor lift and fell 6½ feet. Made contact with bare concrete on my left side. Broke right wrist, left elbow and ruptured my spleen which I didn't know had happened until I nearly died of blood loss 3 weeks later.
I utter blood curdling moans whenever I see booms and lifts passing by. That's what I get for rushing a job.

Nothing as bad as the original poster, but I've had paint chips in my eye (doesn't sound bad, but very very painful).
I fell of a ladder from the second story of a house. I sprained my wrist, but that was the extent of my injuries. Obviously some bruises and scrapes along the way, but nothing to cry about. |
