**jneal** · 03-06-2007, 02:47 PM

no wait... its a wonder I lived past 25.... building some crates to ship windows in I put my hand behind the wood and shot a nail through it into my palm.

not the brightest thing I've done.

Injury not that bad, but funny how it happened.

I'm a cop in a narc unit. We were doing a deal that went bad, and one of the bad guys takes off. I go running after him right across 4 lanes of busy traffic like a dumb-***. Luckily, neither of us gets hit. I'm doing good, and am closing in on BG when I hear behind me "we're releasing the dog." Oh sh**!. I tried to climb the brick building next to me to no avail. So I stand real still and try to look like the brick wall as I cry like a girl with visions of Fido chomping on my sack (a premonition of sorts).

K9 handler and dog go by, and I relax and get back in the chase. K9 handler warns BG a few more times, then releases. Dog homes in like a missile, and chomps on BG's arm. Bg starts fighting dog, punching kicking, etc (guess he didn't like it for whatever reason). Well, me and K9 handler catch up - cavalry isn't there yet. Handler starts giving dog commands in some language I don't speak - an error on my part (damn public education).

Dog lets go, and starts backing up. I thought handler must told dog "that's enough", when in fact he said "sick balls" and dog was just taking a break to get a better hold. I thought dog was done, and BG looks like he's going to run again. So I do my part and tackle BG just at the same moment as the dog does the same. Well, I'm in plain clothes and look like a dirthead too. I'm also a bigger target, so the dog gets ahold of the biggest piece of meat he can - just to the right of my crotch on the uppen inside of my thigh.

Well, me and BG are on the ground fighting, handler is yelling something in Dutch (probably "keep sicking balls") and I'm being drug by my crotch away by the dog. The boys in blue get there and jump in (handler is too smart to get in the way of the dog - the dog with steel canines BTW). I do what any self-respecting tough guy would do . . . . I start screaming like a girl to get the dog off me (who is now shaking his head back and forth in an apparent effort to rip away what he had gotten ahold of).

Well, handler figures out the person screaming like a little girl is me, and calls dog off. I limp to the car after much giggling by the other officers and go to the ER. Doc cuts off some loose skin and gives me my shots. Oh - and everyone on the shift and at the hospital comes by to laugh at me. I'm OK with it, as I would do the same to anyone else. Pic below right after I got out of the ER for the injury report. Bruising got much worse over the next few days, but the boys were OK.

ouch that sucks

my stupidest was one day i was out in the driveway, it started to rain, so i decided to run really fast into the garage, o yeah...i was barefooted, my garage floor has a lip right at the beginning of the floor where the garage door meets the ground, so anyways, i was running and i hit the lip with my foot right below my toes. I fell flat on my face and had to crawl inside. I went to the doctor, i fractured two bones in my foot, the worst part was that i missed skiing with a bunch of kids at school and missed the first couple of days of baseball tryouts
it sucked big time

There are easier ways to hunt, brother.

I dropped a cast iron wood stove on my ankle. Tripped while carrying it with another guy, and I was the one backing up...

Jeep was rolling backwards while parked in a garage there was a car parked behind it. I was pretty sure i could open the door jump inside and put the brakes on i was wrong i opened the door and got my arm caught between garage and jeep door. Impact was so hard it cut the blood flow to my hand its called compart syndrome needed 2 surgerys.

**Beefstew** · 03-06-2007, 03:14 PM

Note to self: Do not attempt to stand in/on a campfire, simply to prove you were tougher than your friends...

I broke my femur and tried to walk it off.
Another time I rode a motorcycle through a fence and gashed my arm, I didnt realize there was a problem till I saw all of the blood..

nichols077 · 03-06-2007, 04:04 PM

dumbest injury was yesterday when i stuck my hand inside a pizza stove at work to grab a half cooked pepperoni. burnt the hell out of my arm but the pepperoni was damn good.

pyro9862 · 03-06-2007, 04:06 PM

Putting a sand spreader on the back of a pickup I grabbed it in the wrong spot. Me and another guy went to shove it in and the tip of my middle finger ended up wedged between a piece of box tubing on the truck and a piece of angle iron on the sander. Removed the skin completely from about 1/4in in front of where the nail starts at a 45 degree angle outward.

My doctor tried to send me to a plastic surgeon to have him take a patch of skin off my arm and put it on my fingertip, if I didn't do this I would have nasty scar tissue for a fingertip. I said no to that so he insisted he needed to remove the nail since it would never grow back right and inhibit healing. Well two months later my nail is grown back, a little discolored down at the bottom though, the skin looks like nothing ever happened to it except a small patch which has yet to heal. Silly doctor.

**ancestralworm** · 03-06-2007, 04:09 PM

was in the back of a car that got hit by a train. did a number on my scull though wasnt nuthin some staples couldnt fix.

split the end of my finger trying to sharpen a 10 inch cleaver while cookin up a gumbo. that sucked.

Many years ago when I worked as a roughneck in the oil field, I had my ankle crushed by a 6" drill collar rolling over it. If the 2 x 4 had not been there, I would have lost my foot. So the 1-5/8" saved my lower left extremities. For those of you that have never been in the oil field, that is equivalent to roughly 9,500 lbs. Ouch! 6 men grabbed one end of the collar to lift it off of me and could do anything but grunt. I still have the two screws in me that held the ankle together.
