[dew1911]

Dropped a Steel 110 Bumper on me foot... that bloody hurt.

[burgerman]

while doing some panel beating in my under sized/overstocked garage a pair of 4 pot calipers which were freshly painted and hanging of the rafters to dry, decided to come adrift and land on me bonce,,   #-o    ended up going rather nifty to A&E and havin copius amounts of super gloo applied to stem the flow , I knew there was a reason i didnt ahave any hair :lol:





      Also i stupidly worked under a car with no stands( VERY VERY VERY STUPID IDEA) I recomend never to try it, Any how the jack failed and ended up trying to bench press a astra gte off me, did nt suceed (no suprise there) but got some help summonsed and got out with a sore chest for about two weeks, Also took me about a year to get under a car again, even on one of those big 4 poster ramp things, Just glad i didnt own a landy back in those days, :?

:shock: When i used to work at a vehicle body builders i was walking on the back of a half built flatbed when i fell with one leg eitherside of a crossmember it somewhat hurt especialy as my feet never reached the floor had some very colouful bruises!! :?  :?

[Sharpshooter]

Didnt happen to me, but when i was in the HGV trade. An apprentice went under a 7.5 tonner between the brake rollers. He spent two weeks in hospital bruised to hell. Very lucky.  :o  :o

Take one 9 inch angle grinder, jam the blade so it shoots upwards and stick a body in the way and i'm left with a scar for life. I'm darn lucky it was just the plastic handle that got me rather than the disc.

[muddy_90]

tuck a screw driver though my hand

[Xtremeteam]

opened my face up with a 18 inch ratchet changing radius arm buches on a 90,cool scar on my face now

[muddyjlx]

drilled through both wrists.
set fire to my nuts

[dew1911]

set fire to my nuts

We said work shop, not drunken night out.

[dreadnought110]

:? went under a coach once on a crawlwer board and felt somthing pressing on my pocket then realised it was the coach coming down on it's air suspension i have never moved so quick in my life!!!! :D

[the loon]

nearly took off the toes on my right foot with an angle grinder . next time I'll wear steel toe capped boots

[dew1911]

Bet that was scary... A guy my dad works with had a similar incident where he was laid on a 6 legger chassis playing with the prop and body started to lower, I've never seen someone dive quite so far before.

[dreadnought110]

:shock: I tell you what it's blo*dy amazing what you can do when your life depends on it!! :shock:

[landraver]

 :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

A squirrel's nightmare!!

[skip]

Changing a flail on a mower an the spanner slipped, hit myself on the head. got sent home with concusion, I knew what i was talking about but nobody else did :lol:

[abinitio]

Managed to drill my forehead(yes I said forehead) and I'm sure many of you who weld now and again can relate to the burning trousers syndrome.

[landroverkeith]

Trying to save time cutting some plastic on my knee suprise suprise knife went through plastic and into my knee...... was a awful lot of blood and quite a scar left

[jaws]

would be easier to list what part of the body hasn't been hit,burnt,cut of trapped!part of playing with trucks,can especially relate to the air suspension going down.it's weird the images that flash before your eyes!

[Terminus]

When draining the fuel tank on a motorbike I learned three things

1: That you should always check the floor in case muppet has dropped a box of matches there.  

2: Don't kneel on the box of matches by accident

3: Don't sit bewildered for serveral seconds wondering what happened and what that warm flickering glow is (eyebrows optional)

Oh and the final additional lesson make sure it's someone elses garage  :lol:

[gtomo2]

not did it myself but on exercise in the black forest in germany. my tank broke down. And the reme guys came out to fix it one lifted the back armour plate up as the other looked in to the engine bay. and yes the guy holding the armoured deck up slipped and it came crashing down onto the other reme lads hand. at least it was a clean cut stright through his wist. it took us ages to find his hand in the engine bay after :shock:

[yer auld aunt nelly]

Nelly's rear drums scraped my shoulder blades as she kicked a farm jack out from beneath her I rolled out just in time and she went 4"inche's into the tarmac :shock: .Put a 8 mil bit right through my palm and out the other side shouting at the kids  :roll: .But the nastyest ive seen was a 9" cutting disc with the lock on run up the inside of someones leg whilst he was laying down using it.It caught he dropped it and of it went missing his credentials by millimeters  :shock:  :shock:  :shock: But he was happy to be cut to the bone the length of his leg!! Rather than what could have happened.Bone cut away, skin grafts, muscle removed and a permanent limp but like i said he thinks he got away lightly!!!!!!!!!!    :shock:  :shock: So the morale of this story is never "lock on" a grinder when your beneath it,I suppose

[dew1911]

Sorry but I just thought of this one,

Goodness Gracious, Great balls of fire!

[jjsaul]

nail through my finger...near skim down my finger with a grinder...
etc
im dangerous!

now when working under the car i seem to wear more PPE than when i'm at work!

[bezzabsa]

hacksawed the end of my finger -while listening to someone explain why you should pay attention when sawing!!
stripping 3 core wire with my teeth - suppose i should have unpluged the other end first -result 1 missing front tooth!
and using a super duper sharp kitchen knife to cut a washing machine hose - managed to cut down to my knuckle.
also had a cortina bonnet on my head - ex wife was SUPPOSED to be holding it up - and let go to wave at someone!!

[smo]

Wasnt in a workshop, more a kitchen...

Sharpening large kitchen knife for suinday roast using some nasty daft little hand held V shaped thing, decided that one more "stroke" should do it, slipped and went striaght through my hand, into the bone/cartilidge of the knuckle joint on my index finger. Was a bit messy as the skin instantly peeled back leaving me looking at the inside of my hand while it peed blood out. 12 Stitches later and i was put back to rights, but it split again when they were removed, nasty! Just got a big lump, slightly immobile finger and scar to show for it now.

[JD LWB]

I've not done anything serious to myself in the workshop (touch wood).  The worst I've done is nearly cut my thumb off with a Stanley knife.  You all know the scenario, you're cutting something and want to get it done quickly, you're holding down what you're cutting with your left hand and guess what. The knife slips!  A nice clean cut down to the tendon (luckily it didn't catch it).  A trip down to A & E and 5 stiches later, I now have something to show the little ones why you don't play with knives.

Take one 9 inch angle grinder, jam the blade so it shoots upwards and stick a body in the way and i'm left with a scar for life. I'm darn lucky it was just the plastic handle that got me rather than the disc.
