Today i was chopping a trail in the near by forest, and my knife slipped out of my hand ( i know, im stupid.) and went through my shoe, and cut allll the way to the tendon and severed it. After yelling a few four letter words, i got a cast, stitches, crutches, and im getting surgery wednesday...
i wanted to know what are some injuries you guys have had? :D

I've had a hell of a time with injuring myself.

So far I've:
- Been in a head on car crash
- Impaled myself on a construction star-picket (removing my appendix)
- Shattered my coccyx (tailbone) in a skating accident (was temporarily paralyzed and can't sit comfortably anymore)
- Got hairline fractures in both wrists and ankles from skating
- Fallen in a manhole and had a nail go through my shin into the bone.
- Put my hand through a commercial tomato slicer (basically cutting my fingers into paper thin slices from tip to knuckle)
- Had multiple piercings ripped out (worst ones were in my septum and bridge)
- Had the back of my neck sliced open with a razor blade
- Had a razor slice from my elbow to wrist (on the back of my arm)
- had the head of a nail puncture through my knee and out the other side.
- And I've sliced my thumb almost clean off with a Stanly knife.

There's more but they're the worst.

Lase - Could you still use your fingers after the tomato slicer wound had healed?

Personally I have not had many injuries, mostly cuts on my hands.
However, I gashed my left hand open with a dremel (8 stitches), I buckle-fractured a bone in my wrist, and some shrapnel from an explosion skimmed my shoulder, making a shallow gash.

Yes luckly, my hand went through horizontally so the bone stopped the blades from hitting any nerves. Took a 2mm chip out of 3 of my finger bones too. My hand is less sensitive than it used to be but fully functioning.

I'll add my partner had our cat bite though their finger only a month or 2 ago. One fang went through the edge of the nail and out the tip.

So we're pretty accident prone in this house.

Haven't had anything serious in years. Got lucky with one gash that barely missed a tendon.

:umbrella:This thread provides a good reminder to wear protective gear. Hope it lives long & prospers.
There is great protective gear online, really cheap compared to injuries.

Well, I'm not very accident prone compared to some off the people here but, here goes

-Cut my thumb to the bone almost slicing off my tendon with a stanly knife
-Broke both of my arms in a bike accident, I hit a newspaper, then it made me swerve into a fence and I flew a couple of feet before I landed on concrete, lol.
-Got stabbed with a pencil (one of those "wtf?!?!" moments
-Hit my head on the side of a table and had blood dripping on the floor.
-Fell off a bike and severly scraped my knee's, elbow's and forehead.

Last saturday I was cycling downhill and I wanted to reach the highest speed. In 33 mph when I came into curve I fell and broke helmet, cut jacket and trousers, also my face, legs, hands all my body. Cause of this I'm staying few days home and check FPF. It didn't hurt so much but I look very bad.

Yet. I'm trying for it.

I've also:
- Had a paddling board crack me in the chin breaking my jaw and splitting my head open on the bricks on the edge of the pool when I was 8.
- Skating down a hill at ~50Kms and hit a rock, flew a couple of meters and ripped the skin off 60% of my chest and back.
- Been KO'd by a baseball being thrown to 2nd base.
